Video

A little crazy here, I just got a chance to sit and enjoy your video. Love the cruising at night Canice. It was beautiful. The expression on your face when you passed the guy popping a wheelie was priceless. What is the Meridian (sp) line? Is that the new rail system I have heard a bit about? OMG 😱 You had the mast on your back 😮. The pump is more than a bit temperamental. Glad it worked though. I am relieved that the water around your Baby Blake was not from the tank 😅. What is happening to your glasses? Every week there seems to be new pieces of scrap metal and old Church lumber added to the frames? I am expecting something special for the new nose piece 😂. Oh, now that I see them from the side it looks very functional. Love the stove top! Can’t wait to see what your first meal will be. Have a good rest of the week. 😊🤗 Canice

You ended up mooring right next to my brother's house!

you dont need water at all in bio diesel to have bugs mits lives on the suger in the fuel

You generally do seem Stir-crazy. I am not saying that is bad or unexpected :)

Great video Candice! Very productive with toilet, water, oven and gas, but really think you need two gas bottles with a changeover valve, so if one runs out, you can change over to the other one, especially if it runs out when you are cooking a meal or late evening making a last coffee 👍

A well-deserved cup of coffee! Congratulations on all your expert hard work, Canice, Joe F

Dude, get your knots right -- and less of this drilling (well, maybe a bit for drainage.)

With friends like the Pirate, you will always feel safe on the open seas...

Yes, I reckon the ratchet straps are best here. And concur with JeffCambell1555 below.

Wow, at the end, the Pirate has the best idea. And if all required, I would ignore it or throw money at it :/ Congrates to you!

Functioning toilet, gas and an oven to cook food on. You're getting closer and closer to a live aboard Linda. I'm really glad for you Canice, but reminds myself how much hard work you've been through to get where you are now. It's an achievement! Have a great week.

@3:22 Did you do much henious acts of cuting the ropes? I would think the lot could have been done with ONE length containing many Alpine or Butterfly Knots and the occasional loop going back up to the deck level stanchions.

Doing a much more thorough job than ever I do!

Beautiful. My kids rescued a seagull in San Diego; he grew up with us and frequented our boat and many others, for years. ( It was a few days later and research, when I realised the Seagull's nest was on the beach and was probably interfered with, accidentally, by my kids.

@10:05 Top bodge, Canice. I like it!

Are ou doing real ventriloquism, as oppsed to camera, erm, trickery?

Ah, good sailing rope.

Green rhymes too.

I'm sure the Sea Captain would have said something partularly derogatory about this weeks successes. I'm glad he's in hiding 😅

You made your first ‘meal’ on the vrouwe Linda . Dutch (originally from Friesland) instant coffee. It was a bit hot but you were thirsty. Really appropriate 😀

health and safety: 1. was that originally designed as a propane storage locker? 2. if not, is it sealed perfectly inside? 3. does it have a vent to outside at the lowest point? 4. that rubber hose going through the bulkhead into the cabin, is it sealed around the copper tube? I say these things because I have a top-hat furnace that weighs maybe 200lbs and I can make it jump into the air by allowing just a few seconds of gas to fill it before I touch it off - by accident if its cold. So, say you are sitting on your unvented gas locker smoking a pipe and you find you need a ladder to get out of the tree you are in, what will you do?

Sunday mornings highlight

So emotive!!! Much got done and the camera segments tied the story all together. You are a Master of the craft.. well... crafts!! Two water crafts, one computer, one videography, one continuity, one hot coffee drinker. Loved it all Canice!!

Ouch! (yet I laughed because of your comedic prowess, not because I'm a cruel good-for-nothing... or nothing).

Yes your back. I hate that toilet !!! Xlol

Gas, water, toilet so I’m guessing just the shower to go. Love the evening cruises.

Hi Canice, I don’t often post comments on CZcams but as I have been enjoying your videos for quite a while, I feel it is only fair to tell you how much I appreciate your content and especially your sense of humour which aligns very well with mine! My canal boat experience is limited to punting on the Cam once many years ago but I do own a 40 ft Clipper trawler here in Australia and have experienced many of your challenges over the years which makes yours even funnier! Keep up the great work! Cheers Julian 😀

That was an interesting video plenty of content well done on getting gas 😊

Excellent Canice, thank you. Was that three wins in one video? possibly a record?

I am happy that you are back again. Beautiful video by the way!

I love your kettle.

And know I know why its cold a water tapp!

Water and gas--major steps in the evolution of the living space. The Captain won't understand all that witchcraft!

Hi Canice, was "scrap" diagnosed purely by visual inspection? If so I'm impressed because that's a skill I haven't developed with (I assume) coaxial starter motors in 50+ years!

Very good vlog. 👍

Good morning Canice.

Really are showing your (bad) Gov induced lockdown cabin-fever.

Talk about patience

Of course, rather than ratchet-straps, you should be buying and or collecting great lengths of rope -- ideally never cut/shortened, and preferably from sailboats, and learning wonderful knots, etc. I.e. truckers-hitches to strap down the tarpaulin on the hatches.

Most elegant design! Very good looking and with all the necessary functions as well! (By the way have ever thought of appliying for a job in the Rolls Royce prototyp departments? It seems you could fit in perfectly well there☀️👍)

Great video, experise and music as usual 👍

That was so funny!!! I have an idea. Maybe you could turn the Window? To open it to the outside? I don’t know but I think, that this wouldn’t be so bad to handle. Our little Window in the shit hole ist mostly open. Excuse my English. I am from Ostfriesland 😉

Hoss, you got yourself a mighty fine-looking porthole there - 😜 I love it! Your Dutch barge alchemy remains as creative as that of a Shakespearean actor in a horror film, and I understand that cantrip is also contained in the Wizard of the Lindon Waterways’ spellbook! Cheerio!

Canice, will you not start a feckin Patreon so we could all give you a helpin hand? I can't be the only feckin viewer who would be happy to see things moving a bit feckin faster for you and all of us. Lovely feckin work on the port hole by the way. ❤

Hi Canice. The absolutely last thing that you need is some smart arse suggesting that you tackle the problem of porthole surrounds in a different manner but guess what? I am going to respectfully do that. Not knocking all your hard work but a suggestion on how to surround your portholes (in a manner that would stop water from the shower being able to lodge somewhere and cause you future problems would be to create a dished concave surround out of timber that could be completely sealed and not have all those hard won notches that could leak. You are now a dam hand either the router and could create this surround to suit. I will try attaching an image of what I did to stop this issue. If it doesn’t work and you would like to see a possible solution, please message me and I could email an image to you. I’m stressing that I’m not being a smart arse - only trying to help. Keep up the good work. Mark K. Barge M V Sarah.

Maak het vierkant om de patrijspoort dat zie je wel meer!

Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t!

Make sure you drink milk after welding galvanized metal...

Oh that porthole frame got me laugthing good, but looks very nice and clean in the end. Looking back at it you could have made two rings with different heights. Do you have a plan with what you will cover the wood? Tiles? special paint?

Should have called this one “Trial and Error”!😂
