Narrowboat on the Tidal River Thames - Teddington to Limehouse. Ep. 120.
Рет қаралды 187,143
3 жыл бұрынIt's our biggest challenge yet, tackling London's Tidal River Thames by narrowboat travelling from Teddington to Limehouse. One of the busiest stretches of river in the UK, the tidal River Thames has huge boats speeding past at up to 30mph and waves of up to 1.5 metres. It's not the safest place for our canal narrowboat! Can we make the 21 miles from Teddington Lock to Limehouse Marina safely and arrive in one piece?

@paulhaynes8045 3 жыл бұрын
Just watched it for the second time, and I think this is your best ever video - and not just because of the subject matter, but the editing is absolutely spot on. Congratulations to Shaun for his amazing boatmanship (I wondered if all those years manouvering a bus helped?!), and to Colin for his bravery for attempting something that he clearly did not want to do. But also congratulations to Colin for his editing - not easy to show yourself so honestly, when you could so easily have cut those bits out, but the tension between cool, calm Shaun and Collin's panic, gave the video the extra edge that made it special. Imagine that made for TV - a whole camera crew, a director and editor, multiple camera views, multiple re-takes and scripted shots dropped in in post. You have some talent there, Colin. The only thing missing was shots from the drone (that would have taken your mind off being scared!).
@FoxesAfloat 3 жыл бұрын
I totally agree about the drone, Paul. If there wasn’t a total ban along the entire stretch I would have sent it up for some shots of the boat on the river with the iconic landmarks behind. Thanks for truly appreciating the effort. x
@paulhaynes8045 3 жыл бұрын
@@FoxesAfloat pity about the ban. I can't decide if controlling a drone during all that would have been good for you - distracting you from what was going on - or would just have resulted in a total meltdown! But I was being tongue in cheek really - although airial shots would have added an interesting perspective, I think they would have distracted from the immediacy of what you were going through. It would all have looked too calm and controlled from above. What makes that video is the sense of danger and fear that comes over (albeit quite subtly) - we don't just know it's a real adventure, we feel it too. I only usually recommend your videos to people I think might like narrow boating, but I'd recommend this one to anyone - it's riveting watching, especially the way it starts so calmly and gradually builds up to the climax of that 180 degree turn and the 'only just' entrance to the lock. Shaun looks so calm and competent, but that must have been the most difficult thing he's ever done. I'd love to see more of the footage of that final bit - the outtakes look a hell of a lot scarier than the finished video. On a personal note, you're very lucky to have such a rock to depend on - as I guess you know!

Well done. That wa a very professional entry into Limehouse lock Sean! You guys has good weather (makes a huge difference) and quiet waters for ferry traffic, so it was a lovely trip for you. Doesn't London look special from the river! You would have laughed at our entry into Limehouse (years ago). We had wind and white horses on the waves in London, and just as we were making our turn into limehouse, (my husband had left me to do it and I alnost rolled our narrowboat in the waves), two of the huge ferries came from both directions. My husband (who had now taken over before I drowned both of us) cut the engine to let them go past... as we drifted helplessly down river. Then he gunned our struggling engine to 3,000 revs to climb the mountainous wash left by the two ferries. I was never so glad to tie up in a deep lock, in all my boating years. I must have shook for at least an hour. The lock keeper congratulated my husband on his entry against the odds. I hope you stayed clear of the Houses of Parliament (for next week's video)? We got too close on our upstream journey, and had a police boat come chasing after us! Great entertainment... Loved your journey! ❤️

Many things make you guys admirable, but what I love a LOT is that you tell us you are scared of doing something - already a MAJOR plus - and then, go and DO THE THING YOU ARE AFRAID OF! That is courage. Bravo!

I said this before, but this is the best yet. The use of music beginning at 5:10 builds in a continuity that pulls the viewer into the excitement which seems a tad oversold in the beginning, but delivers in the shots and the sense of motion that builds up. Then Captain Blood takes over and saves the day. Almost like a movie. That was fun. KUDOS to you both.

Excellent mastery, skipper ! I loved the calm of Sean while Colin was on the verge of panicking. I really enjoyed this adventure of yours but it was too short ! It reminded me of times when I used to sail alongside the Loire river, from the ocean to the city of Nantes. You 2 are really gentle persons, take the best care of you and be always happy, you deserve it. Jef, a Frenchman in Asia.

Shaun, as someone who suffers from PTSD and struggles to understand what my family go through trying to tolerate/support me. I just wanted to say what an absolute star you are in the way you must handle ups and downs with Colin. Each time Colin mentions his mental health it brings tears to my eyes and strikes a chord of acknowledgement. My hat is truly off to you. I did a video for the firefighters charity about PTSD and my condition. Colin you probably know about it, but the Headspace meditation app has helped me no end. Chins up guys.
