Julie & Martin on Rhapsody in Blue

Julie & Martin on Rhapsody in Blue

22 күн бұрын

We start with our usual slow-paced, relaxing cruise, in our NARROWBOAT Floating Home, along the Grand Union canal, from Weedon Bec to Whilton Marina. We have a BBQ, and in the morning, a lovely cooked breakfast at the marina café with Nikki, and meet the new owner Mario. We work our way up the Buckby double lock flight and head towards Braunston Tunnel, the approach to the tunnel is just beautiful, sounds of nature, greenery & birdsong …. but in the tunnel we have a SCARY moment!! 😱
We MOOR near to the Admiral Nelson pub, see Morris Dancing, have a family visit, we see friends Wes & Amy and get to see some of the historic working boats getting ready for the weekend’s rally!
Our NEXT VIDEO will be the Historic Boat Parade and a look around the rally stalls!
Hope you enjoy this video! 😃 xx

If you are new to our channel, here’s a little introduction. We are Julie and Martin and in 2021 we sold our house and gave up our jobs, to live full time on a narrowboat. We bought our 2004 narrowboat Rhapsody in Blue in the September and have been living full time onboard ever since. We hadn’t intended on vlogging, but recorded videos for ourselves, friends and family and it has escalated into the weekly vlogs you see today. We like to keep it real, no dramas, just life as it really is living on the water, with a few giggles along the way … it’s so lovely to have you all onboard! ❤️
Please join us as we continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK, sharing our relaxing cruises and adventures with you all, thank you! ❤️
We’ve made a few playlists for you too, one with all our favourite cruises, one of the river Nene cruises, and the other is all of our vlogs from the beginning, so you can binge watch to see where we’ve been so far! There’s also a walk through of our narrowboat home too, come inside and see how we live. ❤️

Weather, subject matter, videography, commentary, all bang on for an absolutely brilliant video. Then the icing on the cake the sound of your voiceover to draw the viewer even further in. I was so engaged in it all that by the end I was surprised that I hadn’t “caught the sun” 😀😀. You are quite a team, thanks for posting.

I love the reflections in the canals, be it sky,clouds,trees or bridges. Love it when a bridge makes a complete circle. Aren't all the various bridges magnificent not like the concrete lumps we now put up?

Yes, you’re definitely like me, I love seeing the old bridges, so much work and effort went into them, not like the pre-cast concrete bland structures they build today. And yes, absolutely love the reflections in the water, my favourite of course being coming out of tunnels, it’s mesmerising! Thank you so much Jackie xx

Hi guys beautiful as ever, the greenery and foliage is just stunning over there. It's bloomin cold here at the moment frost on the lawn in the morning and rug up weather.🥶 25 degrees is perfect weather for taking my MG out, I love driving through the Adelaide hills with the top down and stopping at a country bakery for a pasty and a chocolate donut.😌 Come Christmas time here it gets so hot sometimes up to 45 degrees, so hot the tar on the roads starts to melt.🥵 So we stay in as much as possible unless we are visiting family and friends or going to the beach latter in the afternoon. Those old boats are beautiful so much history being kept alive, That's not to say The Rhapsody In Blue is an ugly duckling she's stunning as well.😆 Oh well stay safe guy's and I'll see you on the next one.👍🏻👍🏻❤

Such beautiful views there before the first mooring. The Answer in Houston for the road traffic noise was to build these bloody great big sound walls.. ruined the view an they all turned into ugly graffiti billboards. We all just adore Nikki and Finn! She's got too be the most famous non vlogger on the cut haha! And I love the sound of her engine. I actually worked in a tunnel for eight years with the Texas Highway Department. it was called the Baytown -Laporte tunnel. 1 and a quarter miles long. can be scary when completely dark.. I love the old boats but your still stands out as the nicest and tidiest boat on the cut 😊 Cheers you All an Be Safe!

Hi Steve, those walls sound awful, blocking out views and inviting graffiti, sometimes makes you wonder what goes through the minds of these people in charge! 🫣 it’s lovely travelling with Nikki and Finn, we always have a giggle and she’s a lot of fun, you’re right, I think she is the most famous non- vlogger, everyone knows her along the cut! That was certainly a long tunnel you were working on, but in the dark it really is scary, I couldn’t believe Martin leant on the light switch! 🫣 Aww and thank you for that lovely compliment, it’s all down to Martin, he does like to keep the boat looking nice! Thank you so much Steve! xx

Hey guys, I notice that a lot of the out of the way mooring spots along the canals are overgrown but, could you grab a weed eater (not sure what you guys call them) and cut the grass/weeds if you wanted to moor in one or is that something that the CRT frowns on? Thanks for another enjoyable and relaxing vlog. Take care.
@JulieandMartinonRIB
@JulieandMartinonRIB 20 күн бұрын
Hi Roger, we have a pair of shears for when the moorings are overgrown, we are thinking of getting a small cordless strimmer. The CRT used to trim to the edges and keep the banks tidy, but in the last few years have changed their policy and only do a path in the middle of the towpath, so we have to do it ourselves. In some places it can be dangerous, as you can’t see if there are any holes when everything is overgrown, plus you end up with ants nests, wasp nests and all sorts, so it makes mooring up a little more difficult sometimes. We do enjoy the ‘middle of nowhere’ moorings though, a little gardening is worth it when you get the lovely views! Thanks Roger! xx

Such beautiful scenery. I have a question or two, if you don't mind. From time to time, you refer to time-limited moorings. 2 days, 2 weeks, etc. I also see "groomed" moorings and "wild" moorings in use. My questions are: How do you tell how long you can stay at a mooring, .... Are you allowed to moor anywhere on the channel, groomed or otherwise, and lastly ... Can you trim the grass when you choose a wild or overgrown site? Brent H.
@JulieandMartinonRIB
@JulieandMartinonRIB 20 күн бұрын
Hi Brent, 1. There are posts that say how long you can moor if restricted, but if there are no posts then you can moor for 14 days. 2. Yes, unless there are signs saying NO MOORING 3. Yes, CRT used to keep the verges clear, but have changed their policy in recent years, so we do it ourselves Hope this helps 😃 Thank you! xx

Is the canal system restricted to only England or does is extend into Scotland and Wales also.

Hi Bill, the canals of England and Wales are connected, in fact we spent the winter of 2022 on the Llangollen canal in north Wales, however, the Scottish canals are separate. They used to all be connected, but years ago when motorways arrived, they built one right through a canal, thus chopping it in two and separating England and Scotland. We could have our boat transported to the Scottish waterways if ever we got tired of England and Wales, but I shouldn’t see that happening for a loooong time! We could however hire a boat and go for a holiday on the Scottish canals, there are some stunning places there! Thanks Bill xx
