- If you're a fan of boating on CZcams you surely must know Nikki and Jason Wynn, ex-RVers turned global sailors. Now having a brand new boat built, they decided to take a little time out to visit Britain and have a go at narrowboating. So I sorted them a 10-day trip on the Llangollen Canal.

the slow pace would let me enjoy the trip.
Love the Wynn's! Great job behind the scenes of their adventure
Never heard of (except from your earlier video) but they seem lovely.
Too bad you couldn't introduce them to Eurovision 🙂
Was that ellesmere you started at?
They had an old large RV one problem after another and just when things were going smooth a flat tire !
The lady never seemed to keen on it !
When they went to a catamaran totally different vibes !
Great news they are stepping up to custom new build !
Wel done !
Thankyou for another fantastic video !
David, the Wynns may be superstar sailing vloggers but YOU are one of the OG canal boating vloggers! Glad you're keeping us entertained and informed with CruisingTheCut!
Haha thank you
@@CruisingTheCut You are most welcome!
I agree David is the star vlogger, I can watch his vlogs all day. 🌟🌟. Janet
Absolutely agree with this statement
Came to see David and CTC, stayed for the Wynns...synergy!
FIRST!!! 😉 A HUGE thanks to David for helping to organize our trip entire trip including personalized taxi service, brown sauce education and the iconic Greggs. I still can't believe that we had the #KingOfTheCanals with us for our very first Narrowboat adventure. He was even more lovely in person and we can't wait for our next trip together. Jungle River Cruise? Navigating the Amazon? Canal du Midi? We're open to suggestions.
Canal du Midi, definitely 😍 It was such a joy meeting you at long last, I wish I hadn’t had to dash off that first evening. We must definitely sort something out again 😀
When steering the narrowboats was compared to a container ship 🚢 I instantly thought of the ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal.
As a Texas beekeeper I find myself thinking how fantastic it would be to have a few hives poised atop the narrow boat and pollinate the spectacular countryside.
I was brought here by Nikki and Jason. I have been watching their channel for years. I've watched several of your videos now and truly have enjoyed them. I think I'll subscribe!
Thank you
Absolutely Brilliant! I'm a Yank who once spent 60 days with my wife on the New York and Ontario canals and let me say I am so proud of your production. Oh how I wish we could have experienced this trip and you chose one of the best journeys to show them British canaling. And they are a delightful couple to work with and showed you Brits that we can be great peoples.. Thank you David - a home run once again.
David, it is truly a pleasure to watch you in your role as extended ambassador of narrowboating. You now have a relaxed feel to both the videos and your persona !!! Thanks for yet another Great video !!
Oh that was fun and a half. TY for hosting the Wynn's... and now I have found you and your channel of adventures. 😁
Hello! Thanks for coming along 😀
What a treat, my favourite channel, as your guests, well done and thank you 👍
What is this, a crossover episode? NICE!
I would have loved to have seen their reaction to a full English breakfast. When i had had one over there i dont think i ate again for a day and a half. 😂
As a fan of both of your channels. it was great to see you all come together into one shared episode!
I've followed the Wynns since their earliest travel videos, and I've followed you since you first bought your own boat.
These kids have always got an eye out for a new fun experience, and this narrowboat trip, I'm sure, did not disappoint.
I know that I'd Love to do one myself!
Cheers to you all!
This was just what this channel needed and as an American, so did I. This charismatic and gamely couple made it clear why narrow boating is so great. It allows you to continuously take in an abundance of interesting beauty, charm, and challenge at a pace your brain and senses can actually keep up with. "And no ducks were harmed in the making of this video."
I linked over with the Wynns. I've never left the Southeastern US, but I am entranced by the English countryside I see in these videos. A narrow-boat cruise just made my bucket list!
I just subbed and will be watching your videos from the beginning!
Welcome aboard!
When you said "What else can we introduce them to". I was expecting you to role out the cheese sandwich. You missed a chance there.
Going on a narrowboat holiday has been a dream of mine for a while. The pangs of jealousy I felt while watching this were intense!
😀
David your the King! So delightful! Glad they got us acquainted with you!
Well I would never expected this combo, Cruising with the Wynn’s. What a fantastic little combo, loved it, and that finish who doesn’t love a Greggs. 🥟Thank you cruising King.💀😺🍻
Haha thank you
gone with the wynn brings me here...Looks so much fun
Welcome
Woah, crossover of two of my favourite channels!
That was fun! I've been watching the Wynns since 2015? about as long as I've been following you, so it was a special treat.
I need to be convinced that Nikki manage to fit all her sunglasses in those few suitcases.
I’m afraid you can’t be a super star boating vlogger until you fully understand the cultural and delicious nature of the humble cheese sandwich.
I've never smiled so much watching a video - brilliant - thanks!
David did a great job narrating this episode...very well done guys.
Absolutely loved this crossover as follow both you and the Wynn's.
I cant believe that these two , who I've been following since before Covid are in my super market in Llangollen ! I live just over the hill - if you want a decent cup of tea, pop in, or I'll meet you in the Cornmill. Of course, they are only following in the footsteps of Harrison Ford and Calist Flockhart a few years back.
