So glad winter is over! I'll meet you guys at the next pub soon!

[@jaynecopland]

I haven’t checked in with you guys in quite a while. thanks for a lovely vlog and peaceful cruise!❤

[@jimm7165]

Yay! You're back! I was wondering where you guys had gone

[@BoatTime]

We really felt for you hunting for internet. It can be so hit and miss! Nothing more exciting than spotting a new animal on the canals! We’ve never seen a mink or owl, but did have an otter swim by once when we were super stressed 🥰

[@CruisingAlba]

I love seeing otters, they are also rare, we saw them twice. One of them used our paddle board as a table a few times and left us the remains of his dinner - crayfish claws 😂

To “Joe Makes,” since I’m in non- pud CA. I STOCK PILE my Guinness, Strong Bow, (my fav) Speckeld Hen 🥰 YOU, You lucky Joe, get the pleasure of meeting up with the beautiful Captain of ALBA. Any ways who does the editing of your videos.

Lovely vlog, thank you Marina, loved the news about the animal sightings. Maybe it was an otter not a mink. Take care and Happy Easter. xxxx

Lovely single handed trip. I remember when you started, I'll bet you couldn't have imagined doing a trip like that by yourself. Well done. Question: Have you (or Miles) ever slipped off the narrow boarding plank?

happy easter

Please report mink sightings to the Water Life Recovery Trust - as you mention, they are a non-native, invasive species.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thanks for the heads up, I reported it.

Hi Marina, Minks didn't escape they were set free by animal rights activists in the 70's who didn't think of the consequences, and now they are killing our native wildlife. They created a wildlife catastrophe. Great vlog as always :)

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Well said 👍🏼

[@assiebruins2545]

Otter.

[@CruisingAlba]

Nope it had a bushy tail like a mink
