I bought my first paddle board this summer & I am 70!! I so love it & can feel my strength increasing every time I go out.
That is awesome!
Well done Mark, only one dunking 😁👍. Well done Debbie holding it together when Mark slid off. Always entertaining, keep up the fun and enjoy yourselves. Take care and stay safe. 😊🤗🤗
Thanks 👍
Brilliant vlog, I love it when Debs cracks up with laughter, makes me laugh so much. Love you both.... keep them coming. Enjoy your paddle boarding mark. 🤗🤗🥰
Thanks so much ❤️
Love how the little duckies came to check you were ok, brilliant
I think they wanted to know what caused the big splash 😂🤣
Love it. Mark takes a tumble, makes a BIG splash, finally manages to crawl back on, Debs laughs her socks off, Debs has to stop filming whilst she composes herself and then.............>>>> Deb says.......>>> 'are you alright' 🤣
😂🤣
What's not to like about you falling in. Debra's laughing is totally infectious. Love it. Thank you.
🤣😂👍
I laughed again! Thank You!
My hubby started at 62 years. Just by saying his name, I could tumble him from the board!
Now, he hardly ever falls off! And like you, he is gone for hours!
😂🤣 any distraction and I get a major wobble on
Well done mark on your paddle boarding, omg Debbie’s face was priceless hoping you’d fall in 😂🤣 I would have been the same . Must say tho I don’t think I’d try 1 on a canal , take care guys, looking forward to a beer review, I nearly complained about the lack of alcohol 😂🤣😂🤣see you soon x
I don't think I'd do it on the GU.
Had some great beers to review but necked them to soon 😂🤣
There is no elegant way to get back onto a paddle board! 🤣 They’re great fun, look forward to seeing your journey to becoming steady on it x
Im improving every day 👍
What a brilliant vlog. I've never tried paddle boarding before but it looks like fun. We're the same age Mark, so well done for having a go 👏
We know people who have them and advise to watch the pressure in hot weather cos you don't want it to go bang! That would be expensive. Look forward to seeing you on it again. Much love to you both ❤
We was told to let some air out when you take them out of the water on a hot day
@@welldeckdiaries5610 oh great news. I'm really pleased someone told you. Happy paddling!!
Hi. Good fun blog, could do with a bit less heat though! l can't believe how anyone could find anything to complain about your blogs, they must be professional carpers. Still, as Colin explained, whether the comments are good or bad, they all go towards your algorhythms, whatever they are!
Thanks ❤️
That old algorithm isn't fussy 😂🤣
Thank you for a lovely vlog. I enjoy watching you two as you are so natural . I love the banter between you and when something happens to make you laugh your laughter is really infectious. Thank you.
Thanks so much Bruce
You are so precious! I LOVE watching you. Please dont ever give up your podcasts, even when it is 38 in England! (Blows my mind). Love watching you. Im in the mountains of Colorado.
Thanks Pamela ❤️
Yet another wonderful vlog. Can't think of a single one of yours that contains anything for someone to complain about. The two of you are wonderful and make me laugh every week. Your love for eachother shines out every week. Debs you have a truly beautiful smile. X
Thank you so much ❤️
Hey Mark and Debbie, thanks for the chat this afternoon at the Friends of the Nene Mooring. Never thought to ask at the time if you needed a lift to pick any food up or bits and pieces in general. If you do let me know and I'll get you to Tesco's, Aldi's or where ever suits you. Cheers Tom
Cheers Tom, we're fully stocked until we get to Peterborough 👍
Mark and Deb. When we have a bad day, we watch the "epiphany" vlog.🤣😀 Things look alot better. So glad Deb is doing well and you two are having fun ! Thank You .
It even makes us laugh when we re watch it
Deb looks GREAT !! So happy ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much
Brilliant vlog, always fun, did think we were all going to be disappointed, such a great job staying upright, just needed to be patient :) Should have your usual disclaimer "This is not a how to video, this is how I do it" hearing Debbie crack up even when you know it's coming is fab :)
😂🤣
If no one else comes forward, I can be your offendee this week.
🤣joking!
🤣😂
Join the queue 🤣
Your maiden dunkin all went OK well done 😃👍
Thanks 👍
Such a delightful time I got to spend with y’all today! Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for this ... was great to see you both having a great time.
I did notice the ducklings coming to offer their help and advice... 🤣
Our pleasure!
As a fellow athlete may I commend you on your superb board skills 😃 Well done mate.
🤣 Cheers
Another really enjoyable blog. Great bit of paddle boarding.. I can see you taking on the Amazon next. Always brightening our day!.
