I was walking that stretch today. The flow was much stronger than usual.

The Thames in winter is a definite no no for me. Our widebeam was bashed from pillar to post last winter on our base mooring which was quite scary and felt unsafe. Couldn't wait to get off it but stuck on reds until May this year. Now thankfully safely tucked up on the GU. Be careful please and take great care.

Aww thank you, we feel pretty safe but can never be too careful looks like the red boards are going to be a very long stretch this year! 🙈

Beeeeep that for a game of buy a boat they said it’ll be fun they said 😂 stay on a river mooring over winter. Nah 😂 diesel’s not too bad I have 4 Jerry cans that’s for the rads. but I’d dread maintaining water onboard. Power? Plugged in? Engine or generator? Run Forest run. Marina life for me. Going to be interesting keep the cameras rolling.

Hello you 3 🙂 Question - when you talk about the river’s flow being 160 then down to 140, what unit of measurement is that please? Thanks keep warm and take care. Secret Squirrel 🐿️ (My cameo at 9:31)

Yes your cameo 🤣 the unit is metres cubed per second, we estimate around 4/5 miles an hour can’t keep up at walking speed! 🙈

Proper Planning & Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance - good luck on the mighty Thames - may your lines holdfast and your fenders do their job (and don’t fall in getting on and off!!!!!) And if your water runs out drink beer……cheers from downunder.

Are you permanently moored? Soo obviously being a wide beam, you can't be continuous cruisers...

You’re my favorite canal podcast! Your nose diamond needs to go bye-bye. It looks like a pimple on my 65HDtv. Very unbecoming of a senior lady. It takes away from your charm. 😂😁
