- Sometimes we find the Secrets of France that no one tells you about. Boating on the French Canals is an adventure like no other! We're now taking our sailboat through the canals on the Canal de Garonne and are loving the serenity, beauty and gentle pace of this lesser known canal. However- boat life is never easy, and we're about to be beset by the most extreme heat wave ever to hit France in June....

This was a great video. I wish I could have been there with you. Just absolutely lovely, and I just love the sunset at the end of the video, well done there.
As to the Moissac Abbey, here's some information on it.
www.sacred-destinations.com/france/moissac-abbey-cloister
Thanks mate. It was such an amazing place
not only the Abbey is great, too bad that you have missed "Le Formage Rit"
Like a boss. Teresa jumping off the boat and the nosy Nellies stepping back a couple of feet careful not to get in her way.
I’m not to be trifled with! 😆
It is great to go through the fresh water canals once in a while as it kills most if not all of the marine growth from the ocean and makes cleaning the hull easier. Then when you get to the ocean the fresh water growth dies and falls away making it easier to clean and then you end up with a clean hull for the next part of the journey.
Various degrees of heat: @16:00 "Last night ... it was sweltering ... , today is going to be hotter, tomorrow hotter still and Thursday it's going to be crazy hot". 🤣Have to love it 😄
Stay cool mate
Beautiful I enjoyed seeing the locks and the boat looked great.
What a peaceful relief. Thank you for sharing.
Some beautiful footage..well done.
Thanks for sharing! Terysa is developing some great line handling skills.
Looks like you had to clean sea strainers and often lot that water looks pretty dirty very cool video seems like a very awesome relaxed trip double thumbs up Vegas Bill peace be safe and I hope you're having a good holiday and thank you so much for the awesome videos all year
Excellent video. Very impressed with the barbeque. So that is how you create atmospheric effect, just smoke em out.
Absolutely wonderful
Wonderful series of videos.
Thank you mate
I'll bet most of France is wishing for those 32 degree days now. Change is in the air. Love your videos.
Nice video thanks
What a journey. Living the dream. Thank you for sharing....
a pleasure mate
When we did the Canal du Midi the canal had mature plaintrees everywhere. We wintered in the 50 km bief above Beziers. Later all the trees ware cut down du to some disese.
Great video! One of your best
Very nice, thanks guys!
Cheers Trev..
pleasure mate.
GREAT VIDEO nice end
What a lovely trip. New friend Ruthie
Awww thanks. It was a fantastic trip
Beautiful shots! Thank you!
cheers
Another excellent video you made! Not only an interesting content of Canal riding but also very good video quality. Brilliant!
thank you mate
Great video!
Beautiful area and adventure, the abbey was awesome!
thanks
It's delicious to have a water bridge over the river. When was there a canal like this? LOL .....
This was one of the better videos, really conveyed the emotions in those moments.... so pretty ...
Thanks mate
Second post as watching your entire episode. The Abbey Q&A bit.....made me literally laugh out loud! I can count on this channel to be interesting with flashes of wit! Excellent. TY
thanks Christine
Great episode, looks very peaceful.
it was amazing
Fantastic video, guys - many thanks for sharing a beautiful experience. 43 degrees C in the shade on our verandah yesterday afternoon....I love that hot weather. Be safe, thanks again...
Ooh, steamy! Thanks!
I have been along for your adventures awhile ....... I must let you know that this channel journey has been one of your most enjoyable, the photography, the relaxed nature and your loving relationship - just delightful - thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Anne x
Thank you for the video. It must be a lot of work to make the great videos that you produce. Wishing you safe travels.⛵
thanks mate
Over a highway 1 week. Then over a large river this week! Very enjoyable video with great scenery, thxs again.
cheers
Your videos have been wonderful, the canal has been different, the stops along the way with a history lesson priceless, this short interlude of your life, mind blowing. I can't thank you enough. Thanksgiving weekend and you give us this!!!! Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for giving the classic temperature scale equivalent on the screen there!
yeah, we dont understand the other one either
Looks like an amazing journey. I've been enjoying this series of videos and now have a French lock crossing on my to do list.
Thankyou! Glad you’ve enjoyed it!
