Project Narrowboat ep 91 - Wendover Arm to Cow Roast

[@garyheap3780]

Best example of "proper" winding I've seen. Thanks Johnny👍

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Gary what can I say - the wind became favourable at just the right moment!

[@penneynoss9552]

Hi Johnny, this was a nice surprise. Lovely cruise. Looking forward to the next visit 😊

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Penney. I enjoyed making this video (aside from the pc creaking and groaning!) not only is the Wendover arm quite interesting but I really like that deep cut that runs to Cow Roast - quite magical.

[@carolinefiler5506]

Was so lovely to see this vlog. Beautiful scenery. Hope all is going well for you.

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hopefully one day it will be possible to get all the way to Wendover, but in any case I really like that deep cut that leads to Cow Roast. All ok, thanks.

[@LloydHywelBevan]

exemplary winding Johny - fabulous as ever !

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Lloyd, the wind was a bit all over the place but when that sun came out it settled into a favourable direction so all I had to do was wait! Good timing for once :)

[@chriscj8106]

Great seeing you out and about JL, nice cruise, hope your settling into land life ok, take care of yourself 🚢🚢🚢

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Chris, yes settling in ok but very busy, hopefully the dust will settle soon. Lots to sort out.

[@whiskymacable]

Nice little trip that Johnny thanks for taking us along!

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Vic, you are very welcome.

Enjoyed watching, just been on a friends canal boat Olive on the chesterfield canal, loved every minute of it I am know a water Gypsy, a boat is on my Bucket list,

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Penelope, sounds like you've got the bug! It's quite a big step moving onto the water, so good luck if you decide to.

[@jennerutland294]

Another great video from you 😁

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Thank you Jenne.

[@phillipbateman2284]

Thanks Johny, you've got all the skills and nous for this, a narrow, twisty, shallow canal full of branches wont hold you back. From the winding point to Roast Cow, sorry, Cow Roast, I was smiling. Fried egg on toast for breakfast didn't please my imagination. Not much wood on the roof anymore, tells a story. Whatever trip you take us on will be right up my street mate. Thanks, and take care.

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hey Phillip, par the the course a few obstacles :) I'd really like to go back and do that arm when it eventually gets all the way to Wendover, maybe something for the future.

[@phillipbateman2284]

@@ProjectNarrowboat I'd really like to join you on that cruise Johny, when the stars are aligned and I've witnessed your house reno's. I'll be ready. Take care mate.

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Welcome, James.

Dear Johnny, it's a wonderful treat to see your beautuful face today. How are you doing in your new land based life? Are you happy? Leigh, Texas

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Leigh, you are too kind. I'm okay back ashore, still getting straight so time will tell. It all happened very suddenly (the boat selling so quickly) so it's still all sinking in I guess.

[@lynettecoates4272]

Thanks for showing this lovely arm...we did this too..now at Cowroast, sadly having to sell my boat due to hubby not adapting to canal boat life....:( Hoping you are keeping well off the cut... will keep watching any vlog u put up!! Xx

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hey Lynette, maybe Cow Roast is where all the good narrowboats go to be sold! Actually I made it down just a little further so a couple more cruises to go yet. Yes, it's not a life for everyone. A lot of new people getting into it right now, I guess post pandemic life changes etc, see how many of them stick at it...

[@caroleketelsen5445]

I wondered if you ever fished in the canals and if the fish are edible? I enjoyed this volg and look forward to them every week

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Carole. Well, there are certainly plenty who do fish the canals, they are quite pollution free these days so I guess the fish are edible if you catch the right kind. But I'm not sure if the rules demand that you throw them back or what. I released mine :)

[@christinemurray9407]

Sweet memories

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

Hi Christine, I guess you have done that stretch? I really like it around there, Tring etc.

[@crossercuss1]

really hope your doing ok and your not missing canal life to much...

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

So far just sorting stuff out and getting to grips with things, so I guess time will tell. Okay so far.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I've left chains and spikes so many times. Hope you're well me old fruit.

[@ProjectNarrowboat]

He Will, I never used to but recently I have to really check, must be getting old. Nothing worse than getting to the other end and nothing to moor with! Glad it's not just me...
