Well done both entertains has usual gd look on blacking and inspection at least you will no what the problem is tc now Ann n David 👍😉👋

40 years ago, next week, my wife and I were on honeymoon on the Great Ouse and Wissey. I took a plastic bathtub on hire from St Neots, and moored against the churchyard wall in Hemingford Grey the night before the wedding, then on to Hemingford Abbots in the morning. Walked back along the towpath for the wedding. The reception was held in the Abbots village hall and we walked across the meadow afterwards to the boat to begin our honeymoon. What we hadn't reckoned on was the Caravan Club rally in the meadow, which still in our wedding finest, we walked through. For two weeks everyone on the river knew about us, and in the riverside pubs we barely bought a drink, at one lock a couple celebrating their 40th insisted on sharing a couple of bottles of wine with us, even though there was a queue for the lock in either direction. We considered the tidal section, but our hire boat insurance did not cover us, so restricted ourselves to the approach to the Denver Sluice before turning around and making our way to the Wissey. As waterways go, it is exposed and windy, I'd like to be able to say that we were always fully in control of the boat, but that would not be quite true.

Really enjoyed this video.Look forward to some more Captain Chris capers,and Bex.Always calm

When you first started to talk about March I thought they have 7 months then I realised it’s a place not a date. I’m afraid I seem to be having a few senior moments. Love your videos they are the first thing I look for when I’m having my breakfast here in sunny ( mostly ) Australia 🇦🇺

Foreshadowing the next episode.....in which the spider discovers that scaring the stuffing out of Chris is a fun game. Everyone needs a hobby. It can be hours waiting for the next fly to land in the web.

Chris the walking, talking disaster (so humerous) and Becca, Chris' skills coach, so competent Ying and Yang. Love your channel. 😁

“Nice and quiet here”……..lorries roar by in the background and Thor rages his hair wind at you! 😂

Wishing you safe travel on the last leg of your epic journey, your vlogs go a long way to thinking i live a boring normal life Keep up the entertainment and dont panic 🙂

Another great video guys. Nikki and I didn’t laugh when you fell over Chris… MUCH!! 😂 love it, you guys rock 🤘🏼

Favourite quote of the vlog: “Becca’s finally fully trained me on how to turn the inverter on” 😂😂

Hi Becca Chris,bloody hell yes it’s windy still you have time once you away from the bank and across other side you will be fine just be. Careful of the quick gear change can rip drive plat of flywheel ok ,not a bad place to stop for the night ,well safe journey to fox,s Marina wish I had seen you in March I wold love to have met you two .till next time take care keep safe,👀🌹🥳🤩🤤❤️❤️💨💨🌬🌬🌈☀️🌝🌖

That was truly one of your best Vlogs. Great work Chris, your narration was hysterical and you were great on the tiller! Glad that you are properly trained on the inverter. 😂 Becca was cool and calm, loved the hair toss in the wind. Take care and thank you for sharing. 🙏😊🤗 Kathy

Wow Chris that wind was strong but you did in the end. We love how you work together great couple. Take care

This is the first one! I mean with real problems. To much wind in one place! But as long as you both are safe all i well. Thank you

amazing evening cruise👍

When I enterd that slus in 1992 I had cheering aprovel from people on the bridge. I had at that point in time 2 hours empiriens in driving a narrowboat.😁 I almost crashed to plastic crusiers.😂 My wife will nerver set foth on a narrowboat again, she still say everytime the subject comes up.🤪

High tide ALWAYS is an hour later per day - twice a day; except of course when we change the clocks! Going from Denver Lock to Salter's Lode Lock is always harder than the other way round. It's the entrance into the lock when you are also fighting the tide or the wind that makes it worse. Almost at March and Fox's Marina 👏👏

So much fun guys. I was looking forward, but with trepidation, to the tidal bit but you did it without problem. That bloody wind, the extra weight you carry properly didn’t help, once underway the weight could be in your favour but getting started maybe not, but eh I don’t know. That was fun and thanks for taking us along. Look forward to the next vlog. Take care see you soon. 💕

Becca, Chris, what a nice relaxing Cruise. Well done on entering the river. That wind was strong, and you did a good job pulling away from the bank. You guys are great. Take Care.

Fremsley (narrowboat) The spiders are dancing elegantly tonight The radio is loud and clear Tired of dreams of boats on hills It's time to move on to pastures new The bonds that tie us can be broken And we can start to live life anew. Like a baby Resting on a table Like a baby Resting on a table They are rowing to the shore They all feel their spirits are broken And tears are rolling down their cheeks And their eyes are shot through with pain And they laugh out loud Because they know they've got it all again Like a baby Resting on a table

Popped over to Salters Lode to have a look at the lock a few days ago as it was a nice day to get the motorbike and go for ride, the tide was out and there was a lot of mud!

Well done Becks and Chris, no disasters, bet you will be pleased when you enter the marina. Fingers crossed servey will be ok or at least nothing major. 🙏

Well done Chris 👏🏻👏🏻 even better with low water levels as they are, less flow at low tide👍🏼

Yay. Great vlog. Loving the spider shots tooo lol. Best wishes. Ur nearly there

I was anxious thinking you wasn't going to get moored. Great video

Great video as always my boatiful friends

Great fun Becca and Chris. Wishing you all the best with the inspection and fixes. D

Not much tide to contend with this time of year so you shouldn't get swept away...danno about that wind though 😮

Ohh I'm looking forward to hearing your results on survey Day. Well done on the nifty sailing. I really hope you have good news.

Love you guys! Always so entertaining and humorous! I really look forward to seeing what the pair of you are getting up to next! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! 😊🌻x

I didn't know you did a blog. Love this ❤

Well that was easy going ! No mortified titan or any thing 😞oh well ! Excited for the next vlog ! Love you guys ! X

Good stuff.

You’ll be happier on the canals . We couldn’t wait to get off the river nene , now on canals it’s bliss

I phoned Fox's marina and I couldn't stay onboard for 4 nights. So I'll have to find a hard standing. It's not bad value. £11.75 per foot. That's they do all the work and supply the stuff and put it back in. I must of missed you passing me. I was on the Wissey or being stuck in Brandon. See you on the cut rips.

Did Becka wear those sun-Glasses So we couldn't see the Old - 'Swivel-Eye' - going on ?? 😂😂

Improvise adapt and overcome any thing is possible for you both hope you don't have to much welding need doing but Chris's brother Kevin can weld hint hint

I used to live in E Anglia but the wind blew me down south.l still have a soft spot for the Fens ,great fishing and pubs !

windy

👍👌❤🇨🇦

So my computer completely and totally imploded/died - unfixable. Had to get another, and nothing drives home the bigger screen, higher res, etc. than looking up Chris's nose, lol.

What did you about the very rusty narrowboat you passed? Just nar the Aquarduct

Don't you have a barge pole to push the front around while still being onboard ?

Word is that spiders mean you no harm unless they write your name in the web - no worries mate

What happens to Queens Chain farmer cannot own river banks

Y'know... coming up is the sort of comment my wife would react: "don't be such a knob" but I have to say 0:37 it's not the Great River Ouse; its the River Great Ouse.. Oh gawd.. I can hear her grinding her teeth as I write this, snarling with a frothy mouth and expelling something such as "don't you have better things to moan about?' Quite frankly no,... I like being annoying - my Dad taught me everything I know... Have an extra hunt for that Imray Guide (have a look in the locker under the bed) because the more you know the less annoying I will be. Happy Boating!
