THE ULTIMATE CANAL ADVENTURE BEGINS (full tour)

[@liamperry7095]

Now there's a collaboration I never thought I would see, you two never fail to surprise and delight. Welcome to England !

[@jelenekane1547]

YAY! You DID do the best canal! My hubby and I had a narrowboat for 5-years and loved it! We Yank's love all that history along England's canals! There is nothing as beautiful or fun as cruising through England's canals, pub hopping, checking out beautiful castles, (Think Chirk Castle!) and working those locks! It's simply the best! SO happy you two got to experience our favorite thing to do in the world!!!!

[@1Bamarider]

Had the opportunity to visit a friend in that area a few years back, and visited the viaduct and Chirk Castle. Enchanted area of the UK.

[@nemo6686]

Glad you enjoyed it, but credit to Wales, as that's where Llangollen and most of the canal is found. Castell Dinas Brân for instance, like a real-world fortress of Amon Sûl from Lord of the Rings...

[@teedub1990]

Cruising the Cut is the show that introduced me to sailing channels. It's a really fun channel given how low key it is. David has such a quintessential British presence and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to your time on the canals.

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I love Sunday with the Wynns. Thanks so much! Travel safely ❤️

[@mjordan812]

I'm an infrequent visitor to "Cruising the Cut", but I will be visiting soon to see his take. This has been on my bucket list for a few decades now.

[@davidoickle1778]

You won’t be disappointed. Great content on "Cruising the Cut?"

[@mjordan812]

@@davidoickle1778 I've yet to be disappointed by your channel - so my expectations are high. 😁

[@barryhome8910]

Fantastic!!!! Loved David's videos and am soooo looking forward to seeing the Wynns on the canal!!!!

[@rja12]

We've been watching narrowboat KZbin videos for years and it has been at the top of our bucket list for at least 6 years. So glad you two got to experience it.

THE ULTIMATE CROSS OVER EPISODE

[@MotownJT]

Me too

[@dr.susanchaudoir8576]

You’ve convinced me narrow boats are the best tiny house on the planet! Loved The tour can’t wait for the adventure!

[@Wintersbane08]

I started watching Cruising the Cut when the pandemic started. Binged it. loved it.

[@BohemianBeatster]

You just went over the top on Grooviness. The sailboat channel meets the Narrowboat channel, including David who first introduce me to narrowboating years ago. You couldn't have found a better narrowboat guide.

[@Chiromedicare]

What a wonderful treat to see both the Wynns and David in two videos on the same day.

[@Bender24k]

Unexpected & AWESOME! David from Cruising the Cut? Ideal guide.

[@CruisingTheCut]

😊

[@TWROC96]

How awesome that you connected with David, he really does great videos on the canals of Britain.

[@CruisingTheCut]

Thank you

[@Mark-ki7ic]

Been watching Earlewrites adventures on her narrow boat last few years and on S/V Delos before that. Nice to see y'all having a good time trying new things

[@jdlambert8]

I've watched CruisingTheCut for years. When I saw the opening scene, I thought, oh, now I'll get to see the canals in France, but this Wynn-David crossover is perfect!!

[@Bb14029]

Watched Travel Beans take a quick canal trip with their new baby. Can’t wait to watch your adventures! It looks like so much fun.

[@Centurion04]

I've been super interested in canal cruising after watching Nick and Terysa do the canals of France, so when I looked up canals around the world that one can cruise, discovering the history of Great Britain's canals was quite a fascinating and neat little rabbit hole to fall down. It made me hope that some of the sailing channels I am familiar with might someday do it... and so of course The Wynns were there to make that wish a reality! I look forward to seeing this entire little series!

[@supergran62]

I fell in love with narrowboats when we travelled to the UK in 2017. We started watching narrowboat KZbin channels after that, and found David’s channel. We’ve followed him ever since. I think because we followed him other live aboard boat channels were recommended to us, and that is how we found you. I’m so pleased to see you both catch up.

[@bc5299]

never seen David so happy. all smiles.

