Q• Why do you speed up some of the footage in your videos?
A• We don't, we film it as time-lapse footage. We do not have the battery capacity or data storage to film in real time as our cruises can last up to 7 or 8 hours. We use to the time-lapse footage to help tell the story of movement rather than showcase the scenery. We limit the amount of time-lapse shots we use in each vlog.

Thank you for showing us some beautiful photos and video of York. It was all lovely, I would enjoy visiting that city from what I've seen today. Your views of the city really captured my imagination; the river cruise was wonderful as well. Again, thank you!

Chocolate shops in York? Oh my goodness! Could that be the home of the York Peppermint Patty? :D

Hah, no, sadly (as I quite miss York Peppermint Patties)... the English city has a long and proud history with chocolate (it’s where both KitKat bars and the Terry’s Chocolate Orange are from), but the Peppermint Pattie originated with the York Cone Company of York, Pennsylvania. So they’re indirectly named after the English city that got its name from the Vikings, but I haven’t seen them for sale here outside of specialty places that deal in American sweets. M

Not sure where to put this so I will put it here. We really appreciated your 101's on Viruses and Vlog editing. (We now use the free 'Shotcut' to edit our cruising vids for elderly family to view now too old for the cut.) 101 request. Would you consider a vlog on boat maneuvering please. We get the sense that you almost always go astern into a mooring place and that you seem particularly successful at going astern in general. Any hints and tips would be gratefully received.

@MinimalList 4 года назад

You’re absolutely welcome for the videos. The maneuvering video is a nice idea, however I’d feel a bit weird giving advice on reversing astern because your ability to do so well is REALLY dependent on your boat’s design. Ours has a particularly long swim at the stern, a bit of a mark of Liverpool Boats apparently, and the real secret of my ability to reverse so well, as all I really need to consider is the action of prop walk on my course... sadly the vast majority of narrowboats have a blunt stern or even a square stern, with virtually no swim below the waterline, so they’ll waddle all over the place and no tip I can provide would help. That said I’ll talk to Jo about the idea of a maneuvering video, though it would probably mainly end up being a plug for the courses offered by our friends at Willow Wren! M

@JISJ1964 3 года назад

There is that expression I stopped using after 9/11, "Next time", I never got to the 110:th floor of Twin Towers as I thought 12 Dollars was too much for another 8 floors after having come all the way to the very top of Empire State Building, I first visited NEW York in Novemeber 1999 and came back in February 2004 and then as we all know that sadly Twin Towers was history, with those words said I cross my fingers that you get back to "old" York and get to do River Fosse. I myself have decided to do all when being in a place the first time now not to stand there being baffled.

@MinimalList 3 года назад

My general plan as well... in the case of the Fosse, after walking the navigable length, I’m comfortable with missing out if it for some reason becomes permanently blocked. I mean it’s a different way to see the back of a Tesco, but it’s not precisely a top of the world sort of view. M

@@MinimalList it's changed so much in the years I've been living here, we had 2 off the world's best chocolate and mint factories, gone and what's left of the last one nothing in comparison, we had the carriageworks, gone, we had a huge glass factory, gone, seriously there's nothing left but shops! If you don't work in a shop or in the support services to shops, then there's very little left. Only non shop employments is the likes of being a plumber or an electrician. If you're "health challenged" there's very little opportunity for production work anymore.

@MinimalList 4 года назад

Yeah, sadly factory work is kind of gone everywhere, a long, long path towards the inevitable consequence of generations of governments focusing on short term solutions like lowering taxes instead of education spending. Couple that with completely underestimating China and India and the loss of those jobs actually should have looked like a foregone conclusion. That’s why I got into computer programming, it’s the last bastion of not-automatable. Yet. M

Both of you must be too young to remember it but I can remember waking up to the news that the York Minster roof was burning and even though I'm such a big old Atheist and don't care about the religious side of the minister, 36 years ago seeing those pictures made me cry like a baby.

Glad you enjoy them! And yes, I’ve no idea how Jo does it, and I watch her doing it! If it’s any consolation, they’ve done an excellent job restoring the Minster, and apparently fire cleanup has actually led to better preservation of some of the stained glass, as well as the organ (although that won’t be back in operation till next year)... rather like a forest fire, there’s new life after the old got burned away!

Fish heads, Fish heads, Rolypoly fish heads, fish heads fish heads eat them up YUM!" I'm sure that was from my misspent youth and Dr. Demento. Also, bonus TMBG. Thanks for sharing another video; loved the footage of the sections of city wall. For somewhat obvious reasons, we don't have anything like that in the midwest, so it's amazing to see the parapets, crenelations, and the corner towers just leading down to an active sidewalk. Can't wait until we can make it over again and head up to York. Passports made it here, so if we get a change of administration and some folks who'll support doing meaningful response to and eventual recovery from the Pandemic, maybe we can come sometime in 2021. So overdue already. Stay safe, enjoy the cruising, and hopefully George got some nice running once out of town and somewhere quieter.

@@MinimalList We'd planned to renew our passports in early spring, as they were coming due, then we delayed that a bit in the early days of our lockdowns, but once it became obvious this was not going to be handled in any rational way, we said "Hell with it" and got new pictures, filled out the paperwork, and sent it off, knowing that the passport offices had literally millions of passports backlogged, and of course the USPS is undergoing it's own attack from within, but eventually we got everything (passports, passport cards, and all of our original documents). No one will let us come there (sensibly, sadly, since they can't know if or how careful we're being personally and they have to look at the US numbers and shake their heads and say 'Sorry, but...') but hopefully there'll be some light at the end of this tunnel.

Question: In watching everyone's narrow boat videos I noticed that there are a lot of derelict boats. I know that some of them are "Hermit" boats but does the Canal and River Trust clean the abandoned boats from their canals? I know that it would be expensive to tow and impound a narrow boat but if they impounded them for a month and then sold them for 2000 pounds. Just a thought.

@MinimalList 4 года назад

They do remove boats that become an actual impediment to navigation (those that sink, for instance), but there’s quite a lot of complexity in seizing personal property, and a lot of expense in working it through the courts, so it’s really quite rare. M
