#AD Two months free! Cancel anytime www.readly.com/cruising :-) REUPLOADED due to dull technical matter. I spend a day with Connor Warner, a professional boat mover who takes customers' narrowboats, cruisers, Dutch barges ... you name it .... around the rivers and canals of Britain. See Connor at www.cwboatmover.co.uk instagram.com/cwboatmover
We made a Llangollen canal boat trip years ago, took two weeks of just going slow. Walks on the canal paths, visiting other boaters, historic sites. Of all our travels it was the most relaxing ever. My wife settled in, we would stop at small villages for supplies, classic pubs for a brew. Always wanted to go back but never made it, but we have found memories. Thanks for your videos. BC Canada
Thank you for the kind words about Scarlet Lady 💃💃 Connor has always done a great job in helping me out when ive had to dash off for work. Ps also love Readly!
Lovely video today David 😊, Seems like Connor really does know how lucky he is to have such a great job. No desks, and plenty of beautiful sights and sounds. 😁
@@CruisingTheCut You’re welcome, and there’s no shame in advertising. That’s the name of the game on here. If advertising someone’s product you believe in helps the channel and helps you then I’m fairly sure you have most everyone’s support.
@@Halfstep2024I can also vouch for the Readly product. It’s a great way of reading magazines, especially the ones you might not otherwise purchase. You are also able to share your subscription with four other people.
@@CruisingTheCutWe could easily tell how passionate you were about the product, you did an absolutely great job. Sponsor spots can be rather enjoyable when the creator genuinely likes the product, it feels less like mere corpo approved talking points and more like a friend telling you about this wonderful thing he found. :) If you do more sponsor spots like that then I'm sure nobody will have a problem with it and you can rest easy knowing that you haven't alienated your fans, if somebody somehow does have a problem then he or she can just skip it.
Fascinating. It reminded me of when I used to do trade plating. Hitching to pick up a vehicle, driving it to a delivery point, and hitching back home. It's nice to see a young man loving his job. Thanks for the vid. ilona
I was worried, when you sold your boat, that you'd soon run out of topics & your channel would fade away... However, you seem to be going from strength to strength... I'm amazed at each new topic! This was one of my favourite vlogs & reminds me of my cousin who used to make his living delivering yachts around the Mediterranean
All these years on and I’m still enthralled as ever with both the channel and unique gem that is the Canal system! In every video, virtually without fail, there is something that makes me smile or makes me wish I could find that pace of life for myself and my loved ones. The world needs slowing and appreciating these days. All the best to the good gentleman moving boats and to your future endeavors! I will, as always, hoist a cold one when I finally slow down for the day!
These type of ads, were the presenter is genuinely interested in it, are so much better than the scripted ones, hope more ads like this will come and help the channel to thrive. Another great video, thank you David and Cheerio!
All your back stories make for interesting videos. I have been following you from almost the very beginning and you never disappoint. Thanks for taking us along.
If I was to ever go to England, I'd definitely have to go down a canal on a narrowboat. It seems you meet the most polite people the country has to offer. Probably hit as many pubs along the way as humanly possible. Lol
Beautiful boat, Connor seems very good. It was a brilliant vlog as always from you. I must get a pad so I can get the magazine's thank you so much . Take care Blessings to you XXX
Ah! you have discovered the "simple joy of being a passenger on someone else's narrowboat" David. I suppose I should not be surprised but I am as you have previously provided the virtual version of this delight to the likes of me over the last few years.
That was a great video David. You explain things so everyone understands. What a nice young lad to shift boats. He has great enterprise. Regards from New Zealand.
Another lovely vlog! Narrowboat mover would be an enjoyable line of work. Glad to hear Connor has lots of jobs on the go, too. Fun to see you dipping your toe into the world of sponsored content.
Blimey, that’s literally at the end of my garden and Lyon’s is over the road. Would have been lovely to say hello. Oh well. Great video. Great idea by Connor.
