Very interesting video, I love the contrast old buildings , new buildings, graffiti, derelict land and buildings all seen from the water, plus all the different boats. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed your latest video, Canice. Great photography and editing. Nice to get on the canal again, even if it's a lot of hard work for you with all those locks. Interesting to see your surroundings, with history in bricks and iron. Many thanks, Joe F
Tell me about it. I have to find a spot before I move off…. The drone is an interesting addition, but it’s a lot to drive and fly at the same time! It’s a fun toy though!
Your hallmark "getting ready to sail" montage captivates me every time, yet this one eclipses its predecessors in charm and visual brilliance. First, I would like to include a word of caution to those youngsters: the "Wizard of the Waterways," at the helm of De Vrouwe Linda, wields the authority of a truant officer among his myriad roles-and yes, he could even officiate a marriage if called upon. Canice, while waiting for your latest Vlog, I felt a compelling urge to say “hi” to the Alchemist of the London Canals. Yet I paused remembering my last such impulse caused me to peruse Google maps for hours trying to match its street view with you panoramic shots. I undertook that digital marathon with the intention of sending a fig tree to you via Appleyard of London. I thought I could help encourage the transplanting of Jorga’s garden to Linda. But then I remembered you squeezing that big ol’ barge into those tight tunnels and under low bridges making a deck top arboretum unwise. Remember your camera (now a Don’tGoPro) hasn’t been the only casualty of tight squeezes. Not to mention, the Appleyard’s Nurseryman and I agreed that sending a fruit-bearing tree to UA-camr from across the Atlantic felt a little “Internet stalker” creepy. This time, I opted for a less intrusive means of extending a "Cheerio" from Texas. I know, "Cheerio" might not be a staple in British vernacular, but then Texans do fancy a "Howdy." As I am a ham (Uh… amateur radio operator - KD5FPA - what were you thinking?) I thought I could work the radio waves for a transatlantic “Howdy-Doo.” Inferring from your recent vlogs, Linda has pointed her bow northerly, I engaging my ham radio skills to target north London for a route to Linda’s marine VHF. *prepare for a plethora of Ham Radio jargon * I reached out through the K5SAG repeater in Saginaw, Texas, linking to the GB3LV repeater in Enfield, North London via EchoLink (Node 973404 to Node 155403). Nigel, N3YFX, answered my CQ. Our QSO was quite delightful until I broached the subject of relaying a message to a UA-cam shipwright and his centenarian barge. At that point, Nigel dismissed me as a wacko internet stalker and ceased all communication. Anyhoo, I must commend the latest episode's breathtaking canal cruise and exemplary videography. The closing scene with Jorga’s garden flowers was nothing short of genius, the pièce de résistance. And who knows? Maybe there's still room for a fig tree in that idyllic tableau. Till next time, Cheerio, Michael P.S. Is "Cheerio" actually a thing in the UK, or is it just a charming myth? P.P.S. And, do Brits genuinely name their offspring "Nigel," or is that another fanciful British myth? P.P.P.S. And, how many other offensive Texas myths about the UK have I perpetuated in my comments? I should be taken before the magistrate, and sent to the tower of London!
Hi Michael! How interesting. I didn’t know you could relay ham radios globally. So you’re from Texas. You’ll be delighted to know Cheery Ho is Elizabethan and probably earlier. Certainly Shakespeare used it. It’s not so common in England today, but way more common in Ireland. I use ‘cheerio’ in Ireland All children in England are called George, Henry, Charlie… etc. 😂😂😂
Why did I hear (or imagined I heard) the cormorant speak in Monty Python-french with a broad accent: "I shit on your water!" ? Like @frankboff8185 I love to see Londons diversity as you cruise. Have a great week Canice.
Looks a pretty stretch of the canal to moor along Canice. How long do you think it will be before you have Linda ready enough to move onto? As always thanks for another entertaining video, it’s much appreciated! Steady as you go Captain 😉
I’ve given up on having time lines, covid ended those dreams. Sadly, I have to just keep chipping away at it. Finances and time and other issues out of my control are causing delays at the moment ….
So many adventures you have.... I am envious... except for the dead camera.. ouch! Drone work and barging in a lock.. you do love the challenges don't you. Very nicely done Canice!
@@canicebannon Been there and done that many times. you never know when it will get flighty and go look for flowers.. I have had two fly offs which scared the crap out of me. I was able to catch it quick but damn. You in that constricted space .. it just makes it harder for you. Hang in there!!!
@@rareairvideos3070 what do you mean when you say fly off. Is that where it goes to home base and you’re not where you started…. (This is how far behind on comments I am!😂😂😂😂)
@@canicebannon You have so much work with editing and being that supreme influencer.. wink wink. Watched the Strontrace many times.. ok all of the vids many times.. I can totally understand getting behind with the so much going on. Fly off.. YEP... pretty much when the drone just says.. Nope.. those trees over there look awesome.. I'm going over there.. and keeps going.. Mainly its a loss of control from the base station and it forgets where it is and fly's off. A quick reset of the base station usually catches it. I have had two. Scary both times.
Love the drone shot of the side view of Linda. She looks wonderful. The cruise was breathtaking loved the variations of the building and scenery in general. Some areas look so private and what I would picture in the country, like where the birds were. I am relieved 😅 that you didn’t get stuck under the bridge. Sorry about the Go Pro 😢. At 3:56 under the bridge was a lot of pallets, it almost looked like someone had made a home there. Is that possible? Very good navigating through the locks and piloting the drone 🤩 Hope you continue to have some sunshine Canice. 😊🤗 Kathy
Well spotted! The pallets is some guy building something. There is some notice saying it’s a campaign against affordable housing…. I doubt it though, which is why I didn’t dwell on it. They like having a fire under there, which is very illegal and the whole thing could go up in flames resulting in the closure of the Underground District Line. The camera was old and I was surprised it’s lasted this long….. We are having some nice weather at the moment. My kitchen counter is looking lovely now that I can sand with doors open and a breeze blowing through.😀
Talk about multi-tasking! Drone pilot, boat skipper, lock-keeping; I don’t know how you do it. It’s always really interesting to see the variety of craft moored up.
Glad the sun is shining, kids are safe and the canal has been cleaned up, and the birds are chirping and not so glad your first GoPro broke and your adventure was stopped. . . we looked at where you are on google maps, nice spot, very interesting.
Love the engineering of the mast design, when you lower it, it just goes to show how clever the boat builders were. Take care of yourself regards as always Alex and Maria
Again an interesting trip. In the near future, the DAF has to put to real work, it's getting lazy and dirty inside! Wish you green trees, chirping birds and a lot of sun!
I’ve come to a new theory, that I ran the diesel tank down to fit the stand pipe for the heater, the lack of diesel means the fuel pump is drawing the diesel uphill and is affecting the fuel supply. There’s no external pump on the engine. I’m about to order diesel to fill the tank and I bet that sorts out the poor starts…. I think…😂😂😂
Great editing. I look forward to my Sunday morning every week. Please keep them videos coming.
Will do! 😀 Thank you Bill!
Very interesting video, I love the contrast old buildings , new buildings, graffiti, derelict land and buildings all seen from the water, plus all the different boats. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Frank! It is a very interesting place. However, it is changing very fast…. This area in the throes of classic gentrification!
Great video, as usual!
Thank you!
That’s just funny leaving the horn on the mast 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
It’s still up there… I need rope ladder! 😂😂😂
Enjoyed your latest video, Canice. Great photography and editing. Nice to get on the canal again, even if it's a lot of hard work for you with all those locks. Interesting to see your surroundings, with history in bricks and iron. Many thanks, Joe F
Hi Joe! Thank you, it’s always nice to have that first warm ish cruise. Many more to come….
Hi Canice A lovely day for a short cruise and the sun has got his hat on.just for you Cheers
Hip, hip, hip, hooray! The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play!😂
I must get a drone. Great shots. It can be such a mission moving a boat in London. Just getting a good spot is like winning something. 😂😂
Tell me about it. I have to find a spot before I move off…. The drone is an interesting addition, but it’s a lot to drive and fly at the same time! It’s a fun toy though!
Nice vlog, great filmning!
Thank you Lars!

