Hello! 10.06.22. Hardy Navigator I was the person you passed today at Haw Bridge pontoon. I don't think you could hear what I was saying. I just wanted to thank you for your excellent videos. We were heading down to Gloucester from Upton. Kind regards. Peter H. Boat "Wychwon"
Hi boys, When some one local i was chatting to said a canal boat boat was on the severn heading up gloucester way,I just knew it was wye invader 2 👍 you boys cease to amaze me with your travels also I knew you had checked Your passage plan again and again👍 Keep The video s coming great stuff, see you on canal soon👏👏
Gentlemen, again you make it look so easy....it was good to see the note at the end about the amount preparation and planning you did. You’ve created a whole new genre of extreme narrow boating 😁 When you were moving around the debris and mentioned your anchor and if the prop were to get damaged....it brings it home how unforgiving this river is. I can’t imagine the terror of being stuck there especially on a Spring tide.
Besides the anchor and not mentioned in the video, we also carry a spare propeller, a multi-channel VHF radio and a full set of the latest Admiralty charts.
Thanks for a great, detailed record of this unusual trip. The river towards Maisemore actually looks better than the eastern channel north of the lower parting where your previous video showed a great deal of overhanging foliage.
As the last Skipper of Inlandnavigationvessel "Zilvermeeuw" and later renamed "Wye Invader" from 12 December 1988 to 13 March 2013, I would like to thank you for your compliment.