The way you present the “ad” doesn’t make it seem like an advertisement. For example, when you do the fireside chat showing us all of the things that narrowboaters have for sale or items that you have found unique that we might like as well. Your journalistic background served us very well for this video. Thank you for taking us along
David, that was such a super vlog. You never fail to surprise me with all the different aspects of canal boating you bring to us and allow us to share. Isn’t Connor a grand chap.
If I had a Narrowboat, Connor is someone I'd definitely have in my list of contacts. Indispensible piece of info. Fascinating aspect of canaling, all those boats in the shipyard. Thanks David. Great little video.
Great video..this is a keeper..please do more of this kind of boat supporting industry ..vary nicely done..I think people would love this . and we still get boating adventures
That was a nice episode about a profession I'd never imagine existed. Even tho we have crews here in the U.S. who move yacths and other boats from cities and states to other cities and states or between other points professionally. That particular narrow boat I'd love to own and live in in the Florida Keys. A lovely boat to spend a nice sunny south Florida day at a sand bar party.
I like these videos absolutely the most. My first video of yours was Coalfinger, and this feels like a cozy reminder and followup in the same vein. Thanks!
@@CruisingTheCut I watched the 4 seasons on Netflix twice. I enjoy the show and it is a perfect way to end my day! So happy to have found you on UA-cam.
Welcome along here 😊 For reference, vlog 201 on UA-cam is roughly equivalent to where S4 on Prime ended so everything from 2020 onwards is YT only. Cheers!
Gosh, David, you just might be the world's top salesman, that pitch for Ready was over the top good. Awesome subject for the post, the lad moving boats for a living. Another brush stroke on the canvas old chap, very well done. Cheers.
I enjoyed this video immensely David well presented as yours are always the ad was good but Connor has a lovely job well done to him for thinking of it
Excellent video. Connor does a great job. Fabulous kind of work in the fresh air and scenery. Thank you David for another most enjoyable cruise and documentary.
So cool to be in my old area , Shirley , Copt Heath ,our Old boys Club , Earlswood . Made me look back , I crossed one canal everyday on my way to school for 10 years , just past the Rover Factory on my left heading into Solihull Taking me back 50 years :-) We had a brilliant maths teacher 'Swotty Ansell ' , he was old :-) Would join in mountain walks and get left far behind , passing us while we rested . 'Tortoise/Hare ' totally . Sadly , his last walk was near a canal :-( I think he would be happy .
That sure is one very nice looking boat, and it was good to see you enjoying it in such a relaxing style. I can well see you employing such staff as Colin to "cruise you around the cut" on your new glamorous super vessel when you come up lucky on the lottery. I hope it is soon. Many thanks. David in Dudley.
This was a wonderful video, thank you for making it. Your delivery was spot on, you gave neither too little or too much information _(though I'd personally like to know more about the power and engine configuration,)_ your tone was very calming and relaxing, the camerawork and editing were flawless, and you succinctly conveyed everything I wished to know about that man's work. Again, a great video with exceedingly little I'd chsnge or add. I look forward to seeing more of your videos, that's why I just subscribed. 😁
What a great job. I wonder what sort of insurance/s he has in case of any mishaps? Narrowboat Scarlet Lady was mentioned in another vlog, from memory I think it was briefly mentioned on an old Foxes Afloat video. I think that they were going to replicate the main berth design on their narrowboat. So It’s great to finally see inside Scarlet Lady. 🙂🐿🌈❤️ P.s thanks for telling me about the Readly app. I have a friend that feels bad about spending money on magazines about his various hobbies and interests. I’m thinking that this could actually be the perfect gift idea, and he’d have access to all of them and not have to just choose one or two, as he does, when buying them in hard copy. Yes, perfect. Thanks again David 🙂
I love readly! I have all my sailing magazines at my fingertips even if I have no internet out at sea! They have excellent articles on harbors/anchoring etc all over the world nd it’s so helpful when sailing to new destinations! Thanks for allowing this sponsor! 💙👍🏼
Hi David, fellow Readly subscriber here. I’ve been using it for about 5 years and I love it. Can I also suggest taking a look at Borrowbox which allows you to download books from your local library at no charge.

