    Hi there, been watching your channel for quite a while. While i watched your vid doing the watford locks, i recognized your exhaust gases😢 being blue. This is a hint that your engine is burning oil. Being an old ships engineer, i would highly recommend that you have someone look into it.
    Keep up the good life....
    Really enjoy your videos,
    best regards

Watford locks were interesting and I’m glad they were manned to take the stress and effort away from you.. Another great production May Well Done and Thank You for sharing.

      Could always try some Wynn's injector cleaner. Poor into a full ( or adjust dose accordingly) fuel tank .
      Personally I have been advised against Wynn's engine flush for older engines , So Please Use Due Diligence and do not confuse with injector cleaner !
      Great results were had with an old JCB 3c MK2 , using quality fuel and injector cleaner ! It certainly minimised Black soot !
      Was May boat smoking and what colour ?
      15 minutes of pure relaxation and my eyes did not register the exhaust!😊😊

    You need to eat some marmite, it’s an old trick, people even feed a spoonful to horses who are prone to bites to stop them getting bitten. I eat marmite on toast often and never get bitten! If you like marmite give it a try May. X

    May here’s something that over the years has been a godsend for me when it comes to mozzie bites. Lick or moisten the site and then apply table salt to the area and let stand/sit for a bit. It draws out the stuff that makes you itch and shortens the skin recovery time. Yea, I know sounds gross to some. But try it. What have you got to lose.

    Nice white legs! Here in southern Califronia we have these tiny-tiny no see-um mosquitos we call ankle biters. They have the most painful bite, though you actually don't feel them until an hour or two afterwards. The worst locations to be bitten is just below your ankle ball joint, the top of your feet and shins. I still have bruises from last year. Gawd I hate those skeeters.

    It was nice to see consideration for the chap you were talking to, You do have the right to film anybody in a public place in the uk, But I like the respect you show to others, A rare thing for people these days. Also those mozzie bites came up way more than normal , I think its called "Skeeter Syndrome" So it looks like you are allergic to them.

    Not a nice evening for you with those bites on your legs as soon as your not busy they will itch like crazy. Good job there's a lock keeper, awful lot of work and hassle if their wasn't. But looks a good day out with a sit down meal to relax with.

      @@wellbeingonwater I just had another look. One part does indeed say it ends on 24th Dec 2024, but on another bit it says 24th of December 2024 (Or when the last ticket is sold). I have been checking the website every day since you started the competition because there is a bit where you can see the number of tickets sold and the names of everyone that have brought tickets. Over the last few days it has been slowly going up the last 100 towards 13000, but in the last 12 hours it seems to have stopped at 12984!! I have been too excited checking it every hour! Please let me know an up date on the situation. The suspence is killing me.
