3:20 - easiest tip! One gentle pull over to prime the engine, then short pulls to get the engine up to the compression stroke (you can feel it, when it gets to the 'resistance' - that's TDC on compression) String all the way in, lock the shoulder and use your upper body and away she goes :)

Could just imagine you two on a rickshaw rally. The videos would be amazing. Have watched a few and it seems that the engine/electrical issues encountered on a long distance rickshaw run will make boat life seem easy. Love your videos
Take the recoil starter off the generator. Find beg or steal a socket that fits on the big nut underneath. Then use a battery drill to the spin the engine on the genny. It worked on our old lawnmower. just make sure the socket is a loose fit on the nut.

Hi Danni and Joe, Stay warm and keep some heat on that back Joe. And It was really nice to see your meetup with Ben and Emily. Oxford looks nice. Cheers!
If you like Indian food you must go to India! We kept our sailboat in Kerala after sailing there from Turkey. We travelled all over the sub-continent, usually by train and staying with local people in homestays. It's cheap and gets you close to the real India. The beaches are average, but the mountains, deserts and rainforests are spectacular. The history is rich and the people are incredibly friendly. BUT. It's Marmite: you love it or hate it. For us, the best food was in Kerala, particularly the breakfasts. And for veggies there are few better places to be than India. We've been travelling for 20 years, and our three favourite countries so far are India, Turkey and Indonesia (where we are right now). I hope you live your dream of travelling everywhere. Liz 🙏⛵📷

Be careful with pallet wood, only because they are used in storage containers back and forth overseas and very often have chemical traces or spillage on them. Just would hate you to breathe anything like that into your lungs...I know it seems like a steal at the time ' free wood' but I'd stick to random branches or just pick some up, your health is your wealth , great vlog, you two make me giggle with your banter 😊

Hi Joe/Danni, thanks for sharing the highlights of your week. If my memory serves me correctly, this is the first time you have been full-time cruising during January, and the London metro canal congestion, as well as Joe's back being out of commission are making life "interesting" shall we say? Anyway... try to make the best of it and enjoy those many restaurants and other things London has to offer while you are there. I hope the problems resolve soon - Best Regards!

It’s been an experience for sure - it’s been difficult navigating around the stoppages for repairs to locks etc so we’re currently stuck below one that opens up in a few days, then we’ll have a few miles to play with before the next swing bridge isn’t opening until March!

You probably know, but going up stream, whatever side you end up in in the lock, open the opposite paddle first, it forces the boat to one side. Also, please get a nice pair of work boats, no more (French man in sandals........Philip phlop) and no more trendy trainers. Work boats are cheap and last for years, save the trendy trainers for trendy pubs.

I will bet dollars against dog c--p that all of the recycling is put in a pit. Here in the states I worked on garbage pits putting the water catchment and the liners. Yes they separated it into big square bundles only to stack it in the pits to cover with clay. You can not recover the costs to ship to user points so it is all slight of hand. If you believe you shall see no evil. It is not cost effective for companies to use it if there is shipping involved. Good for you for trying to make things better.

Although I’ve heard that damp cold is worse than the dry cold here in south western Canada, maybe you’ll feel a bit better about your temp there knowing that we just got through a week of temps between -45 - -51 C. It was cold! We plugged vehicles in so they’d start. Life still goes on, but we don’t spend much time outdoors when it’s that cold. Stay warm you two!
