    Whoever it is that lives in the house with the view of the first bridge must have endless entertainment haha! They’re crazy low bridges!!!

    Wow! That was the closest ever to the underside of a bridge. Looked like you could not squeeze a piece of paper between the top of the cratch and the bridge. As always a brilliant Vlog to watch. ❤🧸🧸

      It felt so close too! 😮‍💨 thank you!! ❤️

      It looks like the bow of the boat sits a fair bit higher than the stern; are there any heavy bits of gear you could move fore to lower it a bit? Other than the engine and fuel tank(s), of course. Maybe even strap the rudder in place and BOTH of you go up front!
      If it was much closer you might have taken off the canvas covering to keep it from getting shredded.

    I've been watching your adventures for just over a year. In that time I have watched Wes develop into a brilliant helmsman, he can moor in spaces he has no right to attempt but drops the boat in so precisely. It has been great to see his confidence grow, a year ago he probably wouldn't have attempted those bridges, today he took them like a pro.
    Obviously he is ably assisted by a great crewmate, what a partnership! 😀

    I held my breath when you passed under the bridges! What a cute little frog that was! Godalming looks a really nice for a few days stay, another one for my bucket list of places to visit. Stay safe all of you. X

    Welcome to my world of worrying about low bridges! I’m really glad that you fit but that was very close! 😱

    • @monkeysuncle2816
      @monkeysuncle2816 Рік тому

      Might even consider an extra one up front for filling with canal water just for traversing the bridges, then pump it empty, after.

  • @captaindavejseddon8788
    @captaindavejseddon8788 Рік тому

    Well done troops. :) You could collect some rocks and boulders on your way back to weigh you down more to fit under bridges. Fill your water and fuel tank and shopping cupboards and stock up on strawberries and chips will help loads. :) hehe

    Hi Amy, Wes, Rufus and Dupes. What an exciting adventure. Well done for getting to the most Southern tip of the navigation. Those 2 bridges were really scary, but well done getting thru. Good idea to have filled your water tank to keep the boat low in the water. Excellent video, Thank you. Spoolbox.

    I was watching some of your older videos, the ones where you're travelling when it's dark or in a tunnel. I have some super bright LED 3,000 lumen lights I use for cycling that last up to 4 hours. In expensive on Amazon, you can mount them anywhere, might be good to have on your narrow boat the few times that you need them? Or where you're walking along a muddy towpath to go get your Tesco order a km away at midnight? 😊
