It would not be wise to operate the boat and a drone single-handed, your attention would either be on one or the other and that would not be safe. AND now see vlog 249 which is an updated version of vlog 66 for 2021. David always had an interest in media - his earliest broadcasting recollection is sitting in his childhood bedroom DJing a 'radio show' to his mum downstairs via a pair of kids walkie-talkies - so today he creates videos about canals, narrowboats and life afloat on his YouTube channel Cruising The Cut, and about his DIY campervan conversion at Thank you! My wife and I really enjoyed your show on Amazon Prime and hope to see another season.

Where does the water come from to supply the canals? I dont get anything if the viewer presses Skip on the adverts so if you like my videos, Id be grateful if you could grit your teeth and try to let at least some of the advert run!The sums are tiny; its a fraction of a penny for each advert view, so you need tens (hundreds!) The sandwich default is un-heated in any way. Hi Ian; to be honest, history per se is not really my thing so I doubt Ill do much on that (other than by virtue of the canals being historic in their very nature) but I hope to come up with some stuff of interest, well have to see! Heres to 2022! Camera wont pick anything up. English. Can you drive a narrowboat in the dark?Technically you can but I dont. Why dont you have / fit a bow thruster / trolling motor?Although many (generally newer) narrowboats have bow thrusters, it would be near impossible to fit one onto my boat without some major, and expensive, surgery.

Im sure I speak for lots of us in that we will miss your happy face and funny escapades. Boats that move around do not since they are not resident in any council area. Bear in mind the canals are entirely man-made and were quite literally dug out by teams of thousands of men a couple of hundred years ago, using pickaxes and shovels.

You have a unique talent that will be greatly missed on the West side of the pond. Consider two, 57-foot-long boats coming from opposite directions. Unfortunately I cannot as I have never used any of the rental companies myself so I cant in good conscience recommend any. See Lornas (London Boat Girl) video about voting here. Thus, I was drawn to your series during the past pandemic which is thankfully over here now for all of us vaccinated oldsters (had my third shot last week, a booster nine months after my two shot series in January and February of this year.)

Do the canals ever flood? David is survived by. Not good to have a boat you totally cant use. He really knows how to present a subject well and can do interviews and report on the goings on along the canals in a professional way. Best wishes. I wish you that your new subject for videos gained even a bigger audience. Can you take a narrowboat to sea?People have done taken narrowboats across the English Channel but it requires extensive preparation and some alterations to make them seaworthy as well as a calm day and nerves of steel.

Those are most kind words and much appreciated. Thank you for a lovely gentle series of programmes. Dont be afraid of covering the same ground time and time again. You were terrific! Enjoy the down time, and the new ideas and new adventures and look forward to seeing your first vid in new series. Theyre really not designed for water thats not totally flat calm, and typically have holes in the hull (eg for sink waste outlets or engine cooling vents) just a few inches above the waterline so any waves could easily flood the boat.

Memphis, Tennessee 38120 I had to laugh at your comment about being a dab hand at removing a bra one handed when going through Birmingham and getting one stuck in your prop. Also, due to the shallowness of much of the canal network, any blacking on the baseplate would be quickly scraped off in many areas. I hope to feel more energised about it all after a couple of months not doing it! The comments youve made here speak volumes to why so many of us enjoy so much watching these presentations and, in some strange, electronic way, have come to consider you a wonderfully fascinating acquaintance if not a friend. The steerers will wave and say hello when they pass each other, that is when the back of one boat passes the back of the other. Thus at the height of summer, the panels might provide sufficient motive power as it was used but none to recharge the batteries as well.At any other time, youd have to let the panels charge the batteries for longer such that in spring and autumn it could easily take several hours to recharge for an hours worth of movement.Without an additional (conventional) generator therefore, pure solar on a canal narrowboat is only suited for weekend breaks and day boats but not constantly cruising liveaboards.

Fashion designer Victoria , 48, featured on the cover . Ive also heard it said that most people are right-handed thus their right hand is on the tiller so they stand on the left hand side of the boat; therefore when passing another boat coming towards you, both skippers will be on the side thats nearest to the oncoming boat.A recent comment on my vlogs also explained that the steering board on ships of old would be on the right (hence the term starboard for right) and boats would put into port on the left (hence the term port for left hand side). What happens if you overstay on a mooring?The CRT have towpath rangers who patrol and note down boat licence numbers and dates; they will issue an overstay notice requiring you to move if you hang around too long. So no, the canals are two-way for 99% of the time. Watching your interviews and a bit if Vandemonium, Im quite confident in your ability to pivot and find a new wind.

It dawned on me that if you considered selling or auctioning off your iconic celebrity cannalboat along with an autographed DVD package of her amazing heartfelt journeys. A narrowboat needs only 1-2kW to move along (once it has begun moving) thus a 20kWh battery pack could sustain 5-10 hours travel (presuming standard lead-acid tech ie 50% drawdown before recharge) and presuming the battery is not used for anything else aboard (though in reality most electric-focused boats use it for domestic purposes as well so the battery and solar system has to support that too)However, solar is not so reliable in the UK. However, this all changed on March 2022 when Cruising the Cut (AKA David) announced that he was selling up his narrowboat and moving onto dry land again.