[@sSteppingStones]

yea its brilliant

[@lucabrasi5070]

You’d have thought it had a dishwasher, with that smile.

[@gardeninginthedesert]

It's true! So much more relaxed than when he's doing his own videos. 😊

[@MrJames_1]

I thought that too. Must have been nice for him to put down the camera for a bit and chat with others who understand the pressures of producing content.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Such a genuine fan-boy reaction. It was absolutely brilliant wasn’t it. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

[@MR1DFL1985]

I’ve moved to the uk from the us 10 years ago now. This is an amazing episode I’m so glad you captured this bit of British history. We have also been across the epic viaduct.

[@melissareid640]

So cool! always an adventure- Thanks guys.

[@timlundahl4571]

What a wonderful Sunday morning “double feature” with three of my longtime favorite KZbin creators! Thank you Nikki, Jason and David for all of your video travel adventures. ❤

[@jeromehebert3184]

I followed Foxes Afloat on their narrow boat journey; thought it was so cool and wondered why we in the states never embraced those boats here; Foxes Afloat always had combined their journey with history of what you were seeing. My advice is just embrace the boat and enjoy it.

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

New York has the Erie Canal and many people living on all kinds of boats including narrow boats that you can hire . In total the canal with all of it's side passages is over 500 miles long . You can travel from Buffalo to just north of Albany as well as access to Cayuga and Seneca Lakes .

[@kenmcclow8963]

We have a few canals, but most fell out of use fairly quickly because of trains being easier to to build and run. The Erie canal is drained each year for maintenance after boating season and reopens in the spring. The old Canals like the Erie, C&O, and I&M all make great Bike trails now and can be ridden in Illinois, Ohio, and Maryland and New York.

[@jeromehebert3184]

@@kenmcclow8963 south Louisiana is full of water and yet not a one here.

[@chrisheine1139]

Now this is so cool 😎 I can not wait to see more of this adventure ❤

[@davecisneros5285]

Living in landlocked Tennessee I don't do a lot of boating and only follow 2 boating channels, yours and David's! Been watching you since the RV and David about as long. What a wonderful surprise this adventure is!

[@Allen-by6ci]

That looks super fun. Nice job guys

[@mrtelechi]

Wow, this is brilliant. I am subscribed to both channels. I live in Birmingham in the midlands UK and we have more canals than anywhere else. It was superb to see you enjoying the exerience, (especially our wonderful weather 🤣 ) I can't wait to see you both sailing again though, it fuels my dreams. Thank you.

[@soloflight75]

I love canal trips. So beautiful. 🍿 time.

[@thechaplain9906]

We watched @sailingrubyrose transverse from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic using the canal system years ago which was very interesting. LOVE LUV how well you two have scrambled to provide great content, versus other sailing channels who are also waiting for delivery of their new Catamarans…

[@DanielDenoted]

He won’t ever admit it but he is king of the canals. Lol I wouldn’t even know the canals if it wasn’t for C.T.C.

[@cindyfleer2248]

Good morning Wynns! Hope you’re having a great day! 😊👍🌸

[@krisg3984]

You’ve opened my eyes to this easy going way of life in the UK. The sound of birds, cows and crickets and views from every window ❤

[@SuperEnthused]

Omg I love this collab!! Been loving cruising the cut for yeeeeears and as soon as you said narrow boat, I thought of him! How cool!!

[@chriswatson9818]

Awesome! I love when my some of my favorite youtubers get together! David is awesome and a few great channels as well.

[@CallieCatCuddles]

This is a complete surprise and an adventure I'd never contemplated, one also completely different from your land adventures and your famous ocean ones - like the thrillingly dangerous crossing where you lost your emergency life raft AND the whole compartment! I think this one is more my speed at the moment since I'm still recuperating from surgery and not back home yet. Yes, the slower and calmer pace of the canals is going to be a lovely adventure at this time.

[@yellownev]

Welcome to our canals, we have a 60 foot boat and have lived on it for 2 years.... it's a great way of life. I sincerely hope you make memories forever while in our country and enjoy the whole experience.