You may not own a boat but you seem to have no problem finding good content for the channel very entertaining thank you
Thank you!
That was the most genuine ad read I think I’ve ever seen from a youtuber. Bravo 👏

David, can you download a magazine issue for offline reading with that app?
A delightful video and bravo to that young man for spotting that business opportunity 👏
Thanks ❤
That was great David. I think this way of what you are doing things these days was the best decision. Your content has been wonderful. Thanks.
Thank you!
What an enterprising young man to come up with the idea of moving other peoples boats. Thanks for telling us all about it.
You are the perfect person to produce stories like this. Professionally trained presenter and very knowledgeable about the subject. 👍
Thank you
Reverse layout - much better access to tea and sandwiches for the skipper...lol
also wont track any dirt stuck to your shoes through your sleeping area.
I met him last year at Hatton Locks - top man!
A wholly pleasant young man, a beautiful boat and another chugging down the waterways - yes, it's a jolly vid from David. Lovely!
One of those things you probably never think about-moving boats. Connor is a professional, and someone who I feel I'd trust with a boat (if I had one)
That was my feeling about him too!
Awww thanks guys I do as they say go above and beyond 😊best way

It has been fine watching Connor move this fine narrowboat. Thank you for the tour inside,
Hi David... another great video ... and you are right, sometimes just being a passenger is best. Always fun watching!
That’s the first product I’ve ever seen advertised on UA-cam that I’ve gone and signed up for! Really impressed with it too! As always great video
Thank you! 😀😀
Delightful video and what an enterprising chap Connor seems to be. Really enjoyed his stories. This was great, David! And you did Readly proud too!

Works on any tablet or phone ;-)
You continue to come up with interesting and unique takes on the canals and canal boating. Nice video, thanks.
nothing like David on a Narrow boat. Love it !
Ah! you have discovered the "simple joy of being a passenger on someone else's narrowboat" David. I suppose I should not be surprised but I am as you have previously provided the virtual version of this delight to the likes of me over the last few years.

Brilliant boat and video - thank you 😃
What a great job Connor has. What a great contact to have if you're too busy to move your own boat. Thanks, David.
Well done, reminds me when you had your own boat.

There are some awesome nontraditional jobs in this world thanks for showing us another one wish i was younger and healthier 😀 keep on boating
Sweet gig. Good on him. Nice job David. 🎉
That boat is gorgeous!
Now that I have seen a newer version of a narrow boat, I am impressed!
Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely interior. Beautifully designed and crafted.
Good to see you nice and relaxed, on a narrow boat.🇦🇺🙏👍
Delightful as usual David, the only things missing from the tour was a heron and the cheese sandwich! Cheers, from David downunder in NZL.
Cheers!
Great video as usual. So enjoyed it.
Great video..this is a keeper..please do more of this kind of boat supporting industry ..vary nicely done..I think people would love this . and we still get boating adventures
Thank you!
Just like with Coalfinger, it's always lovely to know more about the people making a living through narrowboating. Thank you David!
Ok, I’m sold. Planning a narrowboat vacation…from the US, a little challenging, but I’ll prevail!
That was a nice episode about a profession I'd never imagine existed.
Even tho we have crews here in the U.S. who move yacths and other boats from cities and states to other cities and states or between other points professionally.
That particular narrow boat I'd love to own and live in in the Florida Keys.
A lovely boat to spend a nice sunny south Florida day at a sand bar party.
What a completely lovely trip! Just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. 😎💕😎💕😎
Nice one Mr. David. Tks for sharing!
Hi
This maybe one of your better vlog ( except all are great ) What a neat job - love the boat layout.
I like these videos absolutely the most. My first video of yours was Coalfinger, and this feels like a cozy reminder and followup in the same vein. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
What a great job. Excellent vlog thank u 🙏
Oooh. I've got a paid gig to move a boat for someone when needed but I've never thought about doing that full time.
Thank you David, this was a most interesting vlog. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Wow!!! Thank you, that's extremely generous and very much appreciated 😀😀

