Hi Guys
Welcome to our latest episode in our WATERWAYS ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.
In this episode we talk about the one piece of kit in our LIVE ABOARD LIFESTYLE that is a MARRIAGE SAVER and that we wouldn’t be without. However the Captain then makes a school boy error, will he recover from it??? We watch a boat struggling to 'wind' will he make it. We have a cruise along the TRENT & MERSEY CANAL seeing beautiful bridges and the cutest of small NARROWBOATS. We find a stunning mooring and Michael decides it time to do a little MAINTENANCE on the engine, an important aspect of looking after BORDER REIVER.
We hope you enjoy a look at our ADVENTURING LIFESTYLE xx

Good video on the universal cruising couple issue. I can't tell you haw many times it's been: Me on the bow, engine running: (say something) Wife on the stern on the helm: (whaaaatttt?) Me: (Shout something) Wife: (Don't shout at me) hahaha

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! Hmm that happens all the time, even when we are inside the boat. Glad to hear it's not just us. x

So cute. Love the comments Annette thank you 🙏

@desmondsouthwell3529 10 месяцев назад

I don't care what I'm intending to do on the computer, as soon as I see your next episode is there, everything else is forgotten. Such a perfectly natural couple, it's a pleasure to ride along with you, and it's always interesting, as well as relaxing, makes me wish I was enjoying narrow boating, still. But age forbids it, so it is great to join you every week from the comfort of my armchair. Thank you.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Desmond, wow what a lovely lovely comment you are so kind. It's a pleasure to be able to bring our travels into your home each week. We've a little mid week bonus episode coming this Wednesday, hope you enjoy it. Take care. Jackie & Michael x

Beautiful sunset. Add ice to a highball glass, 25ml of your favorite gin, 25ml of lemon juice and add white soda. Tom Collins!

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Sounds great! Yummy.... will try x

That is indeed a life saver as sjoe racing up n down ain't good your a very fit lady one needs to be

@cruisingontheborder 2 месяца назад

Yes I love it and it does keep me physically and mentally fit 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

@patmancrowley8509 10 месяцев назад

You could always get a set of hand-flags. Use semaphore. Michael was in the Royal Navy so he may be familiar with semaphore. Works well in any weather but fog.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

I'll get him to teach me... let's hope it's not a foggy day when we try it. Ha ha

@brianstewart3457 10 месяцев назад

Another good vlog by you two. Maybe think about reversing the fridge door to make access easier from inside the boat. +1 with the walkie talkies, we use them too, was invaluable on the Llangollen canal with long narrow sections.❤

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Brian thanks 🙏 for taking the time to comment we love reading them all. Sadly we can’t change the fridge door around as the step would be in the way. Michael leaves it to me to pack and unpack the fridge as I always manage to fit so much in them very small space 😂😂. Ah yes we remember the Llangollen there were so many narrow sections a bit like the K&A. 💕

@sharoncampbell206 4 месяца назад

Should have had walkie talkies when my kids were little. It would have avoided, "WHY are you yelling at me!"...when I was trying to tell them something, and each failed attempt resulted in a higher volume repeat! Never thought of that!

@cruisingontheborder 4 месяца назад

Yes they are life savers, Michael and I don't have to yell at each other along the tow path now.

@jerrybailey5797 10 месяцев назад

We had walkie talkies on a building site l once worked on .... some interesting conversations were had , l can tell you 😂😂😂.... Great video Michael and Jackie and breath taking scenery 👌

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Oh wow! Do tell Jerry..... Lovely to hear from you. So pleased you liked this one x

@devon6482 10 месяцев назад

Hello from me down in Torbay, loving your video and the tranquillity of the area you are cruising in. Such a joy to watch, thanks. :o)

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Trica and Neil you are so right, coffee is so important and a daily event on Border Reiver as you can see. All the best J&M x

@johnbackhouse3742 10 месяцев назад

Those lock gates really need sorting out. Thank you for another interesting vlog.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Yes they do, so tricky. Thanks for your comment John.

@jillparnell6203 10 месяцев назад

Put the Walkie Talkies on lanyards so you can put them around your neck or over your shoulder

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Great idea Jill, however we find it slightly dangerous to have something dangling around your neck when you are operating locks etc. Just don't want to catch them on the mechanism. Hope you enjoy our waterways adventures.

