Yes! Another vlog, I love your vlogs, i don’t watch shorts, more full vlogs please
thank so much for the support , its great to be back ❤️😊
Hi Guys Good luck with your BSS EXAMINATION 😊
You seem to have followed everything?
Great to see you both again.
Take care and stay safe out there 💓 😊
Thank you so much
Miss your vlogs,so glad you've done another,so excited,think you're both brilliant and funny
Thanks so much for the love, were so happy to be back ❤️😊
Hello Becca and Chris, It was very interesting to learn about the BSS exam. You both seem to be on top of everything. A serious vlog this week, no special effects etc, but sometimes one has to be serious, and your safety is Paramount. Loved the banter between you both. We also learn't how to turn on a Tap, and how to drink out of a jug, of which was really informative. Becca gave a very infoirmative demonstatration of how pipes travel thru bulkheads. I loved the opening of the video (and I said no special effects) which was great, and I oved the Flying saucer. Becca explained everything so well in true Becca style. Another great Vlog. Thank you very much. Spoolbox.
Hi spoolbox, yeah a slightly more serious vlog this week...were getting back into the swing of things.it has been a slow month. im glad you learnt so much from my water drinking skills, well done for noticing the effects, Im using a new program so to edit the videos so everything's taking a bit longer and seams 100 times harder, but it should help in the long run , have. lovely week
Awwww good to see you both and do hope you pass 0:05 the saftey check 🤞bet all the info help other biaters tc now luv from the oldies tc🤗🤗👍👍
Hi Guys, thanks for your comment, so happy to be back , hope you've all been well ❤️
I'm gonna say that you'll probably need to put a hold-down strap on the batteries. They like them to stay in place even if it capsizes, not just rolling side to side.
yes I did wonder, seams like a more popular thing to fail on
Hi Rebecca and Chris, I thought you would have hot water and be cruising but it sounds like life happened. Sending prayers of positive vibes ❤️
Thank you so much, yes its been such a long sludge, these next months should hopefully reveal alot
On a narrow boat, where waters flow,
Live Chris and Bex, with spirits aglow.
The Nomadic Crobot, their channel’s name,
Through laughs and mishaps, they’ve found their fame.
Everything goes wrong, yet they still smile,
Their crazy antics, a unique style.
In a world afloat, with a twist of fun,
Their joyous journey has just begun.
With laughter bright and hearts so free,
Chris and Bex bring cheer to thee.
Though chaos reigns and things go askew,
Their love and joy shine ever true.
A bit of crazy, a lot of heart,
From their narrow boat, they never part.
Through ups and downs, they bravely steer,
The Nomadic Crobot, bringing cheer.
aww Bless you this is so sweet and kind off you, we could turn it into a song, hope you have a lovely week, it means alot ❤️❤️
exposing our secrets haha! Good luck guys 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Busted 😂
haha it was incredibly well thought out hack...were both very impressed 😊❤️
Oh my god ! My lovely babies are back ! Hoping papa crobot is doing good now ? Here’s hoping he’s having a speedy recovery!
Just so glad you’re back and doing ok. I’ve missed my lovelies xxx
Yes papa has made a full recovery bless him, and thanks for asking Mandy, were alll set to get stuck in once again in our never ending quest for river and canal domination xxx
@@TheNomadicCrobot that’s the best news ! X
The BSS is like a car MOT. It's down to the tester on the day. It's great you cover these subjects. Superb vlogs as usual.
yes we have heard that, I have feeling the first one will fail....but you never know...it will be interesting to see what they find, Cheers Will
The one advantage extraterrestrial Crobots have over us normal (?) carbon-based life forms is that you have already had more than enough exposure to Vogons and can anticipate eactly what passing the BSS will be like. Well, that is, except if the inspector starts reading his poetry. In the mean time, don't panic.
Oh guys I’m so made up to see you back. I was worried for I min then. Good luck with the check I’m sure you will pass xxx
Hi Estelle thanks for the love and support, were so happy to finally get the ball moving again, hope you have a lovely week ❤️😊
@@TheNomadicCrobot
Aww you have a lovely week too guys. Let’s hope we get a bit of sun. ☀️ big hugs 🫂
Nice one guys good to have ya bk am sure you will pass the test and be off on ya travels by the end of July have a Top week 🙂🔧🎸✌️
you would really hope so wouldn't you , Thanks Lee
Hi Chris and Bex. Great to see you both back. Hope your family is ok. Great explanation about the BSS. Hope you pass and can get your license so you can start cruising 🥰Take care. Nick
Hi Nick thanks for your comment, yes family is all well thankfully, fingers crossed the BBS goes well, have a lovely week
Yeah ! At last a new one …😊thanks !
