  • We start trying to fish something large and heavy out the canal then we make our way through the stunning Cassiobury in Watford. Here is a real time cruise - no commentary - no music, just the lister and the birds

    A lasting gift from the fourth Earl--thanks for inviting us along! Bird song, Lister and peaceful surroundings--couldn't be better.

    The second half of the video was absolutely tranquil. You have managed to share with us the peace and tranquility that you feel when cruising along without a care in the world. Could you please show more like those please?

      Ok that’s really good to know. I fell asleep whilst watching that back and editing because the lister and the slow scenery - but I did think that some would like it. I will do some more of it especially where the scenery is interesting

      Glad you enjoyed that. I spoke to Carol a couple days ago. She’s ok - got problems in her flat which I’m probably going to have to sort for her. But she’s always upbeat despite the rough she has live with. Thanks for asking - she’ll see that and it’ll make her happy that people are caring for her.

    Hi James, is there a reason that you (mostly) navigate on the portside of the canal?

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  Před rokem

      I tend to navigate where the channel is the deepest especially when I’m out with rob as he has a deeper draft than I

    Hi James and Rob, lovely videos. Thank you. I wonder if you two or any of your commenter's know anything about marinas mooring charges as to having to pay a year up front? I have looked on the web around legalities but have not found anything about it.
    Would be very grateful for any help thank you.

    • @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
      @TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt  Před rokem

      I’ve never heard of paying for the year upfront. I understand usually it’s done in quarters, so payment is upfront but only 3 months at a time

      @@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes this is all we have found and heard. It seems there are no boaters rights about this and marinas can pretty much do what they want. Looking forward to the next video from you guys :)

    Some of those boats you’ve passed look barely liveable.