@adenursey1063 10 месяцев назад

Just a comment on fuel filters, most come with plastic drain plugs in the bottom which need to be replaced with metal ones to make sure that they are compliant for the BSS examination

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your comment and very helpful advice. There is always much to learn 🙏

@PS-sd8yc 10 месяцев назад

Sorry if this has been asked before. You have a cratch cover but no pram hood? When you have to cruise in the rain or harsh sunshine do you wish you had one. Both for protection from the weather and to give you a bit more covered living area when needed. I love watching your vlogs, entertaining and interesting. Thankyou

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi. It’s a good point. We do not have a pram hood but wish we did have. I guess it’s down to expense at the end of the day. Maybe we’ll get one at some stage. 👍❤️

@rachelshonahague5718 10 месяцев назад

Of cause if your tight and want save some money you could always learn Semaphore😂 xx

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

What a great idea. The Captain should already know that with being in the navy!! x

@rachelshonahague5718 10 месяцев назад

Perfect🫡 wonder if they sell Semaphore flags 9n Ebay 🤔😆

@johnland5042 10 месяцев назад

Another couple of perfect days on the cut I'd say bringing back many great memories as we were frequent travellers on this canal. Stone is a fine town with several useful shops. Yes to the walkie talkies from me as well. Used them for many years as well as a couple of hand signals ! Thank you again for all of this! J.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi John, yes beautiful canal isn't it. Great comment, thank you. We sometimes still use the odd hand signal as a double check when in locks. It works for us. x

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it! So pleased you get our humour and banter. Great comment thank you x

@patmancrowley8509 10 месяцев назад

Buy Michael a belt holster for the walkie-talkie. Buy one for yourself too, Jackie.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Pat, great idea, we will look into them. Thanks for your suggestion. Jackie x

@mishkawp8200 10 месяцев назад

@davidbassett4577 10 месяцев назад

I don’t own a narrowboat, but love your videos … the walki-talkies are a godsend when you have two people working together on a boat; but I had my first use of one in a car a few months ago. My car gave up the ghost on the A40 just outside Beaconsfield in Bucks .. when the clutch went .. managed to coast into a bus stop .. called RAC .. 7 & 1/2 hrs later they still hadn’t come … my son came & rescued me .. he towed me 19 miles back to Aylesbury; by using walki talkies he gave me braking instructions & we got back safely … so yes they are a life saver!

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Wow what a great story David, hope you and the car are ok. It's scary being towed so we can understand how well they would work in that situation. Thanks so much for dropping us a comment. x

@jorgeblanco2275 10 месяцев назад

Excellent video, very beautiful boat, I greet you from Argentina.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Wow Argentina, how lovely to hear from you. It's wonderful to know our little waterways video's make it all the way around the world!! x

@MaggieTremayne 10 месяцев назад

Radios are brilliant! Make so much sense. Seen many other boaters use them.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Maggie thanks for your comment. Yes they are great. xx

@patmancrowley8509 10 месяцев назад

WOW! 10 layers of arches in that bridge. Whodathunk?

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Pat it was stunning. We couldn't resist showing it on the video. x

A moo hatch! Aren't you glad the cows didn't swim over!9

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Karen lovely comment, yes great moo hatch... it's a good job the big bull didn't swim over, it's probably shallow enough for them to do that!!! Argh....

@thefurrybastard1964 10 месяцев назад

You two are like swans. Calm and collected on the surface, like in the videos, but hard at work underneath it all. Another great video, keep em coming. Oh by the way, did you observe international talk like a pirate day?

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Batman 👍. We both loved the comment and no sorry we didn't realise it was 'Talk like a pirate day'. Will pop it in the diary for next year!!

