My good friend Lorna of ‪@lornajaneadventures‬ has just bought a brand new narrowboat and she kindly invited me to join her on a trip along the Market Harborough canal arm.

I’ll never invite anyone else aboard. I’ve already peaked with you 💖

@thatsme2182 Месяц назад

It is so cool to see you out there living your best life. Love the pink, it definitely makes a statement. Why have a boat that blends in with the others?

@2760ade Месяц назад

I love your little boat! I adore pink also, though I am male and it is apparently not allowed! Great to see you with your RU-vid hubby!

I'm pretty sure I know more about narrowboats, canals, locks, raising bridges, various engines, clearing props, building canals, hauling coal and fuel, and steel boat maintenance than any other fellow in Round Rock, Texas. Thanks.

@rosssharp9988 Месяц назад

Ah! At last, the sound of 'PARP!' is heard, once more, on the canal system! I have really missed your cheese sandwiches, David. Congratulations to Lorna and her delightful pink creation. Thank you for a lovely outing, both of you!

@@CruisingTheCut Nice boat and brand new! Question, what could you do to quite down the powerplant a little? Is it the motor mounts, engine box, muffler system, or the design? Thanks, asking for a friend.

This was a fun change to watch. I wish our canal along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, USA, was dredged to accommodate long boats. What a pretty little boat Lorna has.

@edsageseamaster3440 Месяц назад

So nice to see you both again on the water. Lorna, what a great looking boat you’ve got. You seem really pleased with it. So happy for you! Another great video David, thank you for sharing this trip with us all.

@MattiusHawkEye Месяц назад

Even though I'm 6'3, and built like the proverbial brick outhouse, this is the sort of narrowboat I'd have, if funds allowed - a dinky little thing, 20, 25ft long, just something to exist in as you potter about on the canals. Lovely stuff.

@judithmatthews8460 Месяц назад

A real treat to wake up to Cruising the cut. I thought I’ll save it to watch later. But I didn’t, I wanted to know who had the pink boat!! Lorna of course.💕. Beautiful boat, good friends, lovely scenery cheese sandwiches and cups of tea what bliss!!

@dannettepeters1507 Месяц назад

@stilcrazychris 14 дней назад

She's got herself a cute little pink boat there. I loved her decore of the pink flamingos too. She's made it her own & all & I think it brings out her fun side of things. You do you girl. One fantastic little boat & people can't get it mixed up when you give someone directions to get to your boat either. You tell them that your in their area & tell them to take the foot path by the train station, just a metaphor, & your the pink boat on the right... lol... Such a fun little boat. Would love to have one too. So happy for you. May you enjoy every bit of your little boat.

Could not imagine a more perfect boat for your canal adventures. Hope you get the weed hatch and propellor problems fixed so you can go back out and cruise.

Dare I anticipate too a line of yellow plastic ducks illuminating your saloon? You'd have to really to maintain the theme, probably, I expect, no doubt.

@kevinsanders200 Месяц назад

I'm sure someone else has probably already solved the stuck weed hatch. New paint. Even though the paint was likely dry when the hatch was closed, it wasn't really cured. It happens all the time. A thin putty knife usually works.

@t1n4444 29 дней назад

Yes, but there is a rubber gasket seal between the "weed hatch well" and the cover. The gasket, usually, is fixed to the lip of the well with a waterproof adhesive directly to the metal. The cover is then closed and is clamped in place. If the newly painted underside of the cover is stuck to the rubber so it couldn't be easily removed is probably best left to the boatyard. And if that didn't work then again it might be a stuck baffle plate set into the uxter plate. And that is definitely a boat out of the water job.

I would love to see a tour of one of those Springer narrowboats. The internet says the smallest model was the 20' (23'?) "Water Bug". Adorable. The brochure says it slept 4 and had an outboard! That's very interesting. Looks absolutely ideal for a small family boat.

@gray5627 22 дня назад

Lovely little narrowboat! I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your video a month or two ago; the SlowTV one. I have always wanted to see how the locks worked, but most folks cut that part out of their vidos, showing moving the gates perhaps, but never the whole process. I have never seen locks here in the US, though I know a few places have them, but i am fascinated by the narrowboats, and like the videos. By the bye, I purchased your book so I could read up on more narrowboating stuff! Thank you very much for sharing. :-)

Hello David, funny at the end you said it sounded like a Citroën 2cv. I was thinking all along that it sounded like our new French Moulinex food mixer . Coincidence especially as we live in France too. Oh it's 35°C today here in Lyon. We did well to get an air conditioner by golly!