[@librab103]

Having David as your tour guide is like having Micheal Jordan be your personal coach for 10 days. Nobody else I would want to show me the ropes of the English canals than David.

[@seanjamescameron]

Congratulations on pronouncing Llangollen correctly. It’s very much appreciated for welsh viewers.

[@dianahampton8768]

Oh my Gosh, the variety of content that you guys have is just amazing. I was wondering what you were going to do while you are waiting for your boat but whether you are stuck in Fiji during Covid or just waiting for your boat, You two seem to make the best of every opportunity and it’s delightful to watch.

[@jaycroyle8761]

This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this. Talk about a relaxing adventure, I am sure I would love trying something like this. Thank you Niki and Jason!!

[@martinevans5587]

Yippee!! We're so excited to see you two on a narrowboat in Great Britain! How fun, sweet and totally British! Getting introduced to your experience by the King of the Canals himself must have been fun. From the canals, you will have so many wonders to appreciate! We're excited to watch your narrowboat adventure. Cheerio 🙂

[@gypsyroveradventures6133]

Love love this! I did the exact same trip years ago, and fell in love with narrow boating! Over the past few months I have started watching narrow boaters on youtube..brings back so many great memories!💕💕

If you are ever on the stroud/gloucester canal i would love to come say hi. Been watching your channel since you were RV’ing. Good luck!

[@RobertColvin-z8b]

Life is never dull with the Wynns. Thanks for sharing...

[@bishwatntl]

The Llangollen was the first canal I went narrowboating on. You did well to visit off season as it gets very busy in summer. That big viaduct with the very Welsh name is impressive at any time of the year.

[@williamrandall1415]

That is a bucket list item for me. Congratulations

[@Refaim08]

Fantastic! David is awesome. Very interesting to see y’all experiencing a very different boat life.

[@darlenarusso8235]

I am so excited to see your adventures on the narrow boat. Love England, especially the country side. Always wondered what the inside of the narrow boat looked like, and it does appear to be very spacious. Loving it so far!!

[@apolloj23]

This is so good! I am a proud gongoozler and seeing you both getting a chance to do something I dream to do some day with my family is quite a blessing for me. Being a subscriber to both channels it has been a joy to watch this amazing collaboration. Thank you all for bringing joy to the world.

Will David be returning the favor and visiting you on your new boat?

[@sdx773]

I’ve been living on a Narrowboat and watching your sailing adventures for five years now. I’ve been so looking forward to this video.

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

lol, you know what is going to happen, before they do it. This is going to be a great series. So excited.

[@MoonRadio1]

Glad you filmed this. Been waiting for you guys to try narrow boating. Way to go

[@realulli]

20:32 it's interesting with the time lapse. It really looks like you're moving around in the boat and the boat reacts to your weight (which it probably does, normally you just don't see it). :-)

[@RubyDoobieScoo]

You can take sailboats through the canals that cut through Scotland and that connects to Loch Ness. Probably not viable for a catamaran.

[@dryroasted5599]

Awesome! I've been watching David for years; he was the vlogger who introduced a lot of us to England's glorious canals. So glad you found him. Have a blast, and we can't wait to watch you cross the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

[@jillwase6116]

hey, welcome to the uk

[@maximumpat1]

My only holiday on a canal boat was on this canal to Llangollen when I was 11. I'm 62 now. It's still one of the best holidays I have ever had. So peaceful. We spent a night in Ellesemere as well! I remember the Pontcysyllte aqueduct very well. Looking over the side of that trough!!

nice! i cant wait to see the next video! i came from davids channel as ive been watching him for years now. really hope you enjoyed our canals and the uk in general. 🙂

Great to see you both still enjoying life while the New Cat is being built, even in the UK.... but French Polynesia and Pacific Ocean compared to the murky Canals and British weather.. I know where Id rather be.. 1.Anywhere else 2. The Exumas 3. Med Sailing 4.Caribbean 5. Save Thailand, Indo, Asia for the New Boat :) Glad you enjoyed it but I cant wait for you both to get back to some real sailing at Dream destinations around the World ;) "Curiosty2" couldnt come soon enough x

[@BrazenBrits]

I feel like we have come full circle with you guys. We first found you from your Composting toilet video (that we bought) a few years after we moved from the UK to the US and bought an RV. We now travel the US in our Grand Design RV. All our family is in the UK and some of friends back in the UK live on Canal boats. Thanks for taking us back to the UK for just a few minutes ❤. No way we’d move back, but it’s very nostalgic watching this. Thank you 🙏

[@koehl405]

Great way to start Sunday Morning again!

