I LOVE THIS SITE!!! Living in Hawaii and thinking of doing some narrow boat cruising when my friend and I visit your part of the world. We are both a very healthy early 60ʻs full of p and v.
Will keep watching to get some ideas about where to go, and to hire a smaller boat for a week. I am a commercial salmon fishermanʻs daughter and have a little boating experience.
Aloha and love your videos watching them on youtube tv. Way more attractive than r-ving.

Thank you, I’m glad you like them!
First, let me thank you. I discovered your site a few months ago, and your videos have brightened an otherwise dreary Michigan winter.
You asked for website suggestions; I have two Youtube sites I’ve followed for a while.
1. Townsends. These vlogs focus on colonial American life, with an emphasis on cooking. But he’s also built a dugout canoe, lean-to shelters, made oil cloth, and so on.
2. Abroad in Japan. He’s English and has lived in Japan for a few years teaching English. Funny, if a bit coarse at times.
So thanks again for the many pleasant hours you’ve provided!
Cheers Sarah, glad you enjoy the videos!
Could a person really use a horse or I suppose pony to pull a narrow boat from town to town? There seems to be a lot of things the tow rope would have to be lifted over. All those boats parked on the towpath side with their ariel’s up and the chimneys.
Nowadays it would certainly be quite awkward for sure; how the few trip boats that uses horses get around the problem, I do not know. Back when the canals were purely for commercial freight there would likely have been none / few of the boats moored along the cut as there are now.
David: I just discovered these, several highly well done mini Aircraft Specific documentary’s . These are exceptionally researched and equally well narrated. The gentleman uses his own 3 D Drawings. Check these out, you’ll be glad you did. See: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1ZBQ-F-yktYD4m5AzM6pww/videos
Cheers Michael, I’ll have a look
