Vlog 43: Going Through A Faze
A busy day in this one: 8 miles, some locks, a water refill, a loo emptying and a near-miss round a sharp bend. But all’s well that ended well. Except for the results of an irresponsible dog owner.

How to operate canal locks, with crew

One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is dog crap! I utterly have no tolerance for dog owners who allow their animals to crap on the ground and then, they don’t clean it up. One time, when I was commuting each week across the country, I entered the airport in San Diego, only to step in dog crap on the carpet inside the Terminal. I came across the owner who still had his ugly pooch outside of the pet carrier; it took everything within me not to scrape my shoes across his luggage to make a point, but I didn’t want to lose my non-rev flight benefits should the man complain. I had to go into the restroom and run my shoe under the sink to try to remove the dog crap. Yes! I was livid!
Further to my prior reply, it appears the new “YouTube Studio Beta” does enable me to chop out sections of an existing video so I have removed the reference to the booms and no turning signs.
Hello, thank you for your extensive description of the situation which is much appreciated. I would certainly be very upset if my boat was hit, as you say. The silt situation sounds quite frustrating too. Unfortunately it is not possible to edit a YouTube video once it has been uploaded but I will copy the salient points from your note into the video description. Regards, David
Loverly,- enjoyable… as usual But I DO have to agree with you about the canine crap which is EVERYWHERE… not only on canal banks. Mind you…. cat crap in one’s garden is even more smellie AND objectionable.
Thankfully, most cats bury their crap and are very clean and tidy. Mine (now sadly deceased) was very careful to bury his.
