BOAT LIFE: When Boating Doesn't Go To Plan! | French Canals | 105
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Boating and boat life is about freedom and getting away from the constraints of city life. However when we take our floating home into a city, things take a turn for the worse. This week in our canal boat life series, we're passing through the centre of Toulouse, which marks the junction between the Canal du Midi and the Canal de Garonne on the French Canals. However, life on a boat does not always go to plan, and we end up coming across a major issue!
Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe and leave a comment!

Each canal week I am more and more surprised how much I enjoy your canal videos!! Well done!!
Cheers mate
It must be just wild to have traffic under you, over you, beside you, just every where and you are in your boat. It is "wild" to watch! I am really enjoying this series....
Thanks Judy. Glad you’re enjoying it
Great video you two! Terysa has come through where a passerelle would not even have helped. What an athlete she is climbing on and off the boat many times. The lock system is amazing to see. I traveled all through Italy, and France in the 1970’s on land not even knowing about the lock system. Thanks for bringing it all to light.
Boating over a freeway was just insane to see. I have really enjoyed this series.
Thank you mate
Ocean-going vessel going over the motorway. You have officially nailed the epic moment. Fantastic adventure!
Cheers
That is so crazy seeing a boat above a busy highway!
It was a real mind blower
I just drove my sister to Chicago O'Hare Airport yesterday and a jumbo jet was going over the bridge as we drove under. I've seen it dozens of times but it never fails to freak me out.
Wonderful watching your passage through the waterway and the locks. The two of you are really good!
thanks so much mate
Have to say, "thanks Nick for continuing to pick up Terysa! Channel wouldn't be the same without her" - the meetup in Annapolis wouldn't have been as fun either!
Haha, cheers mate. I kept throwing her off and she just kept running back. 🤣🤣🤣
@@sailingrubyrose Don't kid yourself - it's the boat she was running back to!
From the mid Atlantic to floating over a French motorway. Your boat is one of the most versatile vehicles on Earth!
Oh she is.
@@sailingrubyrose All I have to say is a BIG BRAVO to both of you! I really enjoyed your video. It reminded me the trip I did with my boat in our TrentSevern Waterway in Ontario, Canada. If you are planning to come to Canada, don't miss this one. Btw, is your boat a Southerly Yachts Sailboat?
This looks awesome! Really inspired to do the French canals now!
You must be terrified of damage to your boat, especially when you’re sharing locks. Regular canal boats are made to take a bit of a battering so I suspect not everyone is as careful as you! Great series 👍
Great video. Beautiful scenery. Loved it.
Good idea for getting back onto the boat is, old car tyres wrapped in hessian, you can step INTO them and they also act as fenders.
Next time mate
that would be insane to be on the highway and see a boat going over. I have seen jets on access roads at JFk, and that is amazing.
That monastery looks like where they film the few scenes from the movie Last witch hunter with Vin Diesel
Just terrific stuff Brian. Well done. Real world experience. There is no substitute.
Brian again!!! Where is he now???😀😀
Thanks for putting this video up
As you can imagine, it really cheers me up sat here looking at the rain coming down x
Haha. Stay dry mate
You could say, the guy in the barge who had his prop fouled, had nothing "to lose" 😂😂😂😂😂
Fantastic piece of engineering! 😀👍
You have inspired us to rent a hire boat in the Canal Du Midi for our 30th wedding anniversary next year. We will be one of the "Student Drivers" in a Locaboat. Sail on!
Awesome. So so pleased for you. Enjoy it, its amazing.
Like Nick, I was waiting with bated breath for the aqueduct across the motorway! I can't claim to have boated over a motorway, but in terms of awesomeness, crossing the Farraka Barrage over the Ganges in India on the Darjeeling Mail train never fails to wow me. It's like crossing an inland sea :)
Wow, that sounds pretty cool! We actually met on a boat trip down the river Ganges, so there you go 😊
@@sailingrubyrose that is the coolest meeting location ever! 😃
Delightful, thankyou
Thank you
It's still hard to believe that you two were taking the Ruby Rose thru the french canal system, what an adventure.
Bet those electronic gates were your best friend :):),keep giving him a big smile when he lowers you down .
You two are an amazing team.
Keep up the amazing vlogs.
