In this vlog I take the narrowboat through Newark-on-Trent and head to Cromwell lock, where the river becomes tidal. That would be my end point for this session of cruising videos before I stopped for winter. More videos will be forthcoming nonetheless.

When leaves, twigs or other organic substances fall into water and begin decaying, they release compounds known as surfacants. This interaction breaks the surface tension, which in turn allows air to more easily mix with water and creates bubbles. These bubbles congregate as natural foam.

I look forward to more narrowboat videos in the spring, but in the meantime, I'm sure you have lots of ideas up your sleeve for the winter months including the fireside chats which have always been enlightening.

@tylerdurden7500 3 года назад

I remember Cromwell Lock very well. After being towed by a sand barge from Goole, The barge crew threw my stern rope at me and missed which landed in the water behind me. I was going at some speed into the lock wall. This was my second day at narrow-boating. I reversed and put all my stern rope through my propeller as I had no time to get it out the water. I still hit the wall, nearly throwing my crew off the front deck. I was like a dead duck, in the lock with the sun just gone down and it pitch black, in freezing January with snow on the roof, cutting my stern rope free of my prop with a bread knife. And I still love boating

Though I'm not certain if that's true. Anyway, your videos, cruising or not, are always quite entertaining. So feel free to take a much needed break from cruising. Besides you have to have already made well over 100 cruising videos. There's plenty of them for your viewers to revisit ⛵. Sorry I know yours isn't a sailboat but that's the closest emoji my phone has to a narrow boat. Be well & stay safe.
