139. Cruising south on the Grand Union canal in my narrowboat
#narrowboat #narrowboats #canal #canals #liveaboard #cruisingthecut
No, I have not sold the boat. No, I do not live in a van now.
You might not believe it - but I'm going off cruising. Yes, in my own boat. Before the winter maintenance shutdown begins in November, I've got two months to chug around the canals so I've decided to head south, down the Grand Union towards London.
I won't go anywhere near the centre of the City - or really much towards the outskirts - because it's so busy and just plain grotty down there. Big cities are not my thing. However, I'll head down in that general direction until the end of September and then turn around and come back up again before mooring for winter once more. This is the first of my trip vlogs.

Thanks love the canals boats
I've enjoyed your other videos, but there's nothing like sitting back to one of your cruising videos. Been waiting all year!
Best video yet, you make us feel like we are there, standing next to you. *THAT IS WHY WE WATCH YOUR CHANNEL* Thanks David for taking us along with you.
Nice to see you cruising again. For some reason I find these videos very relaxing. Thank you.
Hooray the adventures begin once more!!!! Wonderful to see you cruising again. Thank you David for your commitment and videos. Jo
Yas! Delighted you're back!
David, I find your videos so relaxing. They are usually the last thing I watch at night before retiring to bed. I replay them in my mind as I slowly drift off to sleep. They make for the most pleasant of dreams. Thank you so much.
David, I love watching your episodes. Very relaxing and well done.☮

Many thanks!
Welcome back! We missed you!...;0)
It's a lazy, rainy Saturday here in Louisville Kentucky, and how enjoyable it was to wake up to a new Cruising the Cut vlog. The scenery was amazing, especially when I could see my favorite of all trees -- the Weeping Willow. David, keep living the dream.
Miss these cruising vids, nicely done, thank you
Very excited for another cruise. Thank you very much.
You have no idea how much this Vlog was needed. I just need to see Britain from a narrowboat. You have averted a major newsworthy disaster. I'm only partially kidding.
Good stuff. Great to see you back!
Great to see the workers in the video 😎
Wonderful, you are back!
And again thanks for the trip! always enjoy these trips with you.
Blooming marvellous 👍🏼
Glad to have you back Cruzin!!!!!!
Scenery absolutely stunning.
Thrilled you've resumed the cruise vlogs!
Just lovely as always. What a beautiful stretch of canal.
I’ve missed your blogs, glad to see your back!
Always a joy to watch your video exploits D! Stay safe:)
So glad you're underway again! This has made my day!
HOORAY He's Back.
Excellent episode! Thanks for posting:)
Nice to see you back.
Good to see you back mate!
With a horn on the front to warn other boats, I can only assume that the bell at the helm must be to call up for a G&T from the galley. Good idea!

As a solo live-aboard David might have a bit of a heart attack if that worked though. ;-) Um, question: T stands for Tea, that's no question. Not being a Brit myself, I can't think of anything useful for the G though - so what does it stand for? What it does not stand for is: Gookie, Gandwich, Goffee, Gin (maybe, though drinking and driving don't mix all that well, including on the canals), Gracker, Gheese, Groissant... though, the Swiss word for Croissant would be "Gipfeli", so that might work.

Yes I do agree a man after me own heart. But cheese sandwiches must have mayonnaise to be a proper sandwich. Hint Hint Nudge Nudge a nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat
YAY!!! back on the cuts, What a wonderful video. I wish you safe travels...
Just what I needed. Thank you David. Glad to see you back on the canals. Can’t wait to take my first trip next year.