Nick looked like he was ready to extract a couple of molars from the barge skipper without administering lidocaine and stitching things up after the act.
Ah, we were fairly calm at this point. Nothing we could do
Haha, never a dull moment! Excellent production quality on your vids, sound, editing etc. Well done, thanks for your efforts!
What a rich and wonderful trip! Camera work---super clear! Congrats
Love to hear Terysa talk, could listen to her talk all day, very nice
Me too mate
Don't cast him off, you two make a great couple! Lovin' your vids, thanks for posting. :-)
Cheers mate!
Love watching y’all handle the locks!!
nick, get a folding step stool from whatever the big box equivalent is over there. the kind you use in kitchens with two steps. lock the folder in place so it doesnt fold and hang it over the bow against that fender step you made. voila - portable steps for teresa!!! hand it off to the next boat when you get to the end.
Looks awesome.
Wow! What a challenge Toulouse was! You're quite brave taking the whole canal thing on! Loving the videos.
Cheers all
So cool that you speak French. I'm sure I've seen you also speak very good Spanish too right? That heightens this experience no end I expect.
It does make it easier mate
@@sailingrubyrose ah not just easier, I'm sure that it completely changes the experience to be able to enjoy these countries on that level. It'd be like seeing in colour vs black and white. Hearing conversations, interacting with the locals on a much better level etc. I'm jealous
Another beautiful video I could watch for hours Cheers
Thanks mate. We have a slow tv episode coming out. You may get your wish
Great video!
Cheers
Hahaha love the Terysa Retrieval Device" Nick!!! Great episode guys !!
You guys are so calm going through the locks now, quite the change from the first few vids where the stress levels were through the roof. BTW, love your boat reviews, best information out there.
Thanks mate
Great work thanks
the scenery is stunning
Love, love, love this journey, such a beautiful place. One day.
OMG, your videos of the canal trip are such a wonderful change from regular cruiser videos. Thank you, I'm really enjoying this trip.
Glad you’re enjoying them mate, we had a Blast
We just love following you too the boat isso nice, cant wait for the cat. Now one small critizim..... that moustache.....maybe its a shadow.....dont do it.... lol love ya both. Hugs from Canada
There is no graceful way to climb onto a boat but Terysa is among the best.
Oh she is mate
That would be my luck..driving down a freeway minding my own business & a bloody yacht falls on me?
Bit of Aussie humour there.
Loving this series guys.
Best Wishes
Aussie Mick
Amazing! They knew where the highway would be in 1683!! Building that aqueduct over the blank spot in the country side must have seemed so wasteful!! [Just in case: /s]
Guys, I hope the French tourist board appreciates your efforts for them and contributes towards your expenses (LOL) As usual GREAT video !!
thanks mate
Great job your first mate does an outstanding job.
Thanks mate!
She's been outstanding on the bank for nearly this entire series..
Nice video thanks
Excellent edit! Music selection was very complimentary!
Thank you!
Nice! Looks like fun, that canal.
Happy greetingz, Wim
Tony & Susan here, Nick your french is vary good. The tunnels and bridge pass thru's seam vary tight, Defiantly sounds like a city , Almost time to head to the Abaco's , if there is one or two places left from the hurricane.
Yes indeed. A far cry from the Abacos
Great music choices this episode...
Great video, I love it...
Boat overpass. 9:15. Over a 6 lane Freeway..!! 😳🤓✅
Nuts isn’t it?
Those barges remind me of Duncan Mcleod's houseboat in Highlander.
Now THAT is a good film
Is; always not long enough, compliment enough. Thank you.
We'd love to make longer episodes! We hope to be able to do this in the future- stay tuned 😊
Quite a challenge at times it appears. Safe travels. ⛵
At 09:13 in this video: THAT is ONE INSTANCE where a _VERY wet overpass_ is NOT a hazard at all...😊😊😊
Similarly crazy sight is in Holland on the road looking up at an ocean-going ship in a canal above
Wow! So cool!
That was wild watching you guys go a cross the highway in a sailboat.
Crazy isn’t it ?
We've been stuck for 3 hours 2 blocks away from my house, next time come and have a coffee at home...but with the catamaran it's not gonna be easy...😱
In sailing couples, shouldn't Nick be handling the locks etc and Tyreza the navigation of the boat?
