50. Panic! Trying Not To Sink Our Narrowboat on the Ribble Link!

It's Narrowboat Silver Fox's first big challenge! Trying Not To Sink Our Narrowboat on the Ribble Link!
In this vlog we take Silver Fox from Tarleton Lock, down onto the River Douglas, the tidal Ribble Estuary, and onto the narrow, winding Savick Brook, onto the Millennium Ribble Link towards the Lancaster Canal.
As we fight the incoming tide, Colin is panicking because water is coming in the gas lockers at the bow, and waves are as high as the gunwales! Shaun is chilled, and ex-navy seaman taking the rough crossing in his stride.
Thank you to the Canal and River Trust for allowing us to use the map, as featured in their Skipper's Guide to the Ribble Link. You can download the full guide here; canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/...
More information on the Ribble Link can be found here: canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-...

    Hi guys. Love the vlogs. I sit here, landlocked in Las Vegas, taking care of my 90 year old dad. Last month I discovered the SV Delos videos - brothers sailing around the world - caught up on 7 years worth of videos and now only get 1 new one a week. Then I found you guys!!! Yay! I love your humor and honesty - it's not all ice cream and rainbows, but you get through it. Loved all the bits about building the boat and now, I am so enjoying cruising up and down the canals with you. You are a balm for a locked in girl who is wondering if her country is going to survive the year. Keep t up. Happy boating!

Shaun does extremely well handling the boat and keeping you calm. He is your perfect partner. Power on Silver Fox!

I love the choice of thumbnail for 49, my eyebrows raised when I saw it and it didn't disappoint - what an adventure you had. This vlog was just of good. Two vlogs in a row that show cruising canals is not all chugging pounds between locks but a narrow boaters life is full of variety. I never knew you had to rely on CRT volunteers so much. Have you considered laying on some Silver Fox charm and persuading one to give you a lengthy interview? That would be very interesting.

    As a Preston lad, I remember watching the ships coming up the river when the docks were working. Several thousand tons some of them, so no wonder you felt small in your little boat. I also lived in Hesketh Bank. Didn't even know there was a canal near there! The Douglas was always a muddy, shallow creek when I saw it. I used to fish on the Lancaster canal, and didn't know you could access the Ribble from it. All in all, I've learned something from this. Great video. Thanks.
