Heatwave (ROASTED in a narrowboat ) Stratford upon Avon Canal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- We restart our narrowboat journey on the Stratford Upon Avon canal at Kingswood junction and boy is it hot. In fact today has been declared a 'heatwave' in the Uk. We share with you some tips that we use to stay cool (well as cool as you can be in a black metal box) on our narrowboat.

The cats seem to enjoy their life aboard the narrowboat , they are cute !
I don't know if you will ever see this but I miss riding along with both of you on your adventures. I hope you are well and Alice and munchie. 🐾🐾
Looking good ladies,the weather ,the canal Lazy Days but you Annemarie and Kath outshine them all.So good to see you cruising to a destination instead of a water point
Nice to hear that you love your fans. I can assure you that your fans love you as well!
2 of the loveliest ladies on the canals. so nice to travel with
We agree!
I now have 2 favorite vlogs yours and cruising the cut. I enjoy the countryside and all the different critters you see along the canal. Take care. Dixon Ca.
Awesome! Thank you!
Yay for updated pins and hats (and yay for Kath not getting poked in the noggin by the pin back)! And Anna Marie, I was tickled by your comment about car interiors melting - I spend part of August in Nevada every year, where I've had my lab-certified digital meters reading >115F/46C in the shade outside. On a trip to London and Scotland in May/June 2001, Christy and I experienced "extreme" UK spring heat, which meant we were taking off our long sleeved shirts in London in the mornings during our touristy wanderings and tying them around our waists, while people at cafe's and such along the sidewalk melted into chairs and fanned themselves since it was mid80s/30C those days. Considering it was >100F/38C back home at the time, we considered ourselves very lucky with the temperatures. I remember when we left the train in Edinburgh and dug our jackets out of our bags, people were asking why we weren't hot - I think it was maybe 75F/24C when we left the train, but was forecast to cool off that evening. Can't wait to see the painting of the boat/bridge combo @ 12:35. And I was waiting anxiously to see the result of the inspection on the wood from 15:00! Good call on letting the dodgy wood stay on the side, Kath! I use those fans when camping in my small travel trailers, and have had good luck w/ the battery packs lasting overnight on lower speeds when you just want some air moving. Stay safe and hope you have great cruising weather! Hopefully when you make it down to the basin there's plenty of ice cream :)
Best part of my Sunday when you guys uploaded! Liked the video before even watching it because I know it will be amazing!! Glad your all happy and enjoying the sun!👍☀️☀️
You are too kind
Yep heat wave were I grew up in Australia usually 40- 45 degrees no relief in shade and cars tires, roads start to melt in the higher temperatures 30 is considered winter temperatures. Stay safe and hydrated.
Great point!
England gets disgustingly humid though, it's a different kind of heat. I've heard every nationality say it when they experience it, Aussies, Africans, South Eastern Europeans, all the people who do 40°C for breakfast say that 30°C+ in England is unbearable 🤒😓
@@Camberwell86 Exactly this... folks from hot and dry counties aren't used to humidity. The UK isn't exactly Myanmar, but it's pretty disgusting here when you get much above 30 degrees.
Top sides of the boat light color would help alot. Cream would look nice.
Morning Ladies. Love watching you on a Sunday morning. Starts my day beautifully.
Stay safe!
Good morning!
I love the stratford canal, they have tidied it up since the sixties when we used to canoe along, but still beautiful and full of memories.
Wow? great blog nice video love the cats they look happy and having fun? best wishes Ken and Christine
Beautifully recorded journey! I hope you are enjoying being able to move more freely now.
Yes! Thank you!
You guys just get better and better! Love this video, and plenty of tips for a boaty-to-be. Thank yooouuuuu x
Yay! Thank you!
I could watch this all day.xx
Thanks
That was lovely - thank you. So pretty and I love all the sounds of cruising on the canal. Great tips for dealing with the heat! X
Great to catch up with how the travels are going. Take care & enjoy the sunshine 🌞
Thank you! You too!
Well, the heatwave was short and sweet. We do need the rain though as it keeps our beautiful countryside so green and lush. Farmers need it as well but not too much. Nice to see you on the.move again and look forward to seeing your cruise down to S-u-A. 😎
Yes I think we are in for two rainy days now
I agree, a beautiful canal and looks lovely in the sunshine, although I can feel the heat on board.
