- In this video, I weld some steel plate to the deck after finding a new hole.
I also continue to paint the cabin.
And it’s moving day, so Linda is heading to Ware.
Seams like we are not the only boat channel with rabbit 🐇 The white roof really does make a difference and as always, really good video 👍
Good to see the New River get a mention and a view. Over 400 years old, 25 miles long and a marvelous feat of engineering, still supplying 10% of Londons drinking water, all by gravity - no pumps along its entire length.
I discovered that they pump spring water into the new river along the route and it’s amazing. I discover this in a previous video.
This one.

Oh the high light of my Saturday nights, a Canice video!!! I do enjoy watching all your hard work.
Hi Robin! It’s a good thing that I enjoy the hard work! 😂
Love the fabrication, but you also make the cruising interesting. Good video
I’m trying to find a balance between the two aspects of the channel. Bashing steel and bashing locks!😂 Glad you’re enjoying it!
@@canicebannon Fabrication wins hands down, but yours and Wills channel is probably the only channels I watch with the cruising. I think its the quips.
What a beautiful mooring you had. The work is all looking great too.
It was really nice to have this spot. To be surrounded by so many people really enjoying the environment was great to see! I kept remarking that children growing up in this area are so lucky!
Thank you Canice. Linda looking lovely in Hertfordshire along with your floating garden. Take care.
Hi Christine, the weather has been so good and the garden is soaking it up!
Every time you lower the leeboard with the winch in gear I hold my breath.
It's far safer to disengage the gear and use the brake. If you slip or otherwise come into contact with the spinning wheel .....
As always love to see your films.

I know! I stand quite clear. There is also a bit of CZcams drama going on when I let the winch go!
Jan you cut up my mast! I’m coming back in a week and I’m hoping to visit The Rat again. I’ve always regretted I didn’t do a better video. Hopefully see you soon..
It would be nice to meet you again !
Great to wake up on my birthday to a Canice video !!! happy Sunday Canice
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day. 🎉🥳🎂🎁🎉🎉🥳
How beautiful is England from the river during summer, a pleasure and a delight to see…thank you 🙏 Have a great week 👍
You nailed it on the head. This is an amazing bit of the countryside!
Fabulous video again! Wesley and I are back in the area and happened to be staying near Ware last night! We had a little stroll down the river today. Linda is coming along beautifully, the videos just don’t seem to capture how truly magnificent she is! Can’t wait to bump into her again!
Ssshhhh you’ve seen the new paintjob! No spoilers! I have tried to film her in a more flattering light this week because of what you’ve told me before. In fact the reason I’m painting her is because you were to first to tell me she looks better in the flesh, and others have turned up since and said the same thing. I want to do right by Linda!😂
@@canicebannon would we do that to you??? It’s a brave choice! Not all Dutch barges could carry off that particular shade of lime green! I’m not sure she needed the “mystery machine” plastering across her leeboards?
@@Redsquirrelanddune Oh great! I’m surprised you didn’t mention the massive tail pipes I have running down the length of the hull!🙄
Love it 😀 thanks again 9:10 pm
Thanks Frank!
Looking splendid with that white roof, thanks for another cracking video Canice!
I’m getting snow blindness!😂😂
Very nice. So many people out and about to chat with. As great as your welding is your editing is super cool as well. So many trees. Have a good one Canice.
The problem is, you never get any work done because of the chatting!😂😂😂
Àlways a pleasure to watch your videos, love the welding and the humour, keep on going !!!
Thanks David! More videos coming along.😀
Great content Canice. 👍👍
Thanks Dan!
Awesome vlog again Canice! The way you use the imagery weaving it together to a very natural flowing story. Marvelous.
Ps. Somehow I seem to have deleted your comment to Peter Finches contribution (👍) after I deleted a mistake of myself and I don’t know how that can even happen, sorry about that
My vlogs are like my mind. All over the place! 😂 Please don’t worry, I deleted an entire episode!😂😂😂
[in your best undertaker's voice]:
Titan among Tipulidae, magnificent among May Flies,
Clifford shuffled off this mortal coil somewhat short of the usual 10-15 days, the standard since the Cretaceous.
Lured by wet paint, his demise was at very least colourful, and it could be said that in death he truly lost his sea legs.
Clifford had only one job, to copulate while flying prior to his natural end, and sadly for him, he failed to accomplish that.
We would all like to have that job, but naturally without the consequences. Clifford left us early, but is completely unmourned by farmers and groundskeepers everywhere. When it is said that Clifford was one in a billion, that is probably pretty accurate. Rest in pieces, Clifford.
Maybe he HAD copulated and then decided to relax with some Volatile Organic Compounds! But sadly it got out of hand and before long, he was legless, incoherent and plucked too soon from this world leaving nothing but his lower bowel as a reminder. He was only 27 minutes.
😂

