Hi Steve, many thanks for your comment, hope you’re keeping well. It was an awful start to my cruise and I felt sorry for the lockies. Cambozola is quite a popular cheese, one of the blue vein varieties. I don’t like strong cheese but this fits the bill quite well and worth a try. All the best, have a good week.

As far as I know, it’s still called Narrowboat Tales and Adventures. Cheers Alan

Thanks Alan bit like yours.

Just had a look Alan Ian hasn't done a vid for a month.

Not really now, 3 of us did meet briefly at the Crick Boat Show but no further broadcasts have been discussed. Ian has sold his boat and will be doing a different type of venture.

And you🤠

Evening Steve. I really felt sorry for the lockies in those awful conditions. I agree, I think you’ll enjoy this series. All the best 🥂

I'm absolutely sure that we will....🍷🍷

Hi Adrian and Mags, many thanks, very kind of you to say. Good luck with the new channel, I have subscribed. Cheers, keep safe on your travels.

Thank you Robin, I won’t be going hungry, that’s for sure. I hope you enjoy watching my further ventures. All the best.

Hi Rufus. One set of gates in particular leaks badly. Sometimes the gates don’t quite shut right against each other, which will make them appear to leak worse than they do. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤠

Hi Jan and Tony. I had a lovely cruise thanks and I feel summer is slowly coming. When I refer to locks I will say double width lock or double lock, as I believe that is easily understood in terms of narrowboats and the general public. Although Hillmorton are 'double' locks, that's not a term I would use, as to my mind it's not clear, I would say twin locks, some may say paired. It's like the term bi-monthly, when that's used I don't know what is meant, is that twice a month or every two months! We also have to consider when using terminology, that different audiences across the world, may have different interpretations or not be familiar with our terms and sayings. Ain't easy is it? All the best, take care.

Hi Lynette, I’ve had awful weather at Watford Locks, perhaps it seems less bad when you’re in it, rather than looking at it. I’ve not been aware of anything flying in the tunnels until this trip. I hope you and Lester have a lovely summer, it’s slowly coming! xx

Thanks Robert. Boats can pass in the two lower pounds but can’t come up until the staircase flight is clear. One boat can wait in the second pound up (but it’s not easy to turn to moor up) and two boats can wait in the first pound. All the best.

I know I wasn’t certain about what they were, but I’m fairly sure they weren’t bats. All the best

Glad you enjoyed it Hugh.

Thank you so much 💙

Thank you Christopher, I hope you do too. Cheers🤠

@@MyNarrowboatVenture thank you 😊

That’s right it’s not a residential marina, I’m high usage, so spend time there; cruising the cut; and out and about.

That’s a lovely way of putting it, thank you for that thought 😀

@MyNarrowboatVenture your welcome. I wonder if they got wet. Great videos, as usal. I enjoy all the natural sounds and seeing all types of weather. No, you surely don't want to be slipping on your boat. Happy Midsommer Solstice.

⁠@@kaysridgedell2358Thank you Kay, I think the birds would have got wet. And to you, take care 🤠

Hi Ginger. I often have the canopy up in winter, but then I’m not always filming. I’m fortunate in that the canopy will fit beneath my local bridges. Sally and I have some special cruises planned, thank you for your good wishes🤠

My understanding is that the number is the CRT registration number and is required to be visible. I think the name of the boat can be the same as other boats.

Thank you Alan. Yes, it’s my registration number. All boats are required to display their registration number, and I would say most do. They are not required to display a name though. And yes, you can have boats with the same name.

What purpose is their in having the boat number displayed? With cars the vehicle registration plate helps with identifying the vehicle if running a red light or going on a toll road that would not seem a need on the Canals. In Australia we have car registration plates but no longer have window stickers as vehicles can be identified digitally probably boat ids could be same?

Hi Terence, I actually think you’ve answered your own question. We no longer have tax discs in car windows, as cars are checked digitally from their number plate. Boats need a registration plate as well, as it’s the only way to identify the owner and check whether it’s licensed. It’s no different to cars. There are Canal and River Trust rangers that check licences and ensure boats haven’t over stayed on their mooring. That can only be done through the registration plate. Hope that explains, cheers.

Hi Bob, thanks, glad you enjoyed watching. All the best, take care.

Thanks Roger, as you say Covid is still about and probably always will be. If you get it, the advice is to stay at home and avoid contact with others. All the best, take care.

Thank you so much Dougie, the weather really was atrocious, so I was very thankful for their help.

Thank you! That’s what I call dedication, sleep well 💙. Sally says Hi back.

@@MyNarrowboatVenture hehe couldn’t sleep, yours was just posted so there I was. Full moon sleeplessness I think. ❤️

⁠@@KatelynsAdventures707I’m glad I was able to entertain you 💙

Thanks Lee, all the best.

We get some lovely sunsets at the marina.

Glad you enjoyed watching.

Many thanks Nigel, it was good of you to be interviewed. Keep up the volunteering, lovely part of the country to be doing it.

I wasn’t aware of that, so have not seen the lake. Maybe not enough said, are some sculptures for sale or are they all for display?.

Thank you so much. I cover a variety of topics relating to boating including repairs, maintenance and cruising and have several playlists that may be of interest. I’m sure many would make different decisions if they could go back. Cheers🤠

Thank you so much Stevie, it was certainly a lovely day for the walk and all was well in the end, my thirst was quenched. New series starts on Friday. All the best and keep safe 🤠

Thank you Mick, I’m fine thanks and hope you are. have a new cruising series starting on Friday, so please look out for that 🤠. All the best

Thank you for watching, a new series starts next week, so please look out for that.

Glad you enjoyed it Chris 🤠

I’m sorry to hear about your Mum, I expect you have some lovely memories of her and your times at Foxton. I’m glad you enjoyed watching. It’s a great shame the incline won’t get re-instated, would have been fantastic to see. All the best.

Thank you Dougie, I’m pleased you found it of interest, there is another pub there but I always go to the Foxton Locks Inn. All the best.

Thanks, unfortunately, Sally wasn’t with me on this cruise but we shall be cruising together. But first, I have a new cruising series starting next week, again alone but well worth viewing. Cheers

Thank you for subscribing. You’ll find Foxton very interesting, there is a small Museum there, well worth a look, if it’s open. All the best.

Thank you Rufus, I hope you’ll enjoy my new series starting next week. I turned at the top, no need to go down, as there’s plenty of room at the top where the arm branches off.

Thank you Ginger, the walk was about a mile in each direction and what a perfect day for it. Thanks for your good wishes for the weekend, I hope you have a good one too. I’ll be seeing Sally very shortly. Cheers.