🇺🇸We are having a “heatwave” here in Michigan also... high 80-90s.... I don’t mind as I grew up in Florida.... umbrella is a great addition to the boat... happy travels💜
Naw - that's not heat - THIS is heat! Just a takeoff from a famous Aussie quote. Here in Ontario, it's not the heat that gets you, but the humidity. The sun umbrella was a great idea, and with it tilted and the wind behind you - wheeeeeee! A technical question? Whose job is it to grease all those hundreds of flood gate gears? Great vlog as usual ladies. You help make my Sunday. here in sunny Collingwood, Ontario, where it's a delightful 23 degrees on the shores of Georgian Bay,
John, Ontario, Canada.
I love the Stratford too. I have drawings of the bridges I did as child.
It might be one of our favourite canals.
Enjoy watching your videos. So relaxing and calming.
Beautiful canal journey, love the new umbrella, and those clip on fans good ideas ladies.
Thank you for sharing. Stay cool.
Thank you very much!
What an enchanting vlog. Beautiful canal and scenery, delightful company and when Anna got her kiss, my wee heart grew 10 times and I got all warm and fuzzy inside. As for the 'heatwave', having lived just outside Adelaide for several years, no-one raised an eyebrow until it got to 50 degrees and above. Then everyone rolled up an masse to the shopping malls for relief lol.
Just watching them strut the cat walk at the beginning😽
Thanks you two are calm and I enjoy your videos.. thanks from Iowa
Love your channel, .. The Narrowboat Experience and Crusin' the Cut are the two best boaters Vlogs by far. I wish we had narrowboat canals here is the state of Missouri. (US) I would get a boat in a heartbeat. I love the comment, " .. didn't want to leave 5 million spiders homeless." You ladies are such funny, smart and creative people. The world needs more people like you two!
Truly lovely scenery! Thanks for the virtual tour + the tips. Yes, that bridge is absolutely gorgeous so I can't wait to see your finished painting.
Loved the tranquility of this episode!
Yes it’s one of the prettiest canals and it shows this the moment you turn onto it. Keep cool and stay safe.
Love the kiss....Thank you for sharing.
nice to be with you again. very interesting. thank you
Love your videos easy to watch with your gentle pace brilliant can’t wait for the next one 🌈😎😻
Oh thanks
Wonderful. I was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, so this would be my home canal
Watching your video is a great way to start the day. Have fun x
Yay! Thank you!
so much fun to be boating again... and yes the Stratford upon Avon ..... beautiful.
Always a pleasure watching and listening to you Guys , and of course seeing the beautiful Cats, the Painting of the Cat looked awesome too
Thank you very much!
Hello from Arizona usa where the high on Monday will be 103*f...39*c.....
Stay Cool in the shade
Drink Water..
THUMBS UP EVERYONE
Make rope fenders for the side of your boat, will save your paint work navigating locks!
Very glad it was an uneventful journey. Very well skippered!
I've traveled in sequence videos with you for hours! Just love your way of filming your experiences. You know the virus raged on in the USA all summer, so I'm still mostly quarantined for health reasons. Thank you for helping me stay sane! Just love you both. What an experience to be living this alternative life on these beautiful canals.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, ladies, another great video and catchup. So lovely to see your little cats taking over the boat in your opening scenes. They are just so cute and such companions. If ever I made it over there and onto the Cut (IF is a very important word) I could only stay a maximum of 6 months because of the Tourist Visas in the UK. I don't have any recent relatives that might give me the criteria for a longer stay, they left the Mother Country back between 1839 and 1862. Sigh. 6 months isn't long enough to see all I want to see, and chase down/up my Family Tree (mostly Wells and surrounding region plus London) and of course, get out on the cut. Looks like for the time beating I have to live vicariously through your clips as well as the many other Boat-Tubers that I regularly watch. Sigh.
Thanks again for the clip and the Tips on how to handle the heat. Annamarie, could you please let them all know just what it is like for a true Heatwave! I can well recall many years ago when it was 117F in the shade. Last year we had a week where it went over 40C each day. Now that is what I call a Heatwave. 30 is winter temps down here in Adelaide LOL
Beautiful as always, and lovely to see you on the move again. Such a gorgeous part of England. Funny to hear about a 30-degree heatwave. It’s going to be 40 this week here, and nobody’s complaining-not even Coco the Cat! Happy cruising!
So glad I found you two.
Cool for cats, (now there’s a song title). That picture of boat and bridge is on my list when you’ve painted it. Pleased to see you on the move and happy, Sunday’s are worth it again, 😎😻
Cool, thanks
Squeeze had a hit with "Cool For Cats" as both song and album.
always a delight to watch you ladies on the moove and the tips are wonderful always a blessing you are
Thank you
Great to see you on the move and happy
No, it's usless in Australia. I love watching how things are with you.
