After 48 hours on the visitor mooring at Netherwich Basin in Droitwich Spa, I reversed my path up the Droitwich Barge Canal and headed back out downstream on the River Severn.
I went through Worcester, past Upton-on-Severn and into the River Avon at Tewkesbury, having executed dramatic overtaking manoeuvres. battled loose logs and coped with any army of tiny spiders.

If a bloke does a vlog entirely dedicated to showing himself on a canal boat, you should expect to hear that bloke chuntering on about his trip on his boat. Funny that isn't it. Carry on countering, some of us, clearly, enjoy it.

Baby spiders migrate by climbing out on a high branch and letting out a meter or so of silk. The wind catches the strand and wafts the spider-lings into the faces of passing boaters. Completing Nature's circle of Annoyance...

@karlfair 6 жыл бұрын

David, wow cranking on at 6 knot, you speed demon. Your boat being pushed to the opposite side is caused by the hydraulic pressure your boat created the when moving into the lock with a very shallow draft. The Huston ship channel the is famous for this problem. The ships running close to the channel edge will progressively have to the add more and more rudder to hold a course. Eventually the ship will make a turn in the opposite direction of the rudder angle due to the pressure between the hull and the side of the channel. Try holding more to the center the until you reduced the most of your speed, then move to the side you want to tie up to. Also, look a propeller effect, the direction your propeller turns changes the way your boat maneuvers learning about it will help you quite a bit in your boat handling skills. Really enjoying this trip.

@CruisingTheCut 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks. The prop effect I'm used to but this was the first time I'd had that push sideways at the front!

I started boating on the cut at Kinver in the 70's and I've done all these trips on the Severn and Avon over thirty odd years afloat, including the Bristol Channel where I've been shiprecked twice. Moved to France when I retired but back now and I've bought another boat which I'm renovating and can't wait to get back on the water in my own 70's. Love your vids, you've inspired me. Your wit is nearly as good as mine so keep it up.

The word 'Avon' was the Saxon word for river. That's why we have so many rivers called Avon. The Roman map makers would point at the water and ask the local man: "What's that called?" because of course he wanted the name of the river for his map. But instead he got the answer "It's the River".

I worked as a shipyard rigger at one time and my father was a first mate on Mississippi tug boats. Most of my adventures were on motorcycles and I rode in all the lower 48 states and got Alaska during a trip to the Arctic Circle. I do enjoy a story told well and you seem to be good at it. Thanks for sharing.

@allorenz6591 6 жыл бұрын

I believe the vibration you felt from the prop crossing wakes on the river is called cavitation. Higher speed motor boats use "cupped" edges on the props to cure this. The pressure waves of the wake at your stern and the high entry point of a narrow boat"s prop above the hull bottom are the factors leading to cavitation.

I think what forces you to the middle of the large locks when you enter is the pressure wave that the bow creates as it moves forward in the water.

@brianrydzeski6108 3 жыл бұрын

Lock poltergeist's... I have been through locks on the Mississippi river. When entering, your boat is displacing water. When you enter, the water moves sideways. Since you are closer to one side, the displaced water pushes off that side, and moves you the wrong direction. My apologies if this has already been mentioned. I very much appreciate the Vlog's. Thank you. Cheers.

Small and baby spiders can take to the air by letting out a line of silk. The wind catches the silk and it lifts the spider into the air to travel any where the wind brings them. You might have been going through an area where baby spiders got big enough to travel by air and disperse themselves away from their birth place and happened to crash land into you. LOL

Your small spiders are probably spider young leaving the nest. They climb up trees and let out a long thin line of silk and then let the wind blow the silk and them where they may go. It's how they propogate, called ballooning I guess they hope they don't land in the river but or get stuck on a guy on a narrowboat just passing by.

Curious fun possible fact for you, I believe the words Nene, Aire, and Ouse (as in the River Ouse, or Great Ouse), and a few other river names also originate from old latin words for river. I may have been told this by a slightly inebriated man in a pub, but if it stands true, it does amusingly mean that a large portion of the UKs river network is actually called, quite simply, the "river river".
