    Another quality vlog, well they all are really. I particularly like on your stills, the way you fade from colour to black & white and then back to colour, a really nice touch. Keep up the good work, best wishes to you both and the doggies.

    So beautiful and such good photography to go with it, a real pleasure to watch! I have to share a huge concern I have - it's so heartwarming to see all the birdlife on the canal, particularly the herons, but I've been hearing grim stories of sewage being discharged into waterways in the UK and recently saw graphic evidence of this in a video made by fellow narrowboat youtuber Narrowboat Will ("filfy fumbs up") on the Grand Union near Berkhamstead - all the fish in the pound dead. How disturbing, one wonders what the knock-on effects are for the ducks and the herons etc. Quite distressing.

    Learned a few things from your videos today - Nicholson Guides and Picadilly Circus. I looked into the Nicholson Guide and ordered right away. A bit spendy with a 9 pound shipping charge. You were queued at a lock behind seven narrowboats and you said it was a "regular Picadilly Circus." I had to research this a bit. I think I understand this colloquialism "a crowded mess of people, vehicles, shops and noise." Times Square for Yanks.

    • @onedaymoreaboard
      @onedaymoreaboard  10 місяців тому

      That’s exactly Piccadilly Circus! Your Nicholsons Guide is definitely worth the money. We sometimes used bookdepository.com when we lived overseas. They have free shipping and it sometimes came out cheaper overall even if the book was a little more expensive than other suppliers. You can now get down to planning. That’s part of the fun. You will have a wonderful time 😊

    I so enjoyed cruising along with you. I’m watching as I sit by a window with a wonderful summer breeze coming in through the screen, as I do a bit of embroidery, here in Cleveland, OH. I have a question….. watching you hustle towards a lock to get it closed, what happens if someone is boating solo? Who opens and closes the locks?

    • @onedaymoreaboard
      @onedaymoreaboard  Рік тому

      That’s so lovely to hear that you are enjoying the cruise with us and we can show you some of the beautiful scenery in the UK! Solo boaters will tie their boat at the lock landing. Then go and set the lock and open the gates, then go back to their boat and steer it into the lock. Then climb up the lock ladder, tie the boat, close the lock gates and fill or empty the lock, open the gates, climb back to their boat and cruise out of the lock, tie their boat up, and go back and close the lock gates. A very long process, so you can understand when we see solo boaters we always want to give them a hand to get through the locks 😊
