Vlog 11: Power Mad
A brief technical interlude before the video of the trip to Braunston because my battery charger packed up and suddenly the boat had no usable power. So in this video I explain how I diagnosed and resolved the problem.

Vlog 10: Captain Hook
In which I take stock of a few things that need doing on the canal boat and then do them. This involves drilling, screwing, and a whole lot more entirely unnecessary yet amusing innuendo.
Vlog 7: Paint Shop Boys
Not content with my “patch it and hope” painting of the rusty spots along the gunwales of my canal boat as seen in the last episode, I decided to try to do it properly. This did not entirely come to fruition, as I explain in this video.
Vlog 6: Giving the old girl a damn good service
At long last the time has come for the excellent Justin Green of JG Marine to visit the boat and do lots of work on it including an engine service (oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter etc), add the Adverc charge controller, change the old engine mounts and much more.
Vlog 5: Going Nowhere, Fast!
It’s now 3 weeks since the narrowboat became properly mine and yet I’m still not aboard and still not afloat. It’s OK, there are various reasons for this. I knew it would take a little time. Oh my, but it’s very frustrating!
Vlog 2: The Day That The Crane Came Down*
With my offer on the canal boat accepted, it was now time for a full survey to see if the boat has any problems.
What would Justin Green of JG Marine, Keith Meadowcroft of Voltmaster Systems and George Marshall of Audlem Boat Company find? And, will the vendor accept any haggling on the price afterwards?
This episode reveals all!