@fionaboss1512 10 месяцев назад

I have been waiting for your next video I get withdrawl symptoms now 😅 Another very enjoyable trip on the Canal thank you 😊

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Fiona. Lovely to hear from you and so pleased you enjoyed this weeks adventures. Hope your withdrawal symptoms are to too bad... Thanks for your lovely comment. J&M xx

@presspound7358 10 месяцев назад

Whoever manufactured your walkie-talkies owes you 💰. You could have just told us that you were doing an infomercial. 😂😂😂😂 The “weather stars” are spinning in your favour. Beautiful scenery and yes it was worth going to the bow to get a good look at that centuries old bridge. Superb. Walkie-talkies or no walkie-talkies we can easily tell that the both of you “grew up” together through the years. You can’t fake that. That’s what draws people to you. Family. Hugs and kisses 😘 Canada’s Eastern Seaboard 🇨🇦

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Canada. Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you enjoyed this episode, it wasn't a commercial/paid collaboration for the walkie talkies just us showing how they work for us with our lifestyle. That bridge was beautiful wasn't it, so pretty. Yes we have spent a lot of time with each other during our travelling lifestyle, so much fun. Keep watching lots more fun and games to come. xx

@davidhall4079 10 месяцев назад

Hello to you both what a lovely spot to tie up at that's the great thing with boats if you don't like the view just move to a better one loving the vlogs as always ❤❤

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

We agree it was perfect! Thanks for the comment David, love it x

@MicksterEll 10 месяцев назад

Never heard of a walkie talkie being a marriage saver before, 😂 Each to their own I suppose

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi again. Guess the phrase ‘marriage savers’ was a lighthearted term we used to try explain how useful they are. Hope you liked the video. Take care. 👍❤️

@MicksterEll 10 месяцев назад

Indeed

@DMyatt 10 месяцев назад

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Richard, sorry to hear about your phone but so so pleased you found us again. Hope the weather is not too bad in Aberdeen today, hear you've had a big storm in Scotland this weekend... sending you our best wishes x

@Dawn-su3wc 10 месяцев назад

Great video. Just one thing, don’t leave windlass on the winding gear. If it slips it can break your arm.

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip you are so right, it is amazing how quickly something can happen.

@susannahwhitaker994 10 месяцев назад

It all looks lovely and your boat is so tidy inside. Just wondered if you ever feel worried when you are walking or running along the towpath on your own, and how long can you moor up for each time ?🤗

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Susannah thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment. No I don't feel worried at all, often I will have my phone or the walkie talkie with me and even the windlass if going between locks (Little bit of security if needed eh!!) If there are no time restrictions we can stay in 1 location for up to 2 weeks, the only concern then would be water and toilet disposal. Hope that answers your questions x

@lesmurray1732 10 месяцев назад

Worth adding some Marine 16 to your fuel

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Les, yes we do that when we fill up, don't want that nasty diesel bug..... thanks for the tip.

Did he forget his radio or did he 'forget'

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for your comment. 👍❤️

@tonycarter3756 10 месяцев назад

I think wakie talkies are brilliant as l hate shouting and also you are more likely to get a reply 😂

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Tony, yes you are totally right. Sometimes if the boat is down in a lock it's the only way to communicate and have a conversation has they water can be so so loud. Lovely to hear from you x

@nathanberry4339 10 месяцев назад

I'd save the arguments and the £25 by not having a wife plus it means I have the added bonus of always being right 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Hi Nathan. Absolutely love that!!! It’s Michael answering obvs! And you make a good point! 😂😂😂

@nathanberry4339 10 месяцев назад

@@cruisingontheborder hi Michael and thank you , narrowboat do make me wonder how couples manage in such close quarters I'd imagine the first 6 months adjusting are the most difficult

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

We’d lived in France on a boat together for 3 years and for the past 13 yrs we’ve constantly travelled together in various ways so I guess we are used to coping with each other. You do need your own space though, which is why one of us tends to walk the towpath whilst the other skippers the boat. It’s not always easy though.. but we enjoy our life. ❤️👍

@DaysoutwithDave1961 10 месяцев назад

Did you tell your husband off, off camera and how often are the lock gates maintained

@cruisingontheborder 10 месяцев назад

Gosh I can't tell the Captain off.... ha ha... I would have to walk the plank!!! CRT keep a schedule of lock maintenance required, sometimes they may need more regular maintenance depending upon the age of them. We have seen a number of locks where the lock gates have been replaced completely, a long and costly affair when they have to do it. Thanks for your comment.