Thanks for waiting ❤️😊
Ah lovely to see you guys back x
Thank you 😊
No you’re wrong Chris, we’re also sh*&&ing ourselves about this BSS, we want the Whistling Wombat to pass as much as you do, seems you guys have most of it down pat but don’t worry Bex will have those few things under control, under your supervision of course, just keep checking on her work. LOL. Those covers really are beautiful, that’s a whole new room. Hope your dad is OK Chris. Please don’t leave us for that long again I’ve been going through withdrawals and I’d bet others have been too. Right, take care and hopefully we’ll see you again pretty soon (is that a big enough hint?), missed you two. 💕
awww bless you , thanks...there are so many things to consider but it seams every bbs guy is different so it all depends who you get...a bit like an mot. Yes Dad bless him has made a full recovery...its been a tough month but we are are back yayyyy thanks for all the love ❤️😊
@@TheNomadicCrobot. Just glad your dad is good Chris, I lost mine 9 years ago, and still cry as I miss him so, so I understand how very important they are. Take care lovely people. 💕
hey Bec and Chris I think you have most of it sorted just one concern to me, now I'm in Australia so the rules may differ but venting the gas locker under the doors would not fly here. we have to have a skin fitting in the lowest part of the locker that runs to an overboard skin fitting. I can't see why this would be different overt there so perhaps an enquiry with an inspector may be in order. love your work guys
I think it's mostly down to how picky the inspector is. try and find someone thats not too picky and doesn't get you to put air vents everywhere lol.
oh god...please no
Hi, do you remember, the vlog of the guy who made the missing piece of your hatch...............I just watched yours 1/140 back to back, lol, very good,
yes..what a lovely chap. Thanks so much ❤️
@@TheNomadicCrobot er, could you pass it on to me, I remember it was Philip or something like, but cannot remember his vlog page
Great to see you both seems to have been a long time
Yeah 3 weeks or so I think,it's great to be back thanks for the support
Good to have you back. Gas locker might need a lock on the doors
or chains to hold the gas bottles in place.
You have made such a huge amount of progress. xx
yes I did wonder that, I might just wait and see if it gets flagged, were slowly getting there, this has kinda crept up on us, thanks for having us both back 😊
@@TheNomadicCrobot It WILL get flagged. Gas bottles must be secured with chains or straps so even if the boat tips over, they stay in place. Putting a lock on the door won't make a difference, except deterring thieves, because it's not acceptable for them to move about inside and possibly puncture. Also, you can't keep the gas spanner in the gas locker, convenient though it is.
Great to see you back. I've missed you both. Good luck with the BSS. Hope it goes well.
Fingers crossed! Thank you 😊
Great to see you back.interesting video.keep up the great work both and good luck with the BSS 👍
Thanks 👍
New covers look great, popped in to the pub for a quick beer and nuts on the Friday, quick run out on the moped.
such a lovely pub for a quick beer on a sunny day.
River looked fast flowing and according to a local about 18" higher than the day before.
For question 1 you are now venting into the canopy so don't smoke with it all coved 🙂
With the vents you need to know what you are trying to vent out.
Carbon dioxide CO2 is heaver than air so a low vent would be good, but carbon monoxide CO if about the same or a little lighter.
the problem with low level vents in the cabin is you would have drowned before before the CO2 got you. 🙂
You can't beat good ventilation and an alarm.
Oh woaw thank you, if you ever see us make sure to say hello. Yes it looks like boats are out there again...and they have finally moved the giant twig. I believe we have a carbon monoxide one, thanks for your advice 😊
So good to see you back - I hope everything is ok 🥰
Thank you for the love 😊❤️
Nice to see you back, I have missed you. I do believe you need the gas bottles chained up to prevent movement such as a collision!
we did also wonder this, maybe will see if it gets flagged, thanks for your advice
Missed you guys so much, I was worried something happen to ya. I was getting ready to book a flight and fly over to search for you. Your channel is my favourite, we don’t want nothing to happen to you❤.
Hi Craig, Thank so much for the love, its been a head month but weve nearly just about come out of it, hope you have been well 😊❤️
Good to see you back guys !! 👍
thank you 😊
Discovered you guys a couple of days ago when 'boat crashes', always good for a laugh, sorry, popped up on our stream. So far watched on a catch up of your very entertaining vids...you two are both absolute naturals at this utube film making malarky! So there's us thinking getting a 30 foot yacht in and out of a tidal marina was difficult! Would you believe that we don't need any sort of safety certificate for our 40 year old yacht! Insurers just require us to keep it 'seaworthy'. Hope all goes well for you...great channel so have liked and subscribed. Dave and Ginny
Oh thank you so much for this lovely comment, weve both got a bit carried away with it at times but its all in the name of not taking ourselves to seriously. Thanks for joining us both on what will soon be a cruising adventure fingers crossed
welcome back where ever you went xx
Thanks so much, a quick break from the madness to focus on a different madness xx
Good luck with your BSS inspection. Hope you get an inspector with a good sense of humor and not a little stick-in-the-mud bureaucrat.