Now you have a parasol and if the wind gets up, maybe you will be parasailing. Loved the first minute of the video with my two favorite British waterway characters, Alice and Munchy. I am smiling.
Loved your video...you had me rolling with laughter at the sheep agility tests. We live on a widebeam based in Upton Upon Severn Marina. It’s a really lovely part of the world. We went to Stratford a couple of years ago up the Avon. So lovely. I look forward to seeing more clips...love your style. We hope to go up the Gloucester To Sharpness Ship Canal in August...it’s lovely and well worth a visit X
Brilliant! I loved the sheep agility and I was very disappointed that more people didn't find it as funny as me (including Kath)
Your filming has always been good, but just gets better and better. What a great start to the video as I sit down for my toast and cup of tea breakfast. Always enjoy watching, and yes your’re right what a beautiful canal.
Great ladies, another lovely vlog.
Purchasing 2 of the fans ready for the next hot spell ☀️☀️☀️
Change that, unavailable 😭😭😭
Thanks for the trip. Cheers girls.
Thanks for watching!
Great to see you out and about again ladies. Enjoy the journey and stay safe
Many thanks for another fantastic vlog full of beauty, calm and friendly companionship.
Our pleasure!
I always love seeing y'all! I remember being a teen and dealing with summers in Pennsylvania where 32-35 were the highs. It was difficult, though, because I was doing 10-12 hours of farm field work and our tractors didn't have cabs (the one I most often operated meant I straddled the transmission and hydraulic sump - hot!) I learned a lot about staying hydrated!
Oh, one I think you may appreciate: I finally properly asked my fiancée to marry me a few days ago. We had decided last fall that we would but due to my own emotions about marriage (having been married once before and all) I could only let myself make it about legal rights like next-of-kin. That changed for me recently and I realized that I far more deeply just want to be married to her!
Good to see you guys again. Your right about the heat 1990 Laura Qld was 50 degrees. Now that was hot. The Why do you think I want semi retire on a narrowboat. Lol. Your right it’s gorgeous. Hey Kath
Interesting!
You certainly have a lot more than 2 fans, out there!
Thank you for sharing ladies. Absolutely a lovely branch of the canals. Stay safe ❤️
30 degrees is a nice temp Ladies, good to see you are staying safe.
Thanks guys 😊👍❤️
Thank you for cheering me up as always, on yet another lockdown day. I look forward to every vlog so much! Beautiful footage & you two ( sorry, you four) are simply adorable.
Moochie and Alice, certainly deserve such great parents, hope I have their names right.... Thank you caring pet possessors, since no one owns anyone. Salute your message , love your caring.
Heatwave, it is 46C here in Virginia as I write. Using your roof top handrails, you could lace a tanneau cover for shade or an aluminized reflective mylar. The difference is noticeable.
Lovely to see you both out and about and looking so well among that beautiful senery what a great country we live in keep cool you two and the boss cats
Glad you enjoyed it
We own a wide beam boat and watching your videos makes us want to downsize to a narrow boat to explore the canals.
That bridge is going to yield some lovely paintings!
It's not just us who struggle in the heat...well apart from Anna Marie....but it is hard on the cats mine was very put out by it despite the fans running.....lovely volg as always you are always a delight to watch you are always so chirpy .. or upbeat for non UK fans
I do love your cats.
Always find your vlogs very interesting - Steven and Kim x
Glad you enjoyed it
Put a bowl of ice or something Frozen or ice pack in front of the fan, gives you a nice cool breeze like an A.C unit.
Well done! Extremely beautiful video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video try putting a bowl of ice or cold water in front of the fan😃
Enjoyed your video. It is nice to spend time with you on the canals. It is currently (14h30) 33.3C here in my forepeak cabin in the Virgin Islands. It is a beautiful day. Great for the solar panels. It doesn't feel too hot as I do have a fan blowing. Our cat loves the fan :) When we buy fans we look at the AC transformer and if their output is 12-14V we cut the AC plug off for another plug and hook it up to our 12V system. Thanks for drawing our attention to the USB/5V fans. I'll look into them.
I really enjoy cruising with you on your narrowboat. We’ve had triple digit (F) temps here in California; your heat wave with all the greenery around you looks might refreshing.
An overheated cat can be relieved by petting with two wet hands. It doesn’t soak them as if dipped in water, but the evaporating water does cool them.
