E3 || Getting our Boat Safety Scheme Certificate and Servicing the Engine!

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

Hi guys, halfway through your video, and when Jo you said you didn’t have the money to paint the boat. Thoughts came straight in my head. You’ve been on the canals a long time, loved by many. Start a go fund me page. Or crowd fund page. Whatever they are called over there. Worth a try. To paint the outside of your boat. ❤️❤️

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

crowd funding is the generic word

[@MinimalList]

Thank you. We will try and do a full tour at some point.

[@reneerobertlancaster8714]

Yes! I would contribute in a heartbeat! We owe Michael for giving us the great mooring space on the river Cam just next to The Bridge Pub at Clayhithe Bridge. ❤

[@MarcelEling]

Watching while waiting for the ferry over the Elbe😅

[@MinimalList]

oh wonderful, enjoy

[@tmack1]

I'm happy your back doing videos. I enjoy the banter between you two. Thank you!!

[@MinimalList]

Thank you.

[@lahendrix8]

I totally feel you. I so often feel like I have no idea what I’m doing or what is going on.

[@maggiekavanagh2801]

So glad you to are boating once again and vlogging as I'd forgotten how dry Michael's humour is (the drier the better). Can't wait for The Wash vlog, keeping everything crossed that you get good weather for it. In the meantime, stay safe, dry and happy ball throwing George!

[@MinimalList]

Oh yes, he is very dry, it is a bit of an acquired taste sometimes.

[@beverlyberesh8469]

Yay for Roberts head screws!

[@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living]

My god the boats tranformed

[@MinimalList]

Yeah, now we just need to work on the outside.

[@eugenefleming1614]

Good to see George and family ❤🙏

[@MinimalList]

Thank you Eugene

[@faced1964b]

Glad to see you guys back on the canals. Also love how Micheal is wearing shorts and a jumper.

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

@faced1964b Shorts probably more practical than long trousers

[@MinimalList]

Thank you. I always think that my arms feel the cold more than my legs.

[@johnfenton3699]

According to Tom Scott, the Live is brown because that's the colour your trousers turn if you accidentally touch it...

[@MinimalList]

Haha, thats one way of remembering.

[@jonpowell9011]

Another great video, I like the more 'personal' videos. I have learnt (from this video) that I could never live on a narrowboat, no way am I tidy enough. :-)

[@MinimalList]

Ha, we are not particularly tidy, but we are somewhat forced to be.

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video great to see preservance going on a long trip. Best of luck going on your trip . George is adorable!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@MinimalList]

Thank you. We've just come across The Wash and George had the time of his life on the sand bar.

[@grahambates1740]

Can't tell you how great it is to have you guys back on the water! It's brilliant 😊. Weird but I even remembered the sharp right turn in the canal from a previous video ages ago! Really enjoying the interaction between you both. Really enjoying your new videos.

[@MinimalList]

Thank you for such a warm welcome back.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Good to see you put video out video on channel and cranking it on cut thanks lee

[@MinimalList]

Thanks lee.

[@tonycamplin8607]

Glad that the boat passed her test, well done getting all the jobs done. A pity that that new box's lid didn't fit the old one, it would have saved a lot of work. Take a picture of the inside of that new box's lid to keep the part numbers for future reference. You were lucky to moor at Whittlesey it's often full and the same goes for Ferry Meadows, that's what it is known as locally. Was looking out for my old house as you went through Stanground. A pity that your videos are all published retrospectively as I'd have tried to see you being so close, within 4 miles of me. Very brave crossing the wash, good job that you got the engine serviced.

[@MinimalList]

We are only a week behind at the moment and i hope to keep it that way. A few years ago we were months and months behind. Yep it was good to get all the jobs ticked off however there is always something that needs doing on a boat.

[@tonycamplin8607]

@MinimalList A wonderful achievement, congratulations. I only commented because it would have been good to have actually seen you after all the messages that I've sent over the years.

[@lydiawearne2757]

Nice to see you guys are back on the move. Love your videos, laid back and ca ll m.

[@MinimalList]

Thank you. Im so glad you enjoy them.

[@mallockracer]

Hi Guys, nice to see you arrive at Wisbech, spotted you though my bow doors this morning...

[@MinimalList]

Sorry we didnt see you to wave. Now safely in Boston.

[@mallockracer]

@@MinimalList Good to hear Darrel got you across safely, did you stop and beach for a picnic on the banks?

[@susanmarker2164]

Great video!..the end was just beautiful. Great to hear Mikes "banter' it might sound scary but i understand it all!!!😲😅👌😍Hi George!

[@MinimalList]

Thank you. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video.

[@markross4730]

Michael going all Muppets lol. Can't wait to see you cross the wash again.

[@MinimalList]

lol. Just made it to Boston, video coming next week.

[@neildaly6787]

The Stanground Sluice looks big and scary. Can't wait to see you cross The Wash.

[@MinimalList]

It wasn’t too bad. And the lock keeper makes it very safe

[@lesleym6952]

Well done on all your hard work and getting through the BSS💪🏻 Lovely long vlog this week as well as all the real-time cruises on the other channel - it’s so good to have you 3 back ☺️ Have a wonderful weekend 🥰

[@MinimalList]

Thank you so much. We hope you have a great weekend too.

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

The head lamp is a good idea

[@MinimalList]

we couldnt be without it

[@davemccracken3457]

I find it interesting that you say Torx is more expensive in the UK. Here in the US Torx costs no more than other choices and is slowly becoming the standard choice for screws. I for one applaud this trend.

[@angelaaz6282]

Great job guys in readying the narrowboat for the BSS inspection and travel on the river!

[@MinimalList]

Thanks. There is always a list of jobs to get done isn't there

[@carlchapman1773]

Good drilling fella

[@jonpowell9011]

p.s. - love the inside of the boat

[@MinimalList]

Thank you.

[@beverlyberesh8469]

23:15...you almost had a new crew mwmber!

[@MinimalList]

Im not sure how George would have felt about that

[@kevinhammond9864]

The weather forecast is useless, apparently they can predict the future in 20 years but always wrong within 24 hours 😂😂😂

[@mrmocki]

At 41.56 in the video, there is a shot of a white Vauxhaul van and a stripped Autoholmes komet VW camper , where was this please ?

[@MinimalList]

Honestly we dont know, somewhere between March and Whittlesey but that isnt very helpful I'm afraid.

[@thecapturban]

We are very fluent in M😂

[@MinimalList]

I'm not so much!

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

can you download the label for the lid ? I suppose the link to download parts was at the bottom of the parts list on the underside of the missing lid 😊

[@MinimalList]

exactly

[@MarcelEling]

I can do some painting if you want

[@MinimalList]

That is so kind. It will probably have to be next year at this point.

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

👋👋🇺🇸🫡😎🍺

[@LeeEastwood-pu4jv]

Lol

[@MinimalList]

Not sure which bit made you lol but thanks

[@LeeEastwood-pu4jv]

@@MinimalList it just seemed a funny one with all the adventures going on 👍🏻only got through half so far

[@shanehumberstone5262]

DONT SWITCH THE ENGINE OFF 😂😂

[@MinimalList]

lesson learnt.

[@shanehumberstone5262]

It was funny in a not funny way,was it a fault or just being temperamental 😃