Thanks I think we will need it😀❤️
good vid cranking it on the cut keei up the good vids thanks lee
thank you Lee ❤️😊
Just wanted to say thanks for loving you titan canopies. We've just ordered a set at crick today. Hoping they come out as nice as yours. We've a year to go to our bus so will be seeing how you get on
Great company we were actually meant to go along but got held up sorting all the BSS things , exciting news for your new covers...there really great quality
Where you been, you guys.
unfortunately we had some family business to attend to, thanks for your patience ❤️😊
Y’all always make me laugh. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the love ❤️😊
Suggest upgrading to tractor tyres as bumpers & breaking the mental connection to the spare battery then send it to a scrap dealer for a few quid - the spare board over the batteries makes for a nice seat when you lose the metal cover or is there a mental connection to that board too.... Oh in the states we call collecting rubbish hoarding
thats not a bad shout at all,😂 yes we love keeping rubbish 😂😂😂
Hi Guys, a favourite fail is the gas pigtail tube that connects the gas bottles.... if its not been replaced recently be prepared for that to flag up - some have dates on i think??
yea I wouldn't be surprised , ours looks very old 😳
Hydrogen is significantly lighter than air. Suck eggs time: It will rise, so you may need ventilation holes on the top of the box.
hmmmmm fingers crossed 😬
Nice to see you both back, fingers crossed you'll pass
Thanks Gary fingers crossed
Do you feel a future Pre BSS Check Consultancy business in the offing? 🤔🤦♂️ Great to have you back. Take care
owwww I bet Bex would make. a cracking bss instructor
full vlogs please
I hope that you don’t have to remount the entire gas line inside the boat. I’ve seen some Boat Tubers have to do this. Something to do with stress or corrosion prevention or something.
oh my god could you imagine
Well that is so much more than a MOT.
yeah its probably a bit more intense
Never heard it called polishing your meddles before and then Rebecca likes going down 😳. You need to get some rubber spiders and insects to throw at Chris haha. O and good luck with your test 👍
haha thats brilliant, thank you so much , fingers crossed not to much needs correcting
@@TheNomadicCrobot you better send Chris down the pub when you have the test , best keep him out of the way 😆😆
Good luck, I hope you pass and can begin cruising soon 😊
Thank you ❤️😊
Are you back bloody missed you posh and bex
😂😂 yayyyyy
Thanks
Thank you so much for this, so kind of you ❤️😊
Bex s stern is very very nice so I'm sure you'll pass hands on it
That's a bit rude actually chap ...
How's that rude ,,,she has a lovely bum and that's why I subscribed..I'm just stating fact ....🙂😛
😂😂😂
has the gas locker got ventilation ,incase a bottle leaks ?
thats interesting, a small gap at the top and the bottom of the door
Omg who are these two 😂😂❤❤
Finally 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Make sure the gas bottles are strapped up they cannot move
yes I did wonder that thanks
@@TheNomadicCrobotthey have to be scrapped up separately and make sure the starter battery is covered and cannot move
Just had my bss done,just waiting for the guy to send it me and the bill then I can pay the ea their pound of flesh
well done Shane, seams to be getting more and more pricey
195 for the bss,probbly be a bit more as they had to sort a couple of bits out,hopefully going to be popping to the boat this week
You will pass. Your boat is not junk.
Thanks Garyl we really hope so
I see Phil's pesky UFO's have found you.
who's Phil?? well spotted
Finally a proper vlog. Please stop spamming my feed with shorts. They're out of synch and uninformative.
Please continue on longer content
sorry, we were under the impression that shorts only get put on people feed who actually watch them
Not sure how it works but personally prefer the longer content.
Maybe Australia throws them out of synch and cuts them shorter
Xx
I’d fail that battery purely on the fact that its Lead Acid 😂
😂😂😂
Stop worrying it'll pass 😊😊
hmmmm not sure...fingers crossed
@@TheNomadicCrobot Dan bullen is a great bss inspector
This is the most negative vlog ref narrowboats. Nothing seems to go right. Won’t watch it again
0:03
Thanks Geoff, it's been a pretty bad take at narrowboat life,make sure to delete us forever from your memory
Great video hopefully she passes first time all the best daz
that's would be amazing , thanks 😀
But Chris, when Bex said you were lazy, you did not deny it!😆 Hope you can post more uploads soon, missed your vids.
you have a very valid point 😂 thanks its great to be back