I'm soooooo not looking forward to you getting out of the canals. It's been such a wonderful adventure to follow!
It was amazing and we will go back some day
Great couple, great credibility. Good luck! 🍒
thank you.
Loved it. The canals are sooooooo cool. I never knew they existed like that. Suck it up Nick. The heat is better then below zero weather here in the states. I know you can do it. Can't wait for the next video. Keep smiling and sail on.
Cheers mate, will do
Wonderful, relaxing video. In a moment of perfect synergy, I'm sitting watching while sipping a glass of chilled French rose only to find you guys sipping the same in the video! That monastery was simply amazing, and the ancient pipe organ really grabbed my attention. Can just imagine a piece by Guillaume de Machaut being performed on that organ at the time he would have composed it (1300s).
exactly mate. it still works as well
Wow you truly captured the beauty of this canal !
thank you.
To me it appears that one reason for the du Midi locks being concave walls made the construction engineering easier, effecting a compression arch against the earth backfill so probably meant less stone had to be laid, though it requires the lock gate heads to be of sufficient mass to anchor the arch.
Well. You clearly know a lot more about these things than I do! 😊
Cheers!
We were on the Midi in September this year. Still hot but not oppressively so. Our first time ... but not our last. Being from Canada, the history floored us! You do a great job. Keep it up.
its an amazing place
Cloister! ROFL! That was a funny bit. But wow, what a georgios part of the canal. I'm kicking back the day after Thanksgiving enjoying some Ruby Rose adventures. Wonderful N&T.
cheers mate. Enjoy your Turkey sandwiches
Lol subjecting France to the smell of the great Aussie bbq. You captured the French countryside beautifully.
thank you
This was a great one !
Glad you enjoyed it mate. We enjoyed re watching it
Yeah I like your guys way of traveling
Thanks mate
I'd like to see a series of videos with you sailing around England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and maybe a stop at the Isle of Man. Surely there's enough interesting ports and historical places in those locations for some great videos? The Ruby Rose's Celtic Adventure? Slainte!
The oval locks are self-supporting arch, like the keystone you filmed in the romanesque abbey. The rectangular ones are the result of a modernisation in the XXth and tones of reinforced concrete
Thankyou Antoine!
We were in a house boat on the Loire at the beginning of July and got to experience the heat wave as well. Those canals have no shade!
oh we feel you pain
Nice
LOL. First rule of canal life. NO RUSHING!. Great Vids thanks.
pleasure mate
Have really enjoyed your canal experience! We have a Hunter 356 and have been down the KY Lake toTenn-Tom to Mobile from KY Lake 650 miles (then down and back to SW Fla and Keys), 13 locks both ways but much wider and more rural. The French locks have a lot to offer. One thing we have that makes it more comfortable is a generator (Northern Lights 5.5 KW) and water to air heat pump. We run it continuously when off dock power so we stay cool or warm, depending on the conditions. Makes it easy sleeping hot or cold and at least one can slip down to the Saloon during the day to get some respite from the heat or cold. We are doing our annual move to our hometown marina next weekend 84NM upstream on the Cumberland River in Tennessee, Wie also have a full enclosure which adds immensely to comfort. Forecast for light rain, 32 to 50 degrees F, but we are set up for it. You should look into a generator and heat pump on your next boat - fixes those extreme conditions! Be safe and stay comfortable. Your videos are the best!
Oh we know how much difference air con would have made.
lovely film. The canal du midi used to be as quiet as the Garonne.. when I lived down there. The plane trees on the midi were equally as shady and restful but unfortunately have suffered from a disease that is spreading. The old trees have been felled and there are lots of volunteers planting new resistant varieties, so it will change again. Incidentally; spring is a good time to go as you can be guaranteed water and peace
Thanks Amanda! The Midi, while busy, was beautiful. We’d definitely love to go back!
Oh to have some of that heat today, freezing my Max Walls off as I watch this video
Know they are necessary but I love the 2000 fenders🥰. Envy your trip of a lifetime.