Dutch barges seem to be getting popular! Thanks for the vlog.
Dreamers and lunatics have Dutch barges. 😂😂😂
Very few old wide beams available in the UK….

So many adventures you have.... I am envious... except for the dead camera.. ouch! Drone work and barging in a lock.. you do love the challenges don't you. Very nicely done Canice!
The drone was supposed to follow autonomously and it kept disconnecting…. I’ll figure it out eventually….😂😂

Wonderful, thank you from an NB on The Cov.
You’re very welcome. Been there. Love the Cov!👍
Well, I sure have to give you points for single-handing Linda in such tight quarters. Well done.
Take it slow and it’s easy. 😀
Enjoyable video, thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!
Talk about multi-tasking! Drone pilot, boat skipper, lock-keeping; I don’t know how you do it. It’s always really interesting to see the variety of craft moored up.
He is the Splendid Sorcerer Shipwright!
I don’t know how I do it either! 😂😂😂😂
Glad the sun is shining, kids are safe and the canal has been cleaned up, and the birds are chirping and not so glad your first GoPro broke and your adventure was stopped. . . we looked at where you are on google maps, nice spot, very interesting.
Victoria Park is a nice area! Lot’s of joggers 🏃.
Love the engineering of the mast design, when you lower it, it just goes to show how clever the boat builders were. Take care of yourself regards as always Alex and Maria
Thank you Alex and Marie! It is a lovely bit of engineering!
Pirate Restorer underway and making some way. Glad the rain abated for your adventure to a new moorage. Smooth sailing.
It feels like spring is sprung. Until the wind changes direction!😂😂😂
You pump out solution is really clever. Makes great sense for how unreliable the facilities are in London
Yes. Learned from bitter experience. It’s not difficult to set up retrospectively. Jabsco sell the macerator pump.
nice little cruise
Thanks Kevin
Googmorning everyone!
Good morning!😂😂😂
A lovely romp through spaces that seem much too small for Linda. 😂 Was guano an intended theme, or did it just...uh...drop out of the sky?
It only became apparent in the edit that there was a lot of pooping going on in this video… I did consider it when choosing the thumbnail….😂😂😂
You ended up mooring right next to my brother's house!
Is he overlooking Victoria park?
Again an interesting trip. In the near future, the DAF has to put to real work, it's getting lazy and dirty inside! Wish you green trees, chirping birds and a lot of sun!

I think…😂😂😂
So your Go-pro is now a Gone-pro
Hahahahaha! Gone-pro! Love it!😂😂😂
I was going to say something about birds and bushes,,,but nothing appropriate came to mind!
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush? Pure filth!😂😂😂😂
That's now a "No Go Pro!"
no go pro bro🤣
Before the GoPro died it shouted out “stop amateur”!
The barge you past I built the cabin and fitted her out
You built Bestaver? Wow good job. Hinton seems like a nice guy.
@@canicebannon didn’t know she had been renamed I have a lot of photos she was a wonderful project
Sad to see the state of England's water ways...💩 everywhere!!!.😪
I know…..😞
Slainte !
Slainte !
Slainte go foill…
