There's no need to worry about giving an unexpected wave. My old Dad only had one eye and other chaps would mistake his closed non eye for a deliberate wink. Back before our currently (slightly) enlightened personal freedoms, Dad would get lots of unexpected winks. He quite liked the attention. Maybe the fishermen like the attention too. I often answer people in the street only to discover they're talking on the phone.

I've got to agree with you Michelle, in a world dominated by trash talk and negativity it's so refreshing to just watch 2 wonderful guys enjoying what they are doing. Great history lessons too! I paddle board many of the canals around Lincolnshire, have you a vlog on any of those?

Thanks for the lovely things you said about Milton Keynes. We love living there, just a two minute walk from the canal in fact, so we really appreciate the ‘linear park’ that runs along it. We can walk or cycle for miles in greenery through the city. Love how you’ve made the boat safe for Otis.

That crash was like spotting a kingfisher with a camera at the ready. Boat Tubers speak of the hire boats, but you captured footage. Sir David Attenborough: "And here comes the holiday boater, the wind in his heart as the female watches for the inevitable. No worries, Mother Bird, the foliage makes for a soft landing." (I laugh because this could be me. lol)

Here is a bit of unasked for information. I was on the Grand Union 10 years ago and met a man who had studied the aquadynamics of boats. He said that in days gone by narrow boats approaching each other would keep to the centre of the the canal and flick to starboard at the last moment. He reckons passing boats can't crash because their opposing wash keeps them apart. Overtaking boats are more likely to touch because they attract each other. Sean's strategy seems to work because the physics says it must.

This brings me back memories Colin and Shaun I used to live in Buckinghamshire until 2008 it's nice that you guys went past Milton Keynes as specially the wolverton aqueduct I remember my family and I used to walk at Cosgrove and walked towards the wolverton aqueduct it got some nice walks there in the distance you can see the trains going past I remember going down the steps because the footpath takes you from the aqueduct towards castlethorpe.
