    Great vlog, I think you both needed a sombrero for the hottest day. Some of those locks looked a bit scary. Bet it's reassuring that your boat got the all clear now, you must feel safer knowing it has no nasty holes. Good luck with refurbing the rest of the boat. ❤

    Luv the "parasol", brilliant. Nautical tip: when lassoing a shoreside strong point, take a turn around a cleat or bitt (bollard) aboard, and snub her using that to haul against. If you try to take the way off her directly, it'll be much harder, and, if you have the rope wrapped around your hand, she could bite you, or even have you over the side. And those red buoys? "Port hand" marks the left side of the channel when going "towards the land" (in this case, upriver). Were there any green ones on the other side? If so, you needed to be between them (in the middle). Would have loved to have seen more of that bridge in St. Ives but you passing under did prompt me to look it up. Oh, and the beasts were sweet too, big lickers those.

    Why don't you buy yourselves one of those larger umbrellas that they use at tables in beer gardens, get the type that has a locking hinge in the stem so you can set it at any angle you need to protect yourselves from either rain or sun, by either welding or bolting a steel tube on either side or both sides of the stern, you can just slip the stem of the umbrella into the tube but you also need a hole through the tube and stem of the umbrella so the wind can't get under the umbrella and blow it away.
    When you approach a low bridge or tunnel you can collapse the umbrella and then either fold it down at the locking hinge or lift it out of the tube.
