The vast majority of people encountered along the cut are lovely and always happy to help and add to your day. Sadly, there are a few 'bad apples', as you called them, no matter where you go. We've met our fair share of them too. However, the friendly people far outnumber the miseries :)
We have met some wonderful folk while cruising the country, so many willing to give you time and energy. I hope the unhappy boater was just having a really bad day, would like to think they are not always like they were 🙏
I bet you meet less Bellends on the canals and rivers than we do in towns and cities, sadly we have them everywhere, and like you say at least on a boat you can move.
Good video, it always amuses me when folk panic mooring at a marina.. true a 70 foot requires that extra special touch, but punting, seen in my latest vlog is always a winner and less of a disturbance to other vessels nearby… sorry to hear you had hassle from another ‘user’ … not worth mentioning.
Helloooooooooo just watched this video of yours for the first time. Am going to like and subscribe. There's a lot of @rse hole's on the canal that like to upset your day. Am on the Grand Union Canal, love your puppy dog. ❤
There’s miserable angry people everywhere these days so why should the Canals and Rivers be any different ?. Unfortunately I think as more and more people move onto the waterways because it’s supposedly cheaper than living in a House and then they find out it’s not as peaceful/tranquil and inexpensive as they thought, it’s going to get worse and worse 🤷♂️. People go into the Canals and Narrowboating with a Romantic mindset and they don’t realise how much hard work they are going to have to put in keeping their Boat running and in Good order 🤷♂️.

@@Lard2112 for sure and I think that's what makes it all the more shocking when it happens. 🥺
Hi hope you reported that fool to the C A R T. Best wishes 😊
Being on the canal for 20 years never had any serious bother..it's easy to avoid the tiny minority of idiots.. good luck
I will wave at Dan a hundred times! Hello Dan! 😂
🤣🤣 I think you just made his day 😊

Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I think they were using something that's for sure 🤓
Just subscribed. Enjoying your vlog. I hope you have an uneventful year.
Thank you 😊
We wouldn't want it too uneventful or you'll have nothing to watch 😊

That's any dream. They all take work and effort to materialize. Boat stands for
Break
Out
Another
Thousand
No dream is cheap or easy.
You're not wrong there, but we knew what we were getting into. Eyes wide open and all that :-)
Before the boat we were renting in the south of England, compared to that the boat costs much less. So for us it has made a big difference :-)
Where is the video footage of what happened? (Are you sure it really happened?)