Thanks Jacquie
I'm really glad you changed your theme song. Martin Hall's Love for the ocean has become a misunderstood affection of the cruiser community, in that it sounds like a paean to the ocean but it's actually is an anti-love song if you really listen to the lyrics, and the tune you have chosen to use currently feels like it much more accurately represents your relationship and channel. Cheers.
This is an incredible journey. 49c is bloody hot.Epected here in Aus but I never knew France could get that hot. You have more fenders than a guitar museum but i can see why you do. cheers.
It was insanely hot.
Guy's, great stuff! I get the impression you would like a bigger Westerly with a lift-up keel. Hi, from Sydney, still with smoke haze here, probably all summer. Fair winds.
Stay safe and stay cool mate
have you guys done a full review of your top 10 anchorage spots ? If so I haven’t came across it yet and I’m power watching my way through to catch up 😂 if not ? Why not ! Would love to have an in-depth top ten review guys 😎👍🏽🌅
France's hidden secret ?. Your new outremer :-)
hahahha. who knows?
@@sailingrubyrose Hang on ... she said doing the canals again ..... Is that a New Southerly being banged up in the shed next door ...... ?
After watching ALL of your videos, and many others, I have decided that your next boat should fit you like a glove, and In my humble opinion it should be....
Outremer 51
We do love the Outremer 51! Unfortunately a new one is well outside our budget and there aren’t ever many on the used market. We’ll see!
We had 48 deg C at Chalon so headed up on the Canal du Centre then into the canal lateral a la Loire . Temp lowered to mid 30’s, 38 on occasions.
A new problem was the farmers nicking the canal water for the fields. The draft guarantee could not be maintained so we are in la junction at Nevers. Nice place but it was not the grand circuit via Paris and epernay that we are planning to complete in 2020. It’s a new paradigm for canal navigation.
Yeah the lack of water is going to be a big problem
Rather hard to take a cat down the canals,,, have you changed your mind on stepping up to a catamaran ? I can see that it would be easy to spend a couple years traveling thru the canal system. Love these episodes. CHEERS Steve h.
Bloody Pom, can't cook a snag on the BBQ to save himself. You should leave it to your better half from Australia to show you how it is done.
I bet you enjoyed the bread and cakes in all the different paticeries and boulangeries in the different towns
Google Weber Q1000. That’ll be the last time you serve meat that has been burned to a crisp or you smoked out your neighbors downwind! Took me 25 years to realize that the “marine” bbq’s are substandard in my opinion.:-)
👍👍Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.
hey guys! thanks.
Nice storytelling on this one.
Thankyou!
In history books that I have read they made the round locks to prevent cave in , Nick in the cliosters meditating ? not quite sure of that , in real terms with the heat he s thinking where s the nearest cold beer & with the same heat Ms T is thinking on the next boat we are having A/C in the cabin. So peaceful in the last part of the vid zero loco nutter captains & birds tweeting , yes I could live with that. Once again nice vid guys., looks ike Nicks going to take a dip to de-weed the prop & bow thruster very soon , Ahhh the joys of jumping in raw sewage Lol .
wait until next week mate
Cloister = Klooster = Convent
Surprised no one called for a Fire Brigade with the amount of smoke from the cooker however maybe they are use to it. The smoke does dramatically show the stillness of the air and how it is staying low to the ground and water surface. The two of you just looked uncomfortable in the heat. Thanks very much for sharing with us love the videography.
thank you so much
I would have gone swimming for sure with that heat. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. : ) peace I'm gonna miss this season when it's over.
i know right. we loved it
@@sailingrubyrose It was like your honeymoom and we got to see where you went. A great joy to watch. Looking forward to the next series. : ) peace
no rolling around during dinner :)
Beautiful episode. A lot of work editing I'm sure, worth my humble praise to you guys. Camera handling, content, subject etc. Very professional.
thank you.
Good choice of music T. :-)
thank you.
These videos continue to show ever more idyllic towns. They all look stunningly beautiful, but I think Moissac beats them all.
It was so so pretty.
Nice GOT reference 🤣
Yay! Someone got it. You’re the first
@@sailingrubyrose lol .. hard core GOT fan 🤣
believe the idea was that older barges fit 2 in the rounded wall locks.. and it was easier to make the lock space with a bottle-neck as the moving gates got far more complex when made larger (wider) having more pressure on the hinges etc.
