  • In June 2015, as part of their preparations for living on a canal narrowboat, Saxon and Emma went for a week-long canal boat holiday. They had virtually no experience. This video documents what happened. View part two here: www.youtube.co..., and follow their continuing narrowboat adventures at www.adventuresi...

    This guy is fucking hilarious. He should be on television. Very very entertaining and great prep for my boating adventure soon.

    Well done for novices. Saxon has a lot of character. Reminds us of Hugh Grant. Emma is a lovely counterpoint to Saxon. Needs a better camera though with less wobble of the scene. Time will tell.

    Love your wife's sense of humor " too close then giggles as you drive into the overhanging trees" better to get. All the scary stuff she's read about
    Out of the way as fast as possible you seem to be doing a fine job of it
    I highly doubt that I would be anywhere near as good as you and your wife buddy of mine rented a 45 foot cabin cruiser and went up
    The Erie Canal from Albany NY
    First time he and his wife pulled up to a mooring they came back just over four hours later to no boat!
    Turns out he wrapped one rope around a mooring stantion and didn't tie a knot they. Found properly tied to a mooring 3 1/2 miles
    Downstream!
    Fortunately that was the worst part of the trip

    I been thinking of renting a narrowboat, myself. Very interesting way of living, on the water. Great vid.

    Tesco and Canal boat life are polar opposites for me. Enjoying your vids though. Stick with it!!!

    Should you decide to buy a wheelbarrow you might consider the 2 wheel version the 2 wheel version negates the balance problem
    And also allows you to carry a larger load don't forget the chain and padlock so the wheelbarrow remains on the boat

    Are those canals actually sewers? That water looks kinda nasty. Great vid. Looks like you had a blast.

    • @Drobium77
      @Drobium77 Před 7 lety +4

      No, it's just they are all lined with clay, so every time a boat goes through them, it muddies the water

    • @JasperJanssen
      @JasperJanssen Před 3 lety

      Drobium77 well, but also they are pretty much stagnant. The flow of water is very low.

    OMG Emma, he's way too noisy in the mornings and too damn cheerful. I had to stop watching and drink 40 oz of strong coffee to be able to watch your video.

  • @jacquisearle1641
    @jacquisearle1641 Před 9 lety

    Really enjoyed that. Why were you so scared of the tunnel? I would have been. Why the heck don't they put some lighting in that tunnel?

    • @JasperJanssen
      @JasperJanssen Před 3 lety

      What, oil lamps? Torches? How would they replace the fuel? Electric would be out of the period, so that’s not an option.

  • @jamesshanks2614
    @jamesshanks2614 Před 8 lety

    If you buy a wheelbarrow remember to paint on it "STOLEN FROM NARROWBOAT ( name )" it might make it easier for the police to
    Return of your wheelbarrow if it rolls away

    A few rather ugly comments! I’d like to say I made it to nine and a half minutes until I realized I was wasting electricity and it probably wasn’t going to get any better! You could have made a really good video out of this too Laddie, so, shame really!

    • @JasperJanssen

      It’s nice how you have such *specific* complaints, that have actual actionable complaints in them. :/

      @sdx773 Před 7 lety +7

      Bernard Schirmeyer Emma and Saxon - I love your style of presenting. You are charismatic and fun which explains the number of followers that you have. I love Cruising the Cut as well, and he he is more professional. Probably because he was a TV presenter. Best wishes to you both - get well soon.

    • @JasperJanssen
      @JasperJanssen Před 3 lety

      Cruising the cut is also a former news presenter, and this is these guys’ first video. No fucking *shit* is CtC more professional than here. He is *literally* a professional. If you really think there’s 9nly room on CZcams for one single narrowboat vlogger, well, I am sad for you.