It’s great that you share the sounds of the area: water, birds, engine, etc.
Here in Brazil, a heat wave usually means upward of 40 Celsius. 30 is a breeze.
Interesting!
You ladies are just too precious! I love watching your videos. I love in Texas, so a 30C day would be AMAZING (that’s about 86F). Those are hanging out in the yard enjoying the weather temps!
One way to get cats to hydrate more is to give them access to "running" water. This does not mean keeping a water tap open all the time, but rather get them a fountain that recirculates the same water. In the wild, cats equate running water with cleaner water, and either they are not smart enough (or they just don't care) to realize that they are hearing the same water bubbling over and over again. Keep it clean and full of water and I'll bet that they nearly double their water consumption.
I have so enjoyed watching your videos, Thank You so much for what you do, your soothing films have helped me in lockdown so much x. I feel like you guys and the cats are my friends. You have also opened my eyes to a whole new look at our countryside and transport network I had little idea about. Keep safe and keep boating!
You are so welcome
Well, I'd like to say we're having a heat wave here in Texas, but it's just a normal summer. 33C° today going up to 37° C Thursday. Keep safe and stay cool! Cheers! DonP
Hello Ladies, I’ve watched you on and off for a while now but today I subscribed because you are so happy and upbeat you always put a smile on my face. So thanks. I was wondering if you have done a video in the past on how you two actually met one another (unless you would rather keep that private) but it might make a nice “vintage” style video looking back if you haven’t already done one. Just a thought. Love the parasol, yellow and white, happy colours. Happy cruising🙋♀️
Welcome!!
Thanks for the new video. Always good to see lots of scenes featuring your fur-babies. :) Thanks for the fan recommendation, I think they'd be useful in our house for the coming Australian summer.
Glad you liked it
Great video so picturesque and tranquil it's just stunning i think the single locks just make it look even more special if thats's possible. Stay safe enjoy the scenery as much as we are thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
Very thoughtful including the cat trails along the sides of the boat 😊
Thank you for not leaving 5 million spiders homeless lol lol 🕷🕸🕷 bless you Kate xxxxx
those usb fans are superb. i bought one last year and they rock.
We really like them too
Morning girls from a wet dull day here in Ireland 🇮🇪. Have a good day. 😁
You have a good day too.
30°C is absolutely lovely weather here in the Philippines. We barely have that "Enlish Heatwave" here.. 33°C to 45" here most of the time. Enjoy the lovely English heat wave weather. Keep safe and
hydrated. Cheers
Love the fan I could say I'm one too but not sure how well the play on words would go down. Girls CAN do anything they set their minds to. Love watching from half a world away (I think our dead opposite is Denmark)
Good work girls - I really enjoyed that. -Thanks.
yes this is a very pretty canal. gotta love it.
Thank you so much!
Your cats are too cool! Mine would have bolted at some point.... 30 C = 86 F - in the US this is simply considered Summer! Heat Wave here is generally multiple days of 90 F plus in a row. I am sure it is hot in the boat though with AC not an option! Thanks for posting, very enjoyable video,
Good morning to you where I live about half way up the east coast or Australia we are in the middle of what we call winter 18degrees C if we were to go up to our grandson there lowest is about 22 or 23 degrees our higher we get this time of year is about 22-24 degrees ,at the moment I am watching you on the TV while I am also on my I Pad sending you this message ,enjoy the weather
Love these vlogs and lazy days is a beautiful boat
That is a very happy parasol! Love it. Looks awesome. Great vlog as usual. Hugs🇨🇦💕
Hi Ladies, it's very pretty Stratford upon Avon. Have not been there, but from your channel it's very picturesque. Love the colour of the parrosel. Sunshine colour. Them fans are good. Me and my husband have one each. Stay safe. Keep well. Susan Rob
Aww. Smoochies at 5:45.
You definitely have more than 2 fans on UA-cam . A heatwave in Australia would be 38c/42c so 30c is just warm for us . Thanks for your great vlogs :-)
So cool 😉
I grew up with Aussie heatwaves too ... so glad I live in Canada now! :)
I imagine 30°c is right warm for you folks, here in florida you would add in 75% humidity and it would feel 10 degrees hotter.. Ive often wondered why you dont add a shade (except for the solar of course) a pop up style tent or even a couple of pvc bows from gunwale to gunwale with a tarp stretched over them.. it makes a HUGE difference when Im out camping in my van.. if you use a canvas tarp you can wet it and the evaporation will increase the cooling effect underneath ... I agree the boat going under the bridge would make a great painting