Another wonderful video.
Thank you so much
Another well edited episode, thanks for taking us along on the adventure. Do like to see planes or ships sailing over roads, T is right though, the road way through the airport in Gibraltar is unique.
It’s pretty crazy going over that
Did I miss the locks where Nick was running around?
Nah mate, he was busy helming! I prefer my job to his, any day!
He was in the galley making a sammich!
Nice watched this again most interesting.
Thanks for the video fascinating.
Nice job on the video
Cheers
Wow. The sky looks like a tic tac toe board at the beginning of the video.
I’m so enjoying watching the two of you on this loching adventure. I love how y’all take everything in stride!!! I’m curious, how is the water? Is it brackish?
No mate, totally fresh
Félicitations Nick, tu parles bien français. C'est toujours pratique de parler une autre langue. I was told one could ship the mast by truck at the other end of the canal system. Have you checked this out and how much was it to do so? Thanks, Cheers and Bon Voyage, Richard
yes mate, we were going to transport the mast but got let down by the company last minute
@@sailingrubyrose Nick, how much were they asking for the transportation of the mast all the way to Bordeaux? Thanks
Use a standup paddleboard to get back on.
Amazing :-)
Thank you 4 sharing.
Jay
A pleasure mate
Nice change of pace to get back to ‘Le Midi’ - Terysa, do you miss the lock workouts?! 😂
Great to see good team work
I thought it was neat that the cars were zooming by as you strolled down the canal. Very unusual video but enjoyable.
This video best enjoyed with tea and biscuits....it's beautiful, guys. Thanks for the video - much appreciated.
Ooh, love a good cup of tea and some biscuits!
Absolutely essential kit is a very fat round fender for the bows. It'll help keep the mast-head off the wall. By the way when you leave the canal du midi at Toulouse don't you go into the canal lateral a la Garonne?
Great episode guys. How about just using a paddle board to get off and back on?
That would be one solution. Not sure it wouldn’t make life more complicated though. Good idea though mate
Were there places to fuel along the canal route to fuel? Did you have to walk into a town for fuel, or do you just have exceptionally large diesel tanks?
As always, love the videos!!
Yes there were good fuel stops
Wow imagine diving in that canal. Poor buggars
@Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose >>> HOW to get back on the boat, post-lock?
Uh, _POLE VAULTING?_
😝😝😝
On a SERIOUS NOTE, could you use a _stand up paddleboard?_
A classmate of mine is a lock operator on the Mississippi River for the Army Corps of Engineers. Definitely going to be dropping the French title for that job on him from now on. Thanks for teaching me something useful this week!
Glad the prop entanglement wasn't yours! So, how are things in Thailand?
Amazing. Food is fantastic
I don't think I would attempt the French canal after watching these videos. The French canal seams much more stressful and complex than the Erie canal.
Try the river Shannon in Ireland, its not as busy and there 6 locks, nice and handy
10:51 - 10:56. that's Mark Ruffalo!
A big thumbs-up What a Beautiful video beautiful country and it's not everyday that you cross a six-lane highway and I sell boat
Haha. It was a real min blowing experience
The South runway for Fort Lauderdale Airport goes over US1 and a train track. It also goes up hill to slow the jets down some. Amazing feat of engineering.
New sub here. I see you comment on other sailing channels and decided to check you out. will have to binge watch the whole channel now. cheers.
Well welcome my friend.
They are one of the BEST to binge!
@@sailingavocet Sweet. Lol if they turn out to be duds, i'll check yours out. j/k.
So you weren't able to stop even for a moment to see any of Toulouse? Seems sad, I'd want to just step off for an hour. You were on a tight schedule? Blessings! Q
We had places to be unfortunately
@@sailingrubyrose I've been watching Cruising the Cut with David Johns & The Narrowboat Experience w/ Annamarie & Kath on youtube, both English canal boat vlogs, so since seeing you both go thru the French canals I've wanted to see all those sites, too. I'm too greedy! LOL Hope you had fun here in the states on your short jaunt. Peace. Q
Simply beautiful scenery. Is it essential that you speak French to travel the canals ??
