Im just getting an early comment in, I hope you are planning another Christmas Day vlog this year, what you’re cooking, what you’re drinking, what movies are getting pulled out to watch. Loved last year’s Christmas Day vlog. Awesome!!!!

Those are great biscuits but relatively hard to find. I think Asda do them but the pack I had I believe I got in a small shop somewhere.

Another great vlog!!! Some people do not realise what us boaters have to put up with, i must say "touch wood" i have never caught a towel before but i have had the misfortune of stopping at that extremely slow water hole, only once though. There was a time when you could take your rubbish and use the marina bins but not any more. Take care and stay safe.
@ProjectNarrowboat3 жыл бұрын
Hi Geoffrey, I do try to show the bad as well as the good. That watering hole only surpassed by one I used on the Lea a few years ago. I keep hearing "used to" etc as far as facilities go - crt seem to have cut back in a number of places over recent years.

Hi Johny. There are bins at Milton Keynes Marina, but they are round the side and close to the road. The staff are friendly in the Marina and will help you to find them.

That big wall of poplars along the canal must shield you from the wind a bit. The towel I know, but what the heck is a coogool? Always a nice time with you Johnny, many thanks, take care.

Enjoyed the relaxing cruise JL, once you get past all the concrete jungle, and into some countryside it's really chilled out, glad you got the prop sorted without damage. Look forward to the next video, stay safe and well 🚢🚢🚢
@ProjectNarrowboat3 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, yes it didn't take long to get into the greenery, and it is generally a very pleasant stretch of canal. Hopefully that's it with the prop for a while!

Strangely, the towel seemed undamaged, not shredded or anything. I guess it blew into the cut on a windy day.

Hi Johny, glad you sorted your prop out and got traction again. Did you stop just before the lock at Fenny? There is a pub right on top of the lock. Or will we see the said lock in your next brilliant Vlog. Take care.
@ProjectNarrowboat3 жыл бұрын
I stopped about 500 yards further back, so that lock will feature in the next cruise.

I am curious as to why you put that giant towel on the towpath at all? It seemed huge and I'm glad you were able to get it off of the propeller.
@ProjectNarrowboat3 жыл бұрын
Where else would I put it? After the worst of the water had soaked away, it went into my already bulging bin bags.

Don't you ever try a bit of reverse thrust before having the weed hatch up. Thought at one point you were gonna pull the kitchen sink out. Peartree is the slowest on the network. Better service a Fenny

Yes I do on occasion, but a lot of the stuff I've removed over the years has been pretty well wrapped on.

Hi Johnny, as weed hatches go,yours isn’t too bad. Some look like you have to climb down into the engine area. As always enjoyed the cruise thank you.
@ProjectNarrowboat3 жыл бұрын
Yes it could be worse, obviously the hatch has to be where the prop is, but luckily I have a small piece of deck board that I can take up without getting the whole engine bay opened up.
