Ah Nick you posted this up when we were taking our first proper trip out on our new to us boat, an 80km trip along the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, from Kerkhoven to Maasmechlen with the yacht club, 10 boats leaving at various days and times heading east and south. Ours was the oldest boat, a Placom 750, she is 45 years old, and we were last to leave. At a fairly steady 8km/h sog it took us 10 hours of sailing and an overnight stop in Bocholt, then 2 nights in Maasmechlen with BBQ etc and great company, then 2 days traveling back the 80km to Kerkhoven on the Kanal naar Beverlo. Only decision made over the extended weekend was that we want a bigger boat :) Great to see you out and enjoying yourself again Nick. Tomorrow, another day out and a tapas somewhere along the canal side now praying for some better weather.

Marvellous - When I started watching with my Wife 3 years ago, we thought it was all very aesthetically pleasing and plush with all these amazing boats, but more importantly we have grown to enjoy your trips for the journeys of the soul! We have two choices - keep watching you enjoying yourself or secondly get a boat ourselves (One day!!🤔) !!! Thanks for all your insights into a world we may never have considered 5 years ago Nick! All the best and thanks for great video 👍 Thanks to Gregg and his partner too, as the three camerapersons adds to our involvement 😎 HAPPY DAYS! ☀🐬🚤

I don't think I've ever enjoyed myself on the water so much whilst being on land! I felt as though I was right there with you all the way 😃 What an absolutely blissful journey Nick, thanks so much for taking us along! Also massive respect for your excellent taste in music 😁 I was thinking as you were pointing out different boats along the way, about how bad I am at recognising builders/models of boats, and I wondered if you might one day be able to make a video on how you identify different boats. As a pilot I was taught with aircraft recognition to use things like placement of engines, position of wings and shape of fuselage etc to help differentiate aircraft from one another. I assume it's a similar thing with boats but wonder what the telltale features of a princess/sunseeker etc are. I appreciate it's outside of your format, but even if you could include little informative bits in your future videos about typical hallmarks of boat builders I'd be very grateful, considering your expertise in the field. As always I just love your content Nick, you're my absolute (pardon the pun) favourite KZread channel. Thanks for your marvellous videos and I'll look forward to catching you on another one again real soon 😃

At last! The spring has arrived! Well done Nick

I'm sure that was the Faith no more version of Easy. Nic is truly a man of taste!

Hard stuff first couple of trips on your own Nick but thanks for bringing us virtual sailors along, boat looks so comfortable in those conditions ❤
