My daughter’s husband’s grandfather’s firm built that bridge. Something special to give us a shiver of pride every now and again.

[@rikkiharcourt3868]

Really, really enjoyable. My whole childhood memories revisited. A huge thank you.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Our pleasure!

[@philiphollowday6741]

Excellent, well done, quite an experience. Something we never quite managed when we had the boat, though have travelled the Thames several times in an old sailing barge

[@bruceshaw2402]

Thats a memory for the children that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives and for you and Nicky of course . As the song says " some days are diamonds " .

[@daveraver9495]

What an amazing experience! Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed yesterdays and todays vlogs 😎👌🏻 Making memories as a family on the water, how lovely!! Safe travels and please continue to share your adventures. 😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-lj2zu8su5h]

Wow ! What an amazing trip you all had , you looked so little on the mighty Thames . Thank you so much for sharing, just brilliant ❤

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@susanmarker2164]

Wow what a very long day..So relieved your safe I might have had problems falling asleep after all that excitment and stress....Glad you had a nice time on the Thames...Glad your all safe.....🤓

[@annkauffold7049]

Fantastic! My daugher and I did a tour on the Thames 10 years ago and this brought back happy memories. It was great to see all of you enjoying your adventure.

[@deballen6147]

Amazing great vlog. Our capital city has the best architecture in the world so much history.. Thankyou for sharing. You all looked so happy and overwhelmed, what an experience for team chuggs ❤

[@kath804]

Oh my heart! You guys had me crying watching this fabulous vlog. It is very lovely seeing you enjoy this experience so much together. The love between you all is very touching to see x

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Memories that will always be with us... so pleased you enjoyed it

[@aBoatTime-uw9br]

An amazing day gang. Thanks for taking us with you on chugs. We loved it. X

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thanks for coming

[@Acapulc941]

Wow! That was exhilerating. So glad that the children seemed to enjoy seeing the capital, too. The pups all looked adorable in their tiny life jackets. I have to say that I seldom like pics of myself, but one of my favorite pics of myself ever, is from January 2018. I came to London from Texas to celebrate my birthday with a friend (by seeing Hamilton). My friend snapped a pic of me drinking coffee on the banks of the Thames, just peering out and imagining some of the history which had played out on that mighty river. I used to do much the same with the Hudson River, as I grew up in New York. I love history and I love a majestic river. And now I will return to preparations here in Houston for a reinvigorating hurricane Beryl to come ashore somewhere near us, probably tomorrow night. See you soon. Leigh

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I'm so pleased we brought back happy memories for you, perhaps one day you could return. Stay safe through the hurricane, I know there's a few about

[@susanmarker2164]

Bravo Bravo! Gosh my heart was pounding coming out of that lock! 🙏 😲Its ok now...Lovely vlog!!.Quite exciting!!!! Bravo Lilly and Noah!...Gary and Nicky!!! 🤓

[@jackiehanning8808]

Brilliant !

[@fredboulton4080]

Hi Gary. Just finished watching todays vlog. So happy for you, Nicky and the kids that you had a fantastic trip on the Thames. You certainly were blessed with the weather. My wife and I hire canal boats and have travelled a lot of the network but I've always been reluctant to try navigating the Thames. Its always seemed overwhelming and a bit scary to be honest but after watching your trip its inspired me to have a go! Thanks for all your hard work editing these videos for us to enjoy. Looking forward to your next vlog. Best wishes. Fred

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I'm so pleased we've inspired you to do the same trip, I can guarantee that you will love it !

[@suesmith3417]

truly fantastic seeing it from the Thames like that whole different perspective and quite daunting on your narrow boat. thanks for sharing it with us .

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nicholassummerfield1295]

Loverly Video Gary and Nicky great to see chugabug on the river Thames and you sail past HMS Belfast.

[@A-Nobody]

Team Chugs adventures hit new highs with this one. After exiting Tower Bridge - Gary, your face said it all. Cinematic, almost. Well done to you all.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thank you, it was a relief when the waters calmed down

[@billyshears5257]

Amazing!

[@jennysbeldon1609]

Thanks Gary NICKI NOAH and lily. That was an awsomme vlog. Well done. So much so it's wetted our appetite to do the Thames. Thank you do much . So much to see. MICHAEl and JENNYxx😊😊😊😊

[@jacquelineryde7339]

Oh my word what an amazing vlog, we are so excited to do this. Such fantastic footage and it was wonderful to see what it meant to all of you. I lived not far from Battersea power station for years when working in London, how wonderful to see it from the water side 😊.. Super to see Saint Piran’s flag, as you know Cornwall has our heart, Nicky is an example of how special the Cornish people are 😊 We are so pleased for you and super to see the excitement on Lilly and Noah’s faces bless them. Just wonderful, lots of love, Jacqueline, Mark and woof from Thelma ❤❤❤

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Such kind words thank you very much. We both feel very proud of ourselves hehe but it's a trip we feel everyone should do at least once. Hope your boating is all going to plan too, its a wonderful life xx

[@christinedennehy9426]

Great 👍

[@bethlowell7336]

What a wonderful experience. Your video with the music was so relaxing. Glad to see Silver Fox. I remember watching Colin and Shaun when they cruised the Thames. Stay safe, happy cruising. Cheer. 😎

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrispassmore4461]

Fantastic vlog. Awesome. I felt the emotion. Wow. We’ll be taking Our narrowboat forget me not through that part of London. Brilliant.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

You really must do it

[@richardholmwood1468]

Amazing say's it all an the smiles on your face's. Well done

[@philipsparrow7977]

Wow that was absolutely epic. Made me feel a little emotional, particularly as you were approaching Tower Bridge and the group photo. We need more people like you guys in this world, it would certainly be a better place. This was one of the best videos I've seen on KZbin for a while, thanks for bringing us with you on what has been an amazing adventure ❤

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Those are such kind words Philip thank you so very much. It's truly a pleasure to share it with you and we are so pleased you enjoyed it

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

[@BoatTime]

An amazing trip!! Well done 👏🏻 😊 so glad you enjoyed

[@diannejohnson3089]

That was absolutely amazing to watch. So glad it all went so well. You have made such lovely memories for your beautiful family to last a lifetime. . We have said we would love to do that trip, but we have a widebeam and we never see any do it.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Widebeams certainly do it, infact you'll probably be more stable than we were lol... its an amazing trip and we loved it

[@tilneyjon13]

great video..

