The title suggests sarcasm but this actually is very exciting, love honesty boxes and the like it puts faith in humanity back into my heart

With your narration, you, Sir, are the David Attenborough of the English canal system. You even make the engineering of the drainage systems sound fascinating.

Thank you

I swear, sometimes the titles to your videos are the real highlights. Starting off with a giggle is wonderful.

Farms to the left of me, joggers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with ewes.

Well done on proving the world still has some good willed and honest people in it. Very beautiful scenery to boot,too. Thanks for shining and sharing your lil bit of light with us.

It is the most horrible of seasons here in The States, the summer of Election Season. It is hard to express how soothing this video is upon my soul. One of your best. Sorry I have been so lax in following your adventures lately. I will correct that by binge watching.

I am in agreement with you Fred ....over your northern border but sending you good vibes all the way....bless you all !

After being told all the bad things occurring everywhere it is great to just relax and watch David's boat float through the beautiful English countryside as he calmly explains what is happening.

Great to see a little bit of WW2 history as you started the last part to Willington on the left.

You taught me a new word: twitchy. I understand that feeling! I have never found the perfect word for when someone comes up behind my car and just s i t s there without passing, though I am 100% sure they want to. That’s when I feel twitchy! PS I am a Scandinavian who have lived in ‘Merica for eons, and I still pick up new words. Love your videos! Your commentaries are so quiet and pleasant with just a touch of British humor. Keep it up!

David, I cannot wait to purchase several copies of your cookbook, '101 Ways to Make a Cheese Sandwich'. It will be great to read how you describe the different types of cheese and breads and all the different condiments and vegetables that could be added. Please keep me advised of the publication date and how to order. Keep up the great vlogs, I hunger for more.

I rather suspect that there are no "different types of cheese and breads" - David strikes me as a strict conventionalist when it comes to cheese sandwiches. White sliced and medium mature cheddar - the only way. Anything else is an abomination.

It seems everyone was looking forward for another vlog from you cruising the cut. Including myself. So many likes in less than 45 minutes. Looking forward for another vlog soon.

Title missing pun. It's like you don't carrot all anymore.

Found your channel randomly a few weeks ago as a suggestion and after the first video i was hooked, have been binging the vlogs ever since..

I don't know why but I always feel calm after watching these.

It's a great day when "CruisingTheCut" new video shows up. Thanks David for the good video. Wish there was more of them. When you binge watch all the previous episodes and your whole Vandemonium channel, its hard to wait a while between new ones... 👍👍🍺🍺

Your VLOGs always make me feel happy when I'm feeling down. Thank you for doing what you do so we can live it vicariously.

I've watched all your previous videos, and have since started randomly re-watching them, as they come up in my YT feed. I possibly appreciate them more this time around.

11:39 love that 'chuff chuff' of a vintage engine.

Those carrots will help keep your eyes sharp for those narrow entrances to the locks and going under the bridges 😏

very restful with the sound of the water - Thanks for another great cruise!

What an idyllic lifestyle you've carved out for yourself. I'm jealous but not envious, if that makes sense. Thank you again for sharing your journey.

Random comment. You were on channel 5 Sunday. Showed you reporting on Dale farm 👍

I recently came across your you tube channel and absolutely love it. I am from Pennsylvania in the USA, so I don't think we have anything quite like your canals. Love the narrowboats and the beautiful countryside. Would love to come to England some day and tour the canals, but that will probably never happen. We do have the Erie Canal in New York State that runs from Hudson Bay to Lake Erie that was built in the early 1800's to open up the west. I may have to venture up that way next year to see if I can find a place that offers tours of part of the canal. I have been on part of the canal near Buffalo, and we went through two or three locks. That was very interesting. You have a gift of making your vlogs interesting and informative. I love the beautiful scenery, the countryside, the animals (yes, even the swans) and especially enjoy your sense of humor. I find myself tensing up as you are going through an especially narrow passageway. There is a man here in the US that does a similar vlog as you do ,only his is in a RV. He travels all over the US and narrates different areas of the country. He helped me get through the shutdown here in the states. If you ever get a chance, his you tube channel is: Traveling Robert. Hope this comment isn't too long. Should have broken it up some. Thanks for all your hard work in filming and editing. Great job!!!!

We loved it when we came across the honesty boxes. It's something you don't see very often here.

Another fantastic video, thank you, Burton's canals must have been so busy with all the breweries to serve.

Hi Dave. Great to see you cruising through newark today. I was the chap giving you a wave just before kings marina. Wreyland was looking lovely in the autumn sunshine. Thanks for chatting back.

David: Although I have had many screen names, I have been a watcher of yours since almost the beginning. The beautiful countryside, the placid canal and your voice over are the main attractions to your channel. Not many canals in Arizona, but I really find the narrow boat life to be compelling and fulfilling. I especially like your "Not-a-Vlog" videos as well. DB

I can just imagine the carrot seller; "That #$@*! He paid 30p for all my carrots when they were supposed to be 30p EACH!"

I always enjoy your videos David.

Spotted SAS sheep. Now I've heard crazy comparisons about the SAS in my time in the Army, but that one seriously takes the cake. Its a best I've heard. By the way, I'm sharing this on my Face book page. Only because I like it, plus your crazy humor.

4 mph. No man can go that speed and live.

3:40 -- This happens to me routinely on streets: An obstruction partially blocks the road, so I slow in order to let pass a driver travelling towards me. However, he also slows for the same reason, so the two of us end up trying to squeeze past the obstruction.

The reflexions are precious!👍✌️😊🙏🏼

A lovely day for cruising. My word what a burst of keen acceleration from ol' reliable when you left the facilities to moor up!!

What an absolute pleasure to watch as always. The perfect tonic in this strange world we are currently experiencing. Your vlogs remind me of when, as a boy, I used to watch “Out of Town” with Jack Hargreaves. Always interesting, relaxing, beautifully presented and just pure Gold.

David thank you for the beautiful views of the canal and locks . I suppose you know that the expression" going for a Burton " derives from Burton on Trent where there were not only the Mansfield Brewery but many many more. Of course going for a Burton means going for a beer.

Those are mighty fine carrots David. Fair brought a lump to my throat. My carrots at the allotment were a disaster this year. Every critter for miles seemed to have a chew at them. I'd love an update on yours, and how they tasted.

Once again I enjoyed your vlog, good stuff

I don't know what special lens you use on your special camera but, every time I watch your video, I spend the next few hours shopping for a narrowboat. Nothing looks more ideal than living in a narrowboat and following your.... not footsteps on a narrowboat and rarely see a wake....hmm......nothing looks more ideal than following your lead and live aboard a narrowboat of my own. Porridge for breakfast, painting every morning on top of the boat or at a side hatch, a nice tea in a village near the canal and evenings with a breeze and a nice cocktail before cleaning up and preparing for sleep. Every day my own and bringing the grandkids on board for every school break where we will find a new adventure and discover something special each time. I don't know what gets into me! But I do enjoy every mental vacation. Thanks for that! I do love the hat and actually remember when you got it. And I actually saw your boat slicing a path through the water. You are a regular adrenaline junkie! Are you still happy with your choice to toss it all and move onto your boat? Do you still do the occasional freelance gig?

this was a very picturesque n/b journey . we were able to view again the programme on your coal stove and the gentleman from denmark with his diesel heated sailboat . we like the coal stove because of ambience , and the convenience of the bag and storage . thanks for sharing . cheers.