Loved it
Thanks Steve!
Beautiful photography. Scuppers; I should have noticed that Linda was lacking "scuppers" and what a silly oversight by those that did the previous conversion. I presume that in the original design the hatch covers might have overlapped the deck edge of the boat? Enjoying your blog and my recovery from a quadruple bypass is going well; thanks for your well wishes! Cheers (well maybe I have hold off the strong stuff for a few more weeks).
Quadruple bypass! You’re not messing around!
It seams that the reintroduction of leeboards in the 70’s was the problem and it was seen as enough to go with what they did. I was told my Rob, Chris Kabel’s son (the owner) that Chris was an accountant and some of the decisions were based on cost…. This is obvious in areas. The good news is that since the scuppers went in, no more puddles!
The deck boards that covered the hatch were canvassed and the water ran off the onto the deck and through the scuttles as you’d expect. But there were no leeboards from 1930 - 1975’ish. Diesel power in those years. So the scuttle were probably doing the job just fine….
Hope you’re having a speedy recovery and you will be back to the hard stuff in no time now that the limescale has been cleared from the plumbing! Modern medicine is amazing!
Lisa is right, you are famous 👍🏻
If only it was RICH and famous! 😂
Hi, why don’t you put a hight measuring stick on the very front of Linda at the same hight as the highest point of Linda at the back. A bendable stick would be best. If that marker at the front of the boat goes under then you will know all off Linda will go under the bridge if not you will know the exact amount of hight you are out. Love your vlogs
Hi Connor. Well, it turns out that when you fill the water tanks with the draft changes, but a new one is that the front of the boat rises out of the water and back sinks lower. The result would be that the measuring stick would say nope, but in fact the boat could get through. The best policy is to take it slow and learn from experience…. By bashing things.😂
@@canicebannon ok I understand that but you won’t be filling them for at least the next 3 year. Kind Regards Alan 😜😜😜😜😜😜
Loved the opening with you whistling the tune from The River Kwai…..that is dating me 😔. Great music and exceptional editing throughout. Thanks for the welding. I do love the possibility of a fire or burnt out eyes like Michael’s. I was afraid if you hit the bridge the baby in the stroller was going to be air-born. Love that you have people that recognize you and Linda on the River. Jorja is looking good also. Thanks for an extra long video. Have a good week. 🙏😊Kathy
I was looking at the edit and thought, too short to just release as just a working on stuff video, so I started the edit of the move and thought, I’ll give you both!
Of all the injuries and accidents I’ve caused I’ve never got arc eye from the welding. That’s something, I suppose.
Thanks for watching Kathy!

@@canicebannon Amazing! 👏
Brilliant again, very entertaining and inspiring. Can’t wait for the next instalment!
Thanks Koos! More on the way!
What a gorgeous area to pass through. Lovely!
It’s the most beautiful stretch of the River Lee. I’m so happy the weather was perfect to show it off!
Great vlog loving the nice white roof and dead bodies. Beautiful countryside in Herts. At the end, I see Gandalf has got himself a bicycle and not a horse at 25.36. 👍🏻
That was Gandalf the High-Vis.🧙♂️
@@canicebannon nice joke, it did make me giggle 👍🏻😂 well done. x
Show us your garden.
Will do!
9:40 Not that it’s important or even worth mentioning, that W at the end of ‘hou’ hurts every time.
Would you give us newbies a lesson on how to moore up single handedly, both along the canal and in a lock? Pweese?
Oh, that’s a really good idea! Will do!
@@canicebannon Thanks! I am now going to try and get Clifford out of my mind, the craitor;) Great video
Why are you the only one that has to move so often. Haven't seen any other barges in motion. Does Linda have an ankle bracelet that notifies the canal police of your relocations ? Cheers, otherwise.
Hahahah! I am one of those boaters who likes to share the nice spots! If I stay over 14 days I do get notified to move…. I like the cruising….😀
Canice as water management seems to be an issue on older barges and we can rule out design water flow given the size of the holes found currently, can you show or explain what your doing to prevent future issues? I see the plate over and larger holes but current boats as I know them use scuppers that follow a crown designed into the boat that acts like a gutter to remove water from the deck of a boat...
Yes to all you’ve said.
What’s going to happen is when I finish the welding and paint everything I’m going to pump water over the deck and show how the water disappears through the scuppers. However, the problem was that the Leeboards were reinstalled in 1975 (I think) and the holes they installed to allow the water down the deck were too small and blocked up. All I’ve done is bypassed the leeboards by putting a scupper either side.
Also Linda isn’t a banana shaped boat. It’s flat with an up lift at the front and rear. Banana shaped boats are more sought after and expensive as a result. The water flow is much better on a banana shaped boat.
@@canicebannon didn't realize they had banana dutch style barges, do you happen to know if they make them in banana, none flat(traditional boat not custom) as I saw a version of this state side but was custom, very ornate front and rear traditional to a Dutch with ⚓ no mast due to 🌩️ but had a bunch of money in it, and I lost my pictures of it but around 80 footer and 16 wide so she was more houseboat but still a barge, technically....for insurance and engine reasons....sported twin cummins n14 big rig motor, with massive prop...
@@SayWhatinAz That barge sounds like a beast!
Yes! All Dutch barges are banana shaped. 😂 And if anyone tells you otherwise, tell them I said so and they’ll back down immediately. 😎
@@canicebannon muchos gracias
Eh, eel conversation... conservation... At times English is a hard language to get right. Ah well...
Don’t worry you’re in good company as I had initially written “conversation”!😂😂😂