Loved every minute of this David! The Wynns are totally awesome!❤
If David deserves any title at all, it has to be "The VLOGfather."
🤣🤣😊😊

It was so much fun seeing the Wynn's in one of your videos, David :) Awesome job as always! We hope all is well in the UK :)
Thank you. All fine here, I’m pleased to see you having wonderful travels 😀
That was cruel David, taking them to Greggs ;) Great idea for you to persuade them to try a narrow boat. They really seemed to enjoy it.
I thought it was appropriate for them to try authentic British culture :-)
I really really loved this one David, or should I say Canal King!👑
I'm a fan of both CruisingTheCut and Gone with the Wynns. I'm in heaven!
😀
The King of the Canals, indeed! Thank you, David! It was a lovely ride, from beginning to end, and the Wynns made this American proud. What a way to spend a Saturday morning. ❤
What a wonderful Sunday morning “double feature” with three of my longtime favorite CZcams creators! Thank you David, Nikki and Jason for all of your video travel adventures. ❤
Thank you!
Brilliant as usual! Engaging guests and great camera work. Well done everyone.
John, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you
all hail the Canal King
Hi: Thanks to you David, I'll be in London on the 25th to pick up an ABC hire boat for 10 days on the Grand Union. I loved your videos and I've been looking forward to this since before the covid. Thank You for introducing me to narrow boats.
Roger
Fantastic! I hope you have a superb time!
Gone with the Wynns brought me to your channel.
Hello! Welcome 🤗
Thank you SO much for pointing out the difference between the boats “saloon” and a nail/hair salon.
Hearing people saying “salon” is like chalk on a blackboard for me.
Very much appreciated - and comforting to discover that I’m not the only one
I've been a big fan of both channels for years. Thanks for the fun David!
David, my wife and I (from Maine) are going to rent a narrowboat on the Llangollen next year for my 75 birthday. Heidi (pirate) and you had a lot to do with me deciding to do this, the only thing on my bucket list.
I hope you have an absolutely marvellous time!
Thanks for showing behind the scenes of gone with the Wynns. Your narration is excellent.
Thank you 😊
Two of my favorite vloggers together!?!?! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done, David! It appears (ostensibly) that it did not, I repeat, did NOT rain on the Wynn's parade for ten days. If true, has to be some sort of record. Another great offering of top-shelf content, production, quality and especially presentation from CTC! Cheers.
Brilliant. I love this… David, you are the Boss. I don’t know where the boating community would be without your channel.
Hahaha thank you. I imagine they’d survive somehow 🤣🤣🤣
Behold the Canal King
🤣🤣🤣
Love the Wynns! Their sailing channel is fantastic!
I watched their video, then yours. Two of my favorite channels together. I hope you get to go on their new boat some day.
I'm always happy to see a new Cruising the Cut video!
David, I love the contrast of styles, especially being able to watch the dual production styles. We're seeing perspectives of the Wynns that we don't usually get to see. Minor differences but such a human perspective added in. Handheld vs Newscaster. So much fun to watch.
Just yesterday I watched you on the Wynn’s channel. Brilliant!!
Those guys were amazing. They came over as so sincere in their reaction to the boat and their appreciation of the canal. 👍👍😁😁
Clash of CZcams Channels! Love it.
That was soo cool to see these two huge channels, I love so much, come together like two ships! CRUNCH! Just kidding ... I loved it!
Two of my all time boating favorites, David from Cruising The Cut and the Wynn family from Gone With The Wynn together in one spectacular show.
Living life to the fullest, great example to so many.
Change is always good for the soul, good vid buddy 👍🇺🇸
This is wonderful, I follow you both on youtube couldn't be better.
As it happens I've been following/subscribed to the Wynns channel for a couple of years now. Was very surprised to see them on here on David's channel . Will now watch it on their channel when it's out.. Great to see them enjoying our beautiful canal scenery.
Such a funny video. We (us British boaters) know what is involved and watching the Wynns video gives a very different feel. One of adventure and admiration to you. I’ve done the same trip on my parents boat and loved every moment but their enjoyment is clear. Your commentary is very complimentary but it’s all about the first time experience they were undertaking. Great video
Well, glad the Wynn’s brought me to you. Happy to be here!
Welcome!
Well David that was a lovely vblog you are a true gentleman for organising the trip them Nicki and Jason enjoyed it very much you are a true ambassador for the canal network well done
Thank you
what a delightful couple and video
Loved this David. Really cheered me up. Thank you!
I've followed the Wynns for years. I am looking forward to following your adventure as well.
I've been watching the Wynn's for years now. I used to watch several narrowboating channels (including this one) a couple of years ago. I remember mentioning to the Wynn's back then that they should try narrowboating and Nikki replied that she liked the idea. I'm glad they went for it and could obviously see that they enjoyed the heck out of it. Yours is probably the only one I continue to watch on occasion, including Vandemonium. It is obvious that you that have been in the news business and know your way around a camera are a pleasure to watch. I currently am watching @CaseyRoman (former TV news person) who does RV'ing and is now a realtor. She has the sassy attitude that I love. LOL .Keep up the good work, I love your stories.