[@paulplant6486]

A fantastic cruise and some iconic buildings

[@ramseybarber8312]

Hi Gary and Nicky and Kids I worked on the River Thames on the tugs and travelled up and down and enjoyed the vista every day it is all good in the summer BUT in the Winter it can be Horrible ice on the decks, Ropes frozen ,Chill wind all day , BUT I LOVED IT . Cheers

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Winter can be horrid on the waterways, even on the canals it can be so dangerous... I bet you had a ball matey

[@Kat69nh]

GG says woof to Noah,Lily and the SIX puppies

[@Kat69nh]

P.S. thanks for all the information about London.

[@pamradbourne922]

Wow all that wide open water that must be a different feeling from the canal that must have been pretty amazing😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It was!

[@christinemaker5656]

Absolutely brilliant! Enjoyed very much 🥰😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

Wow very exciting for you all. Would love to do this. In my dreams. Have fun. 🤩 ❤

[@ScholarGypsyOx]

Thank you for this very fine record of the day. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry about the mooring issues at Teddington - I knew it would be a little chaotic, but there wasn't a lot we could do about that beforehand, and the arrival time is determined by the tides .... Simon Judge SPCC.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We truly are greatful for your help and the hole day was amazing. No worries about the mooring we fully understand and thanks again for making special memories

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Omg that was magnificent. I can’t imagine how awesome that must be to do. Tempted to do it the other direction now ? Love London and what an awesome way to see it. Thank u so much for sharing this trip. I’m an emotional wreck just watching it …… twice so far lol. Every best wish. 🎉

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It was so nice to have you along matey, it was a mind blowing trip for us all

[@originalpickaxe]

Yep welcome to The upper Thames Gary , grumpy bugger unhelpful lock keepers are pretty standard and some of their volunteers too , which is why between my stomping ground Maidenhead to Henley I travel through locks out of hours where possible. The Grey Goose👍😁

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Look out for us matey, we should be leaving Marlow early this morning

[@NeverTwoLateOurJourney]

Oh wow, that looked amazing. Steve definitely wants to do this. Hopefully in a couple of years. 😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

You've just got to do it.... mind blowing xx

[@carolinegorner1399]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@DreamyDrifter...and_away...]

Absolutely loving your Thames travels. So exciting. Not sure I'd do it, you're all very brave! Not many people get to see the views you've had! Wonderful! Just to note, I think where you've put OXO tower, that might be the Tate Modern, the OXO tower is just after the 'oriental' wotsits, not that it really matters. XXX

[@philipizzard2584]

Would love to do this trip looks fabulous but scary 😅well done glad you took us along 😊ps that’s the second time silver fox has been on the Thames ❤

[@stephengardiner9867]

At 19:52... the old Battersea Power Station. I first saw that "picturesque pile" in an episode of Dr. Who (probably in 1963 or 1964!). First time I ever saw the Daleks as well (in black and white...)! I am currently building a 1/350 scale model of HMS Belfast. Looks like everyone survived the "choppiness". Never suffered from motion sickness myself but my late elder brother would have been queasy just watching the video!

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

My son-in-law would of hated it as he suffers terribly but we were all fine. It feels very un nerving at first but you soon get into it

[@stuartkiy3170]

In all the excitement you showed the Tate Modern as the oxo tower. The oxo tower was a little further up. Still doesn't spoil the excitement of the day of the day

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It was definitely the OXO tower bud, it says OXO on the tpwer

[@stuartkiy3170]

@GaryCaptainPhillips I agree ,the oxo tower has oxo written on it but at 13.09 that was the tate modern which also has tate modern on it if you look at the top corners of the building.❤️

[@stephenscholes1007]

I met you at Crick and told you that it was very bumpy, now you know. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Yes it was!

[@bowmurbandit]

Not gonna fib Gaz. But watching that video made the ole butt twitch. Great vlog guys. So pleased your living the dream. x

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It made ours twitch a little too hehe

[@ejm727]

Congratations

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thank you

[@edwardhoughton2565]

Something special Xx

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

and how many of those people on the bridge were subscribers that knew you might be passing under the bridge today and made their way to see you go by? Perhaps some of them might have let you know by now .

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

I wrote my comment before I reached the point where you gave the shout out to Ian.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

It would be nice to think so matey

[@maviscarless4304]

what a way to spend Sunday afternoon with you , its been great to watch , been excited for you all , so happy you did it chugs stretched to the limit I would think , thank you so much giving us pleasure. how long were you on the Thames ? xxxxx😵🙃😊😎😲

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We're still actually on the Thames until we reach the Oxford canal. Chugs was certainly on the limit, narrowboats simply aren't made for waters like that

[@normanshute7162]

Not sure what the name of the power plant that you passed that was on the Pink Floyd album cover but that was a treat.😊

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Its called Battersea Power Station