As long as the river isn't to deep and there's nothing nasty swimming in it then I'll take it on 😂
It was the dismount that was the problem. LOL. Looks like great fun.
Thats why I stay away from horses 😂🤣
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Definitely better in water.😄
Never to old Mark love your videos please keep them up x
I will, thanks 👍
Just watched this...( playing catch up with your videos) ...well done Mark , well done !.....have no idea why anyone would ever write anything harsh about you.....you're a lovely couple.....and Debra , you had me cracking up laughing!!!....thank you for sharing another great video.....cheers !
Thanks 👍
Sorry to say how much i laughed but the paddle board is so good of a thing to keep you in shape, well done Mark. Good to see Debbie looking great, even though she is going to be wearing her arm out with that fan, i expect after the vlog she goes back to the powered fan. You two are so good of a match to each other always smiling and laughing Stay well and be safe XXXX Ed 40 S of Vegas
Cheers Ed 👍
That was a great Vlog, isn't it nice to try new things. You did well. Although I have never tried it. I'd assume that I would have got a lot wetter than you 😂.
I did chuckle at your nearest and dearest laughter, at you're dip in the H'2'o
Debbie nearly wet her self laughing 🤣😂
Still loving the giggling. Thanks so much - we are now changing our 2023 summer cruising plans to do the Great Ouse. I’m busy adding all the lovely moorings to our river guide. Take care and keep laughing xxxx
Thanks ❤️
hi deb mark so lovely to see you both so happy and looking well couldn't stop laughing at debs giggles well done for trying mark love to you both enjoy this lovely weather xxxx
Thanks ❤️
Great video, surely thought Mark was going to fall in the first time. Good going, I'm sure I could not manage the board. Have a safe time, will be looking forward to the "mystery vlog"
I think it was beginners luck to start with 🤣😂
outstanding show of mature masculinity, Mark!🧐 I love this channel as I just get a really good laugh out of it. THANK YOU BOTH!😁
Glad you enjoy it!
You did quite well Mark! I have a new friend here in Fredericksburg. She grew up
in London. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful
Brilliant…..we watch you regularly and not sure why we hadn’t subscribed….have done now. My Mark is also 57 and is desperate to try paddle boarding…we are away with our caravan in September and I think I might treat him to a lesson on Carsington Water, Derbyshire. Deb’s laughing was brilliant….you glow….so glad you are well….love the crucifixes 🤣. Helen & Mark xx
He should definitely try it
GG says woof to your fur babies
Bonnie & Alfie says woof back
That was great fun Mark. Living on the south coast I see lots of water sports on the sea and the river arun, lovely to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Lounge chair, double ended paddle, beer cooler, and fishing pole. Lol!
sounds perfect
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Thought you would like that. Much easier. Lol!
I am so pleased you fell in because I knew Debs would wet herself, me too! Brilliant fun and great exercise too I would imagine. 💐💐
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I could just see you two on a pedallo 😂
Well done for having a go, it will give you a different perspective on the canals from actually being in the water,
Sheila Perth Scotland xxx
Took the grand kids on a pedallo last year, I ended up doing all the pedalling
Yeh........one of those Swan looking jobs
Great fun! Love listening to Deb giggle! You did a great job on the paddle board! Well done Sir! Hugs to you both!
Glad you enjoyed it Barry
Hi both a very enjoyable video my wife and I started paddle boarding a few weeks ago and are hooked, it's worth mentioning in very warm weather don't leave your board in the sun fully inflated the air inside expands and they can explode.
Better to put board in the shade or water to keep it cooler, and deflate it a few psi from the max recommend psi for sailing.
Top tip for the board in the sun 👍
Ohh, the grandkids are going to be itching to get on grandads paddle board, keep proving that your never too old to try something new Mark !
They've all had a go and love it
That's amazing - i live near a small boating lake and people do have inflatable paddleboards. Only ever seen that once. Good job on learning how to use it.
You should try it
@@welldeckdiaries5610 maybe !
Going by the expression on Debbie's face it looks as if she can't wait to see you fall off the Paddleboard so beware ,she will probably have the camera locked and loaded too! But well done Mark you definitely deserve a "Ryte Nice Pint".
Hey Deb now you have to convince Mark to try Kayak rolling, that definitely needs core strength so you might get lucky so keep the camera handy
Thanks for the fun guys ,good to see you guys again .
