The stern gland greaser "should be" for greasing the white metal shaft bearing behind the stuffing box, not really much to do with the packing.

Hi Matt. On a narrowboat, the stern gland greaser lubricates the packing, so it is very much to do with it. I know other systems are like you describe.

If I am not mistaken, that ornate boathouse used to be a lot MORE ornate. What you see now is what is left of the original structure. That terraced hillslope at 19:21 is intriguing! How's Reggie's paw ? Doesn't appear to have affected the old lad's appetite. As a real ale aficionado (won't turn up my nose at a good lager though) I am envious of those canal side pubs. Onwards.

Hi Alan & Sally (& Reggie), lovely watching you cruise along our local Lancaster canal and having some beautiful weather to go with it too. I used to work in one of the old mills next the canal in the city centre (the one with the red conical tower) and loved watching the boats travel past from the office window, but as I retired last September I now have more time to walk along the canal instead, it’s a shame I didn’t spot you to say hello 👋. Looking forward to the next episode.

Hi Sue, thank you for your lovely comment, I hope you're enjoying your retirement. I can't think of a better view to have out of an office window, than over a canal watching the boats glide by. We stop in Lancaster on our return journey and visit one of your local 'attractions'. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend. Alan and Sally.

I have a question would it be technically possible to upgrade the British Canal Network so that Wide Beams could travel the entire network? Also would it be possible to change the gauge of the Scotland Canals so English Narrowboats can gain access?
@MyNarrowboatVenture
@MyNarrowboatVenture 5 күн бұрын
Hi Terence the canals were dug 200 years ago using picks, shovels and wheelbarrows, so yes it is technically possible but the cost would be humongous, as so much infrastructure would have to change, locks, bridges, canal widths etc! The few Scottish canals there are, are wide enough to accommodate wide beams. The topography between England and Scotland would make it a non-starter. Cheers

@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725 5 күн бұрын
@MyNarrowboatVenture thanks and of course and a big part of why the Canals are do popular with leisure boats is because the industrial users are not needing the waterways as much with road and rail being more efficient.

I think I’d have issues with getting through the door of NB Linden, in ways both vertically and horizontally 😁 What a beautiful pub Th’Owd Tithe Barn is. I very nearly ended up on the Lancaster, but alas despite getting through an initial first stage job interview, it wasn’t to be. I still think, to be that close to one of the most breathtaking areas of England (the Lake District) and the peace, relaxation and beauty of the canal, you’d be spoiled for choice. Great work Alan, Sally and Reggie.