Another finely presented video. Fellow UA-camrs should take note.
A very nice video of a fine boat, lovely canals, and a most enterprising young man! Great job gentlemen.
What a pleasant job for a nice guy like Conor. Lovely boat too. Thanks for a decent cruising video, David - A nice relaxing start to the day
Lovely blog. Thoroughly enjoyable. CHEERS
What a wonderful video and chat with Connor. Great to see you back on the water.
Gosh, David, you just might be the world's top salesman, that pitch for Ready was over the top good. Awesome subject for the post, the lad moving boats for a living. Another brush stroke on the canvas old chap, very well done. Cheers.
I enjoyed this video immensely David well presented as yours are always the ad was good but Connor has a lovely job well done to him for thinking of it
Thank you it’s been hard work to get where I am but it’s paying off 😊
Thanks!! That was great!!
Oooo first narrowboat I have seen with Loxone on there for the control system & lighting! It is the way to go!
Connor is very enterprising and what a lovely life/job he’s established for himself. Bravo :)
Excellent video. Connor does a great job. Fabulous kind of work in the fresh air and scenery. Thank you David for another most enjoyable cruise and documentary.
A bloody good vlog David and it’s nice to see you promoting Services that you use. It’s about time!!! 😇
Love it when you cruise David. No one does it better.
Yes, Readly is great! And, of course, thanks for your video, as always. 😅
Thanks David, always fun to see what you are doing and to get ride too.
Nothing like finding a productive niche!
Interesting video… I imagine he has a steady work load for himself.
Thanks for sharing!
So cool to be in my old area , Shirley , Copt Heath ,our Old boys Club , Earlswood .
Made me look back , I crossed one canal everyday on my way to school for 10 years , just past the Rover Factory on my left heading into Solihull
Taking me back 50 years :-)
We had a brilliant maths teacher 'Swotty Ansell ' , he was old :-) Would join in mountain walks and get left far behind , passing us while we rested . 'Tortoise/Hare ' totally .
Sadly , his last walk was near a canal :-( I think he would be happy .
No one ever told me at school that I could have a job like his when I left school!
I really enjoyed this trip! Very educational!
I really liked this narrow boat. Great presentation David!
Once again informative and entertaining. Wish you well sir.
Wonderful boat
Isn't it?!
The variety of your vlogs never fail to surprise and delight. Thanks David.
Great video, a fascinating job.
What a fantastic job 😊nice video 😊thank you

What a great job. I wonder what sort of insurance/s he has in case of any mishaps?
Narrowboat Scarlet Lady was mentioned in another vlog, from memory I think it was briefly mentioned on an old Foxes Afloat video. I think that they were going to replicate the main berth design on their narrowboat.
So It’s great to finally see inside Scarlet Lady.
🙂🐿🌈❤️

Yes, perfect. Thanks again David 🙂
Yes, he has insurance! Great idea about Readly as a gift 😀
I wish we had them in the USA . Awesome looking boat.
Hi David!
That's quite a fancy boat, ins't it?
It certainly is!
Great video, glad to see you back on the water! 🤠👍
Connor's doing some good work on the canals. Maybe you could do a series on people who work on the canals or beside them David?
But that's exactly what I've been doing for the last two years!
@@CruisingTheCut Sorry,I haven't watched all of your videos.
Thank you. Enjoyed that.
A great video David. Interesting to see other peoples jobs. Also good information regarding the online magazines 👍
Thank you 😊
love these life on the canals by different eyes
So sorry to have missed you there. But lets hope for next year when we come to England again. But we saw Heidi at least and had a good laugh
You'd be hard pushed not to have a laugh with Heidi!
Love the video David - quite like old times, for both your viewers and yourself. Love it, but where was the cheese sandwich? :)
I brought one with me and had it when we stopped for lunch at the end! Connor made the tea.
😂 🙉
i was wondering the same thing
He declined 😅