Seems they got a bit lazy back in the 1600 ish
I'm surprised there aren't a lot of boats using the canal system. At least it looks that way. Seems that it would be such a beautiful journey. :-)
It’s too shallow for most boats unless you have a lift keel. Nowadays even the shoal draft boats are struggling
How much of a smacking does Nick gets when Terysa edits his vlogs? I imagine not enough. :P
quite a smacking :)
Hey Nick is there any chance we could get your chicken curry recipe? Sounds like one of your faves and I'd like to try it. Thanks ⛵
It's difficult to imagine publishing 5 months or so behind when you're a daily vlogger! But great videos, loving them and so jealous!
Heh. We’ve been pushed back partly because of our catamaran review series which is running concurrently and also because each episode takes about 30 hours of post production work.
@@sailingrubyrose I suppose if I take up to 3 hours to process my daily ones and your doing a week or so at a time, it could easily build up to that. Great stuff though.
32 thats just warm common tereysa it gets warmer than that in autumn in Ade;aide
need to add a counter with a bell for how many times the word "cloister" is said
4 maybe 5? 🤣🤣🤣
The amount of smoke from
the BBQ! 😂
british BBQ!
It was ridiculous 😂
I remember reading about the European heat wave. It is horrible to think the weather & high temperatures are the new normal. :¬( Webhead USA
They are not. Climate change is not real. Don't worry about it.
Yet another fab video. It was great to bump into you you at the Southampton boat show I am back on my feet and working furiously to get Moonshine ready for the canals. Moonshine is only 26 foot and so space is at a real premium. So can I ask how much did you use the folding bikes. I have a folding electric bike which is great for longer trips but heavy and a bit bulky so I am thinking of getting two smaller bikes one for me and one for my wife. But if you seldom used yours I am wondering if they would just get in the way.
Hey mate, for the canals the bike are invaluable. Many of the villages and supermarkets are a couple of km from the canal and so you need a bike and a basket
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose cool thanks for the heads up.
Looks amazing, sounds awful with the heat!
Wait til next week....
In the beginning of Jessica and Ryan Adventures episode "THE GREAT WEST PALM BEACH BINKY QUEST", (recent), he tells you about his website where you can find all kinds of catamaran floor plans, you may very well want to check this out.
It’s like watching the “old sea dog” with all the moaning about the heat!
Great edit though...
Good morning, wich is the maximum beam and tall of the boat to cross the bridges? Is there any web page in wich you learn about the specifications to go true the canals? Can you go to Paris by the canals? Thank you for your videos and happy new year!
Hey mate. Happy New Year.
You can get “fluvial” guides of all the canals eh I tell you precise heights and depths. For us it was 3m height and 1.3m depth.
Yes you can go through the centre of Paris
Thank you!
Could you me more about the solar panels? What brand are they and do they work ok?
Solbian, they work well!
Another brilliant episode. Don't think you'll be doing it again if you buy a catamaran.
No, although maybe we could rent a little house boat? That would be fun.
You should look into a cheap ac off amazon. Think they are about $1500.
Loving the Venus-Mars back and forth ... two inquisitive adventurers who pair well. Notice any geoengineering (chemtrails) as the climate reaches extremes? 1PacificRedwood may acquaint with satellite weather time-lapse to acquaint with weather manipulations.
No glasses ..... There goes the Bond look lol
i know mate.
No canals in the Seawind!
from New Mexico USA ,I dont live far from the Wynns in Texas,,,your welcome to our hot springs and lakes here any time [87901] [my guest] here in USA ,Happy Thanksgiving,,,,,,,,,great video,be well
Thanks for the invite!
@@sailingrubyrose you bet.........my guest always ,key airports El paso or Albuquerque,,from Dallas,,see Wynns first...once you get airports I finance the rest......to me ...........if you get the kids[ wynns] with you id pay to here 87901,,,lol
I'm sorry, I laughed at your heat wave. We get up to around 40c in the summer, wind chills down to -30 in winter, and can have temperature swings of 20c per day. Sorry you have to deal with that though
