12. A narrowboat cruise on the Grand Union Canal, to Braunston

#narrowboat #narrowboats #canal #canals #liveaboard #cruisingthecut
I was supposed to be taking the narrowboat to a winter mooring in Warwickshire but for reasons I explain in this video, I didn't. Instead of cancelling the trip though - as I had invited a friend along to show me how to do canalboating properly - we went for a two-day cruise to Braunston. This is the video of that trip.

    David, As an author I am in awe of your word choice. Is this a natural talent where the delicious descriptions roll off your tongue, or does it take considerable time to deliver such pleasant moments?

    This might be a strange question, but how do you keep forward of the cill when doing a lock solo? Doesn't your boat still just move about even when tied up?

    Waiting at the tunnel entrance, you mentioned a boat was coming through. How did you know?

    I've been poor, and middle class, and if I were a rich man I would still love the simple pleasure of a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.

    I hope someday the people at Warwick find out just how big of a mistake they made. All that free publicity out the port hole.

    There's much to be valued in CruisingTheCut despite the giddy banality of our hostess. CruisingTheCut remains a pleasant soporific much like Clonazepam.

    Knowing next to nothing about narrow boats and boating explantion of CILL and tunnerl is interesting. I didn't realize that some tunnels could handle 2 way direction at once

    P.S. I recently did a very in depth research concerning the outlook and work of Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers), so I feel I may be a bit more qualified than the average bloke to judge such things.

    I never give compliments if I don't really mean them. I really am enjoying your series. It is interesting and even relaxing to watch.

    I just need to relax after a busy day and what better way to do it than join David on one of his canal ventures. He does all the work, and I get to listen to him chat. Absolute bliss.
