[@wayneharris7534]

Will. There is nothing I can say about your videos that has not been said before other than thank you for taking the time to upload them. And shearing them with people like myself.. I don't know if you know this but amongst the boating community . You are a bit of a legend .. many people have said that you are always willing to help others .. I see that Leon is with you .which is nice to see... Where ever you travel on the canals the older boaters will always welcome you .and Leon. They now regard you both as one of Thier own.... these people were born on the canals or of spent most of Thier lives living on the canals.. people who are new to the canals say that the older boaters are a ignorant. lot because they never get into conversation with them..??? Perhaps they should realise that the reason they do this is because they like their privacy. And peace and quiet .. for many this is the reason why they decided to live on the canals.. Anyway will it's a massive thumbs up from this very old narrow boater ..👍👍👍....you and your family members .will always be welcomed no matter where you are on the canals system.. So stay safe and well mate .and keep smiling will ..

Thank you so much again Wayne. Funny you mentioned about helping other. I've just picked up some diesel for my neighbours and helped them through the lock. What goes around, comes around Wayne. Take very good care and have a great day. 🫵👍👌💯

I love it. The birds and the early mornings. That amazing sunsets. Great canal. Thanks 👍

[@philodowd8080]

My heart needed that sunset.and music will watch the rest in the morning

[@NarrowboatWill]

It was pretty special Phil.

[@paulwhite2023]

Morning Will. Those sunsets-out of this world plus your music. Intense! Cruising along about fifty feet above sea level, like floating on a mirror of the sky at times. Colour balance on the camera is great with concentrated colours that really suit the landscape. In '74 we hired a broads cruiser like that one on the Thames from Eynsham near the toll bridge. Finally, to best the word "wow", try wowsers.😂😂😂. All the best. Paul.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Unfortunately, my vocabulary is limited to council estate upbringing. 🤣🤣 Which I'm proud of. Wowser. Is a good word. You take care Mr White.

[@MelG-ut3hs]

I think this canal is one of the most stunning places you've been to. This and when you went to the river Nene and around Cambridgeshire are definitely my favourites.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I agree. This canal is amazing so far. Thanks for watching..

[@paulwhite2023]

I agree!👍

[@lorithorpe3502]

Wow , what a beautiful sunset , you could almost feel the heat from it , you were right about that big boat being a broads boat , it was an ex richos boat , it had even still got the letter R on the front lol, that would've been the first thing i'd have gotten rid of if i'd of bought it , i saw a boat at torksey near lincoln on the river , & that had also still got the R on it lol .

I've have a bike as well. We have a group of riders, who all ride the same bike mostly (Yamaha Raider), that get together every year in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. The riding and the scenery is absolutely stunning. There's a group from the UK who ship their bikes over here every few years to join in. The UK group usually makes a trip out of it and spends a week or two after our get together riding to different parts of the US. Not sure why I'm telling you about this but, it is a comment for you and every little bit helps...lol. Thanks for another one. Take care.

[@NarrowboatWill]

That trip sounds bloody amazing. I bet it's not cheap shipping a bike over but a trip of a lifetime, I guess. I love bikes. Thanks for joining me on my little slow boat trip. 🤣🫵👍👍

Navigation? The Lune has at least two weirs, one of then described as very dangerous for canoeists. I believe only the experienced, skilful and slightly mad attempt it, but other parts of the river are safe for canoes and are used by rowing clubs.