This channel is one of the best ways to relax that I know of. Pop over to England at the end of the day, and all is well and good when you enter David's world. Thank you for another excellent offering. Very fun to see the Wynns for the first time. Cheers, and best regards from the USA.
Thank you 😊
I always wondered if you were ever going to have Nikki and Jason on your channel (or visa versa). So glad to see it finally happen. ⛵
i want to try a narrowboat.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. You have a "nack" of capturing the feel and telling the story so well David. Some of my favorite CZcamsrs all together. Thank you for sharing and making another great video! Cheers, T
They might be very upbeat people but they obviously know when to take things seriously. Great to see.
Funny enough, I started watching you during the pandemic, and I'm pretty sure you suggested their channel at some point so I followed them.
I did, yes!
Great mashup! Thanks for featuring the Wynns on your channel! Thanks, too, for the other perspective of their trip.
I watched them in motorhome vids, and learning to sail video, can't imagine their culture shock going to a narrow boat
Apparently, you’re doing a great job filming and editing. I’ve neither heard of you nor have I watched a video. But now you can count me in. Thanks a lot for the funny, witty and overall entertaining video.
Thank you and welcome along! 😀
David, you continue to find new and wonderful stories on the canals.
This was amazing. Nikki and Jason narrow boating in the UK. BRILLIANT. I do watch their channel regularly.
We have followed N&J since the near beginning. I have never seen them so concentrated - smiling. Great vid CTC David.
Brilliant! Good to see a different perspective!
Thank you!
I think they have discovered the truth behind Water Rat's quote about boats in "The Wind In The Willows."
Amazing production as always and great story telling by the presenter!
Thank you!
Thanks, David, for a very unique and fun video--some might say, a real Wynner!
Watching this just made me happy!
Thank you for all involved!
That was fun!! Thank you!!
Superb as always David, thank you.
Ah, CZcamsrs filming other CZcamsrs filming the first CZcamsrs. Great pairing here, though. Two of my longtime favorite Boattuber channels!
Great video as always David! I love the Wynns, they have a great channel as well! It's always great to see CZcamsrs from some of my favorite channels get together!
David, you did an amazing job capturing the American perspective on narrowboating! What a fun, fun video! I was amazed that the hire company used a mock-up of an English lock, that's an absolutely brilliant tool to teach people how to use them. They didn't have those when I first hired 20-years ago! That was such a beautiful, brand spanking new hire boat that Jason and Nikki were lucky enough to get, sweet! I loved your comment about giving the hire boat a new paint job because most narrowboat owners definitely try to avoid (at all costs) any oncoming hire boats! We did too once we owned our boat, too many collisions with the inexperienced or drunk lads on stag party weekends! One suggestion to anyone planning a narrowboat trip, only use duffle bags for your luggage, there is absolutely no space on the boats for anything hard-sided!
Yeah, they had to bring those as since selling their boat they are literally taking all their possessions with them (including on aircraft so they need hard cases)
Wow!!! I used to watch thr Wynns a little while back, for some reason their videos weren't coming up on my feed - probably as I've watched other stuff that's taken over, but I love these guys! What an exciting adventure!!!! Can't wait to see their episode. I really do hope they go over the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, I'd love to see their faces as they pass over 😂
David, once again you are bringing such wonderfully addictive viewing!!! Thank you 🙏❤️
😀😀
Hey David, I find this funny.
Nikki and Jason are cruising the cut while on your channel Cruising The Cut.
BWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"And now something totally different!"
Another seeworthy video from your hand. Thanks for the joy.
Love from Denmark
Yes more of these & follow ups with old Boats on the canal
"Harsh! And unfair!"
You got a mighty chuckle out of me.
THANK YOU DAVID!! I have been following you and the Wynns since your beginnings on the water. It is lovely to see you come together in such a wonderful way. The "kings" of the canal and the catamaran!
When You Tube channels collide! Well done. This is going to be fun.
It was interesting to see Nikki and Jason on another channel. I'm going to try and talk my wife into a vacation (holiday to you Brits) on a narrow boat. She doesn't like boats so it might be an uphill battle. Keep the good stuff coming.
It's flat calm and only 4 feet deep (mostly). Good luck!
I've been watching these two toublemakers for quite some time, they are such good folks to be honest. Quality content and two incredibly nice people that just inspire others.
:) I started following you and the Wynns around the same time (I was researching for ideas for building my campervan) So this is absolutely awesome, seeing you all catch up.
PS. If Jason wants to cuddle a Lamb, I'm volunteering, I promise I won't struggle to get away. :) LOLOL
Wonderful, wonderful!! Don't you love how Ameticans are always so enthusiastic! l had never heard of this lovely couple before, but am going to catch up on them right now. Thank you for finding these gems!!
Enjoy, you will need a few months if you want to binge watch, but they are TOTALLY worth it!!!
👍👍 I just saw the Wynns video but I think yours is so much more informative! And your running commentary and humor are hilarious! And their duck story 😂. Thank you!
Great video, CruisingTheCut. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers
