    I enjoy your videos so much I've tried watching videos by other canal boaters, but nobody is anywhere near as enjoyable to watch as you guys. Benny's music perfectly fits the pace and the scenery, and your personalities match it all perfectly as well. I'm SO glad I found your channel!

    I will admit that at first I was doubtful about your music in the videos. Yet now I look forward to the music and it help make the videos unique and memorable. Very nice video.

  • @inthehouse1960
    @inthehouse1960 Před 11 měsíci +20

    So before I realized Benny was doing the music I thought, "Wait. Did Neil Young make an album I don't know about? No, that's David Bowie. Nope, it's Sufjan Stevens." Then it dawned... it's Benny and he is doing his own thing. I love it. There's another CZcams channel that uses its own music called "Adventure Archives" and I think it makes for great content. Really authentic and creative. Thanks for sharing your journey and your music.

    Allyn and I have a lot in common, "rotund."🤣😂 That was such a cute way to refer to her. My cat never liked the harness on, he would shimmy across the grass like he was on tactical maneuvers. The paddle board will be so much fun for you all. Another great vlog, so nice to see a new part of the country with you. Take care, stay safe and have fun till the next one. 🥰

    That frog was a toad, how amazing to find it on your boat. Lovely to see you finally got to Redhill. My cats the same, he’s round so has to have a medium sized life jacket. He doesn’t mind wearing it though. Really great vlog, so calm and relaxing. Great music too. Absolutely loved the Alan decorated paddle board. Loved this vlog, great to see Adam and Lauren too. Toad, turtle, goat, cows, swans, cat and dog, a very animal orientated vlog. Take care, lots of love. xxxx

    @Improveng1 Před 11 měsíci +12

    Nice one guys, great to see you relaxing with your friends and having fun paddling boards and eating delicious looking pizza. Nice to see Alan being so relaxed around Chanty. The "frog", btw, was actually a toad. A good rule of thumb when I'Deeing them, is that toads have dry, knobbly skin and frogs have smooth, shiny skin, so your friend, Nobby, was definitely a toad. 😄😄

  • @jamesjohnmoss8130
    @jamesjohnmoss8130 Před 11 měsíci +2

    I just love that you show the good bits, that’s what makes your work really great. It all looks so easy, and fun too. But like ducks your feet are busy keeping it all going. Keep up the great work. I am a Brit living in the USA. She what’s to move and live like you guys are, I have to keep explaining, it’s harder then it looks!

    @markcarpenter6300 Před 11 měsíci

    Those turtles are most likely terrapins. They were once popular pets often discarded down loos, and end up in the rivers and canals. They can live a long time in the UK and get quite big, but can’t reproduce as our ambient temperature is not hot enough.

    If it’s a toad they need to have access to the land.
    If it’s a frog they are fine in the water. 🙂
    They are both amphibious, however toads spend more of their time on land.

    of your music if so please let us know😂. By the way Ben they don’t have nuclear cooling towers in the Amazon but Turtles 👍 did you know Emily that cats are great swimmers I used to work in a small print Gibbs and Branford in St Albans Herts and the owner showed me a photo of cats swimming in a river, I never new that😅 Love that paddle board and you could of at least given the goat a lift🥴🥴. Emily do you often have a P on deck🤔🤔 Thanks for a great program you three it was so enjoyable specially now I know that Ben is doing the singing / music 😜 Jon🇦🇺🙏🙏
