    I had a friend's birthday party in Kent to attend so once again needed to put the boat somewhere secure while I left it for a few days. With the next marina on my route being at Alvecote this seemed like the obvious solution, and from there I'd get a taxi and train to go and pick up my campervan before driving down south.
    Upon my return, I continued journeying along the Coventry canal, now heading west, stopping a few hundred yards short of Fazeley Junction, having gone through the two locks at Glascote.

    When do marinas typically require you to leave during the day to not be charged for another day?

    An MTO roadtest every year?! In Germany we have to do it with car and motorbikes every 2 years and trucks every year. . .

    Thanks!

    Among absurd associations, hearing you introduce the various sounds had me thinking about Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, where the (usually extremely British) narrator introduces the various instruments depicting the animals 😁 Anyways, cheers and happy holidays; hope you're treating yourself to some extra generous cheese sandwiches

    Having watched many Cruising the Cut episodes I am very impressed with the flat-calmness of the canals. My history in the ocean is high winds, waves, tides and....high winds. The calmness of the canals makes me want to come to England and spend time Cruising the Cut. As always, well done David J.

    Note - I’ve been rewatching your videos, from the very beginning (a very good place to start).

    Why are marina entrances always so narrow?

    Watching this again David, after hearing of tragic news that Rick of supply boat Ilford past away on the 12 of January 2023. Thoughts to his family and friends.

    Why do boats drive on right side and on land vehicles drive on the left?

    Does a double gin and tonic mean two shots? If so, I could hang with that gin club.

    Do you think the CRT monitors the narrowboat vlogs for areas that need attention? If they do, perhaps they might discount your licence or you could claim it as a contribution for tax filings.

    Any single Screw boat will feel the effect of the prop torque in reverse. You can use it to your advantage at times.

    How much diesel do you burn per season? Or hourly fuel usage on your lister?

    I notice that you Brits got it right when you are in your boats rather than your cars. Staying to the RIGHT !!! Just a little American humor.

    My blood pressure drops down to where it should be when watching any of your vlogs - thank you.