Happy cruising be it Narrow boating or Paddle boarding
P,S. Mark try nailing a strip of lead to the bottom to lower the Centre of Gravity*L*
I had a friend who was a kayak instructor who always tried to get me to come along to lessons but regrettably I declined, I'm not a strong swimmer and have alway been cautious around water. Anyway this friend has since passed and I might do some lessons as a mark of respect
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Well Mark I've just celebrated my 85th.I used to be keen on water skiing but haven't done any for some years but I still drive the boat for others on Skis and towed on single and double floaters so they got me on a double one with my youngest daughter and then careened up and down the lake at forty miles an hour...good job I've acquired a couple of extra pounds to cushion the bouncing ,boy did I need a nice cool pint after that *LOL*
Well done Mark
Thanks ❤️
Great job. Good thing you are doing the hard work, so we don't have to. Best to both of you!
Much appreciated!
Well done mark for staying afloat. You two are great, so bubbly. Thank you for a great Vlog xxxx
Thanks so much 😊
Love you guys! Ignore the idiots/haters. Your laughter and joy is so uplifting!
Thanks ❤️
You had to drink some beers to restore that core strength aye Mark . And nice recovery you need time to get stabilizing strength.
well said 🍺🍺
I got one from hotsnap it’s a tidal rave and it’s brilliant,I got the jungle one,love it
They are so much fun
Perfect as usual, lovely to see you both 💙
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad you're ok, it scared me out of my skin. I'm glad you was smiling. Thank s for the ride on the boat. Later .becky.
Thanks ❤️
Mark, you are in great shape!
Thanks ❤️
Great job Mark...we are getting a SUP for next summer, there are so many on the Thames and it looks great fun!
Have fun!
I'm really sorry but I peed myself laughing when you fell in..... and at no point was I offended....🤣
😂 Thanks ❤️
All your videos are lovely, keep the good fun going. Love you both xx
Thank you! Will do!
Loved that vlog. I have a giggle with you. Loved the paddle boarding and quite fancy a try myself now. Take care
Glad you enjoyed it.
You should give it a go
Oh my goodness, you have made me chuckle while cooking dinner, brilliant cc
Glad you enjoyed it
🌟👏👍brilliant Mark, of course you’re not too old you daft bat!!! 🌟👏Debbie……. I was with you there all the way 🤣🤣🤣. So love you too! 🥰😀 joan
Thanks so much
I have watched so many of your little videos...I cannot imagine why anyone would write negative comments. Good to see you looking good and loving life. Enjoy!
😊 thank you
Mark best laugh i've had in a long time, Well Done, Cheers.
Thanks ❤️
What great fun! I was waiting for another laugh fest after Mark's ship went down but no. Reminded of my old days living on the lake, where I had a 4 (wo)man inflatable that I used to tie onto the roof of my Volkswagon SuperBeetle! No worries here about how and why you do things. I love everything about you two! As they say, whatever floats your boat.🥰
Glad you enjoyed it Cyndi ❤️
@@welldeckdiaries5610 xoxo 💞
Lovely cruising videos, I always love them. And the music. Archie is gorgeous and obviously needs dog-sitting by Deb. 🙂 Ha! professional stunt board, that was funny ... so glad you liked it and did so well, as you of course would have, Mark. That was fun to watch. I bought a Stearns inflatable kayak years ago, cost some money, but I've loved it and it's still with me even though I no longer own my 40-foot wood twin engine 1939 power boat, but travel with a pickup truck and 21-foot Canadian built caravan these days. Still ... to get out on the water is spectacular, feels so good, doesn't it? But I immediately bought a 12-volt pump to blow it up. Just a smart thing to do to reduce stress. And there is a way to add a cord between board and paddle too ... just saying'. 🙂 Sure love your vlog.
A dunking was inevitable!
Over confidence was the problem 🤣
This was a great way to start my Saturday morning. Along with my spam and cheese toastie 🤣
I once made spam and veggie skewers for a BBQ 😋
love that you have got a paddle board, you are never to old to learn new things. agree with you about the weeds Mark and I wasnt laughing honest xx
Im slowing getting better with the weeds 😂
🤣 sorry I missed you cracking up Deb. Wanted to say I was offended that I missed it but didn't want you to misunderstand. Love shows never too old.
😂🤣
Great blog as ever, you always make us smile. Keep up the good work and ignore the moaners.👍👍👍
Thank you, I will
Awesome that Mark is trying NEW things. No offence to the fan, the cross or your happy smiles!!!
Thanks Mary ❤️
Love your vlogs and you both! You make me laugh. I love when you get the giggles. I'm sorry people are mean to you, it's not right. Feels like in today's world you can't blink without someone getting offended or butthurt about something. You create fun, engaging content and are generous to share your lives with us. Thank you 💕.
Thanks Annette ❤️
