Thank you. Leon has picked a great river and time of year for his first boat. I remember going onto the river Thames for the first time and being nervous. He's fine. Ha ha 😂

Yep, life is life. It's not unfair and it's not fair, it's just what it is. We can't always control what happens to us, all we can really control is how we react to it. Thanks for another one Mr. Will. Take care. 👍👍

Tinkering is a very pleasurable pastime, except when you HAVE TO. It ceases to be pleasurable when you are dead in the water, or broken down on the side of the road, but those are the moments in life that you always remember. Get those filthy thumbs in there and take care of business. 😊

Just don't think about it lol life's too short. I'm really pleased that Leon has got himself gloating is he using it as full time boating or just part time? Will he go along the blogging like his dad? All the best kev

@@NarrowboatWill Keep an eye out Will. I waited for the sale price. They knocked a couple of hundred quid off. I only paid £399 for the Bluetti with the solar panels. You can get the Bluetti for £199 in the sale without the panels and charge it with 12 v or 24v 👍🏼

Morning Will. Plenty of variety in this vlog. Hope the van is sorted without breaking the bank! The modern world doesn't like diesels but I do. Older ones without the massively expensive emissions control equipment. I have a 1996 VW Vento TDI on 315,000 miles. Love it. Owned since it was 8 months old. Glad to see Leon"s new boat. Love the upper Thames, so wild. I recognised that long line of tall trees as you approach St Johns lock. First saw it in 1974. So long ago. On edge of seat for next episode. All the best to you and newly appointed Captain Leon.👍👍

Hello Paul. Good for you for looking after your vw. I'm hoping my van lasts that long. Leon's stuck at the moment. I'm trying to help him over the phone. It's a great time to be on the Thames Paul. Take care buddy. 👍
