After watching the highlights last week I could make out different points of interest and I have never been to London so that was cool. Going under Tower Bridge knowing how excited you were about that and the horn blasts we knew now that we would be turning. It was so cool. I presume that we were hearing the bow thrusters as you were coming into Limehouse lock and then how clear the mic picked up the conversation at the end. That us a great experience thanks for sharing 👍😎💖

Watching this “not vlog” for the second time. During the first viewing and now this second viewing I am so enjoying the sounds of the river over the bow of the boat. I would love to have a copy of the sound track on a cd so that I can play it at night when I go to bed; the sounds are so relaxing and would be a wonderful way to fall asleep. Perhaps you could make and sell a cd for all to enjoy. Love following your vlogs.

Really enjoyed that. Two different vlogs, really - the journey down the river, as it gets progressively bigger and more tidal, and then the turn and entry into Limehouse - scary just to watch it at home! (Starts just after 3:25, with the warning horn, if anyone just wants to watch that bit.) Without those bow thrusters, you'd have been in trouble! But I appreciate Shaun's skill even more now, he had to hit those angles exactly right - having never done it before! Amazing stuff. And I see what you mean about Limehouse lock being scary too - all that water! Another world altogether from what you're used to on the canals. A lovely ending as well, as you drift out of the lock into the calm and 'normality' of Limehouse marina. Why the cut in the lock though - did the GoPro run out of storage or something?

It's at 3:35:45 - a few seconds after the water really starts to rush in, there's a 'fade' (?) where the view suddenly changes and the boat is higher than it was a few seconds before. This sort of thing is so common on the edited vlogs that it took me a while to spot that it had happened!

Though I've done the downstream voyage twice, places look so different from the water that I've never had a chance to get my bearings properly. Now I've got the A-Z open on my left and Wikipedia's illustrated list of London crossings on my right, to answer the perennial question, "Where exactly are we?"

Westminster Bridge marks the central section of the river Thames between there and Tower Bridge. Look out for Hungerford (aka Charing Cross Bridge) and Blackfriars. Of course, the latter has rebuilt and you may see a glimpse of the trains. Before the rebuilding, you can see the trains as clear as day, into and out of the station.

@@FoxesAfloat I should also mention Cannon Street railway bridge, within a five minute boat ride from Blackfriars Bridge. You may see trains sticking out of the terminus. Above it is an office development (which replaced an arched roof that was destroyed decades ago) between the station's twin towers. Grovesnor Railway Bridge when one train crosses the river and heads for the terminus at Victoria, several hundred yards away. Steam trains and railtours have crossed over the latter bridge down the years, and still to this day.

Hey Guys, very interesting real time video. Got an idea of the pace down the Thames. I honestly did scene jump to sections I'd seen in your vlog version (while I was eating lunch). I did want to watch the - full time - of the turn into Limehouse, and the lift in the lock to the marina level. I must say, the bow view is a bit intense (and frightening), what with the amount of churning water pouring into the lock, let alone the sound. Ah... but deep breath, and enjoy the ride. The bow camera is definitely a different and unique view of cruising the waters. Cheers....

PS (as always!) - my computer didn't automatically swith to HD, so I spent the first few minutes wondering why the quality was so low. So it's worth checking when you start watching - the difference is really noticeable, and makes the Thames and its surroundings look so much better. The London Tourist Board really should 'borrow' this video! Oh, and turn up the sound as well - you need to really hear the water!

@@FoxesAfloat but most of those i have watched...on the more rural canals ...you cant really hear the wildlife due to loud engines on their narrowboats. I grew up in the country and now i live 1/2 mile from a busy parkway and i miss the sounds of nature without the constant noise pollution. Your engine is much quiter qnd frankly i think i would watch a vlog every day with you on a rural canal during my naptime if you made it.( over and over again) love you 2 *** add Otis too..XOXOX

Hello. Love the Vlogs. Just finished binge watching from the beginning. I saw online the other day, these Vlogers who film in 360 Degrees. I thought to myself, what if a narrow boat Vloger did the same thing? A video like this would be cool in VR. Or when you describing something, we could be on the boat with you and look where you point. Just a thought.

Fascinating, thanks v. much for posting this. Did you arrive at Limehouse Lock at a pre-arranged time; or did you aim to arrive at a certain state of the tide (it looked like an ebb tide close to Low Water); or did you just turn up between the Lock's opening hours and enter on the green lights (or, if they had been red, tie up just before the bottom gates & wait)?

I worked in London only 20 years ago, and I can't recognise large parts of the river front now, East and west of the central area it was all industrial, warehousing, etc (and, of course, in the Pool itself), now it's almost entirely flats - none of which the average Londoner could ever afford.

Absolutely awesome Foxies. Sat watching it on tv and following on Google Maps. Confused by Richmond lock and weir ... you went under a bridge 🤪🤪🤪 but apart from that learnt a lot. Amazing lock entry Shaun ... I've been through a few in Brittany with its 40' range of tides but none were as scarey as this. If you get time ... what were the four blasts before the two turning to port ones as you turned across the river? Keep safe guys, you cheer us up more than you could know 👍👍