Not at all! But it always helps if you can speak the local language, even just a few words goes a long way 😊
Hey guys, I saw a reply from you on a video with a fake/funny AF news update about the SLV and GT trip thing. Typical aussie piss take humor on it, really enjoyed it. I cant find the Channel again now or the video so I'm afraid its been taken down. Is there any chance you know what it was, the channel?? Hard to find good Aussie humor online and when its mixed in with sailing stuff its golden, no idea why I didn't sub on the spot. Hoping you can direct me in the right direction.
On another note, I love the French canals series however it was something my father was planning to do with my mum and various extended family members in retirement before he passed away so its mixed feelings being pretty awesome seeing it as well as sad that he isn't around to do it now or just to see it through your videos. So thankyou, you have convinced me that I will have to go get it done for him now.
Hey mate, it was on Sailing Nandjis UA-cam channel. They took the video down as they were getting a lot of grief over Mentioning SLV. Don’t blame them at all. Either way, the video is gone
@@sailingrubyrose Yea, people will be people, it's sad people having a go at each other over trivial stuff, IE: SLV making content and the people making content off their content, its at both ends when you think about it. End of the day, you gotta recognize as they pointed out that SLV is more a business nowadays, I dont think they were unfair I think they stayed fairly neutral so no need to have a go at them for it, it was entertaining.....
Nothing against SLV, someone lines up a deal where you are the walking advertisement for a company offering you a 1 mill US boat and all you gotta do is make repayments and keep making videos and any/everyone would take that deal. It's pretty straight forward works both ways for the SLV crew, they get a shinny catamaran that enables them to grow their "brand" and make lots of money while flogging that brand and continuing their adventure. That brand gets a walking advertisement that pops up near the top when people search youtube and glorifies the lifestyle, getting them more sales lol.
People that knock them for what they have done gotta think, what would I do, answer is sign on the dotted line and roll with the punches lol. Same time though, SL fancrew gotta recognize that they are no longer what they were when they first set out. They are earning over 10k USD a week from patreon for making a 12-15 minute video per week and to do that they need to stay close to their demographic between the US and the EU where people have disposable cash to throw at the dream they are portraying. That is without youtube add revenue. If it wasn't for that keeping them tied up to a location and a format that brings in that income for them then with a 6 month old kid its hard as all fk to get back to what they were originally, a kid ties them up even more to locations with access to healthcare etc.
Either way, SLV is no longer what they started out as. People gotta recognise that and not flame others when they highlight that while making their own content, especially content that has a surf report and invites you to have a frothy. All class when your closer is telling people to have a drink.
1:05: Yep, she is hitchhiking hahah
.
Hello guys.! Is there a map where we can see the canals you have taken and plan to take?
We'll be putting out a more information-heavy episode in a few weeks with lots of, well, information including maps!
Ruby Rose plays Batwoman these days on US tv. She`s Australian I think. I clicked because I thought that maybe this channel was hers. LOL.
Christ, what a disappointment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sorry mate it’s just us jumping on and off boats in France
@@sailingrubyrose Oh, dont get me wrong, i`m not sorry I did, because I subscribe to many sailing channels anyway. I`m an ex US Marine and I had to spend a lot of time on US Navy war ships and carriers, so I do have my "sea legs" now, although it did take a while.( translate that to mean a lot of vomiting in the head). I love your sailing style and format and the stress of navigating those narrow channels. I live in Southern California , on the coast, but I have not taken advantage of that and gotten a boat yet. Look me up folks if you`re ever in CA. and i`ll buy you a pint.
Wow did you have any fun? Saw more Locks than the country. Where is the fun?
The whole journey along the canals was incredibly fun, and a totally different experience for us. We loved it!!
How does the canal replenish its supply of water, notwithstanding rain? And, were there different canal odors as you moved up/down the canal? :¬) Webhead USA
The canals are fed by rivers in the areas
I could live there year round!
Why can't Nick do the locks and struggle to get back aboard or do what the mountaineers climbing Everest do when crossing those crevasse's Use a ladder :-), they should have designed the banks to accommodate sailing yachts 300 years ago.
Fair point mate. They should have indeed
You should have tried pole jumping off and back on the boat ! (Good preparation for the Olympics pole vault competition... 😉
Now why didn’t we think of that l? 🤣🤣
