are you going to do a walk through tour of inside

Well done. Happy you identified the lanyard knot! I really liked the feathering. When did you cutout the extra ropes on the last fender?

Loved the or… exactly what I was thinking

Wrap PTFE around a pencil and you can get into tight spots

Just watched this! Great job!👍🏼 I’m considering doing this myself. I think I’d make less of a bodge job with that 😂

Great video, I like seeing bits of the network I haven't been on yet. It's a good reference for future travels. We're off down to the boat tomorrow but won't get far as we have our granddaughter with us. Take care both 👍

Oops wrong episode!! Now on the correct one!! Good morning to you both. Just spoken to you on the Trent and Mersey canal, between Alrewas and Fradley!! Lovely speaking to you both. We have subscribed for all your travels. Good luck and have fun. Saw you going through Fradley Junction too, (we were having a coffee!) just before you turned off down the Coventry Canal. 👍 Pete and Caroline.

It's when you start cursing that you realise how worthwhile all of that hard work was, well done. The paint job on that multi coloured boat was even more complicated than Nanny's! Is that tubular extension arft of the stern part of the hood frame, or for protection? Congratulations on your 21st all of you seemed to have had a good time, and indeed you're continuing to do so, making full use of the canal's attractions!

Happy belated birthday too you and the twins 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 nice vlog 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👏👏🍺🍺🍺🍭🍭🍭💃

Looks like you are enjoying this new life....bit tight getting in and out of Mercia but it looks a lovely base for some. What plans do you have for cruising for the rest of the year?

Happy Birthday(s)! Thanks for the journey. Your boat looks lovely. I enjoyed the narration, but I do miss the closed captioning. I have a bit of trouble catching all your comments. Have fun!

I don't find you boring at all! If I ever built out a narrow boat, I'd want Grandad to do it. My decorating style is different than yours Nanny, but your build looks rock solid and very space conscious. All the best from Missouri.

Happy birthday nanny ❤

Thanks for taking us on your journey it’s just like the old days when you got all your directions via pub to pub only on water 😂😂😂 you can see the confidence getting better sailing your boat on each update even grandad doing a handbrake turn on water well done to both of you 👏👏👏💪

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Thank you for taking me along. Cheers!

I know this vlog is old but I was wondering what size skin fittings you've used?

Just discovered your wonderful channel and subscribed.

Taking cruising like a duck to water, looks a lot of fun Jean x

It was lovely to see you both at Willington this morning - only sorry I couldn't stop for a longer chat. Your channel has been a great source of DIY advice and has definitely helped with my own ongoing project. Wanderlust looks amazing in the flesh, a real tribute to all your hard work. Good luck with the cruising and keep the videos coming.

I was on the Trent and Mersey for 10mins last week. Just turning at the end of the Middlewich branch. Looks like you had a good run out, the boat looks and sounds great.

Just a cruising with friends. Great video Guys. Watching you do the boat has been fantastic, well done.

That’s a tatie bit of rope on the first fender nanny what’s going on haha.

Looking good, you 2

Hey, Thanks for the vlog, I could do without the music because I prefer the sounds that music masks.

I was at Sawley today, well Long Eaton

I wanted to ask "Nanny" about how she worked out the ballast, can you come back to me, I have watched everything and loved it all

You have become experts at this 'Boating Lark' !!

All your hard work has come together. As tonycamplin says the engine sounds perfect. The whole boat looks so smooth your ballast must be just right. Going to ask you one of them questions……..if you could would you change anything I certainly wouldn’t. Well done now time to enjoy. Maybe time to get a little dog to go with the image. P.s don’t forget to take us with you. Shame you have just missed the middlewich and Lyme boat festivals brilliant weekends.

That went well, sharing a lock. Great to see your work of art in motion. Thank you for sharing.❤❤

It must have been nice to take a break from all those jobs, you certainly deserved one. That other boat's paint complimented yours perfectly. What a nice quiet engine. Grandad is getting good at this steering lark isn't he?

Fantastic video,plus great music,gave me a nice afternoon.

I’ve just received the McALPINE upsw-4-22-22mm shower outlet there were two gaskets different thicknesses for the underside of the shower no instructions so a little confused as which one to use maybe you could give me advice ,thank you.

Wow you really have some patience, I think lee and I would fall out in 5 minutes trying to do that! Great result 👏

Hwo do you take ballast out under all that insulation youv sealed in

Very good not seen a lot on battening

Well done and looks fantastic

Looks fantastic - very professional!

Not boring in the slightest. It's highly entertaining, amusing and I love your attention to detail. I only hope I can match it on my channel. Keep it up.

Always love your choice of sound track backing music.

Hi guys I have just returned from the middlewich folk and boat festival and have been speaking to quite a few boaters on the cut about you both and your journey from beginning to near end and everyone had been following or had heard of your vlog. Maybe next year we could see you both there in person of course with Wanderlust. Once again great update.. p.s see grandad took over when the going got tough 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry nanna was only joking.

Looks really good, you'll be cursing when you have to scrape through overhanging trees.

It looks great ... A bit time consuming though

Very artistic Nanny and complicated with the mixing of colours,as usual a beautiful job.

Another great job done fantastically well, the more you do the more you learn. If you ever do another it'll be even easier. There must be somewhere that needs a diamond pattern putting on! However I think that you should have painted the lettering freehand and put shadows round the letters or maybe just pinstripes round them. Think that I said last time my nephew owns a company that makes an puts up stencils and vynal signs, mainly on vans, he uses a window cleaner's squeeze to put them on. Didn't know that grandad does his eyebrows, does he use fake lashes as well?!

I was nearly in tears when it went in, well done.

Great vlog, very well presented and explained. I have a new boat. Looking through the plumbing, I have no expansion tank. Should I be worried ?

Not boring as usual.

Who's doing the sandwiches 😮😂😅

Great to see you guys back, we LOVE your vlogs!! Best wishes Lee & Ali