[@katewhite2465]

Narrowboating is greatest idea, yet, as you fill time awaiting your new hybrid cat. Looking forward to another great adventure with stellar scenery.

[@TwilightMysts]

I loved Cruising The Cut. I was sad when he got rid of his boat.

[@HippiePirates]

I’ve lived on a Bayfield40 ketch for about 3 years and have found this to be an interesting vacation experience. Looks fun for a couple of weeks.

[@petersimon2172]

Wow. After years of watching you are “just down the road” enjoy your time here in the UK.

[@jimporter]

To illustrate the speed of canal travel. When returning a 72’ boat a few years ago we were early back to the area of the marina and decided to go past and see what was on the other side (different canal). Well what we had been on was one of the more “modern” canals (for perspective still a couple of hundred of years old), where we were headed now was one of the oldest and instead of nice straight sections every twisted around the hills. Well we had a problem and couldn’t find anywhere to turn around and were panicking about returning the boat. Eventually after another hour or or so we found a winding big enough in which to turn and headed back to the marina arriving just inside our return window. Packing everything back in our car we left the car park and headed off only to pass about 90 seconds later the place where we had turned.

[@bennysh]

I've been eagerly anticipating this moment - having both of my favorite KZbinrs together in one place, doing something that I'm planning to do soon myself!

Nice trip. Boat is so well furnished and neat. Enjoy.

[@Bill23799]

I remember when reading one of my Hornblower novels where Captain Hornblower and his wife and child had to travel by Canal Boat to the port of a new ship he was posted to as Captain. Of course the canal boar had no engine and so was towed by a horse on a narrow shore path. They had to navigate through several tunnels so the Canal boat captain would lay on the roof of the boat and use his feet to push off against the ceiling of the tunnel to propel the boat. Of course Captain Hornblower offered his assistance.

[@marvinc9994]

There are _also_ around 2,500 miles of canal NOT connected to the 'network' the lady rightly mentions!

[@caseyleichter2309]

I've been curious about narrowboats and the canal life, and am very happy to be able to learn a little bit about it through your eyes.

[@zardozjones]

2700 miles of connected canals in the uk - at 4mph and 8 hours a day, it would take 84 days to travel it all.

[@realulli]

IMHO: a barge is being moved (towed or pushed). A narrowboat has an engine and moves under its own power.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝Fantastic. It’s gonna be so much fun. 🤩💝

[@pohanahawaii]

❤ how this hired long boat is so well kept and clean! Also, very cool tidbits on the real Alpine Swift 🕊 , and how to blend in as a local boater: Run out and yell "OY, SLOW DOWN!" as soon as you hear any boat coming, no matter their speed. 😹

[@rickstevens1479]

They drive on the left in the streets but to the right on a canal? .. oh well go figure. Looks like a great time... maneuvering the boat is a big part of the fun ...

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Finally the Narrowboat episode(s) is(are) here! I've been looking forward to this for a while. And the Wynns on a Narrowboat will be an interesting perspective. It looks like you did have quite some fun!

I can't believe you two are on a narrow boat in the UK, unbelievable! Enjoy!!!!

[@WOLFROY47]

the greatest aid, and i could say, essential thing, on a canal boat is, (a rayburn wood burning stove) it will heat your bathwater, as well optional. wait until the winter, and you will soon realize, what i mean

[@wallykramer7566]

I saw my first inkling of this type of travel a couple months ago on a KZbin channel. It has grown in my imagination as something to do eventually, Good to see you _are_ doing it. Way better feedback than a mass market review!
