Unfortunately, due to a bit of an issue with Amazon (to do with showing the show in the UK), I am unlikely to compile Season Five but new videos will always appear here on this website and on my YouTube channel. By that point the camera on my boats bow is 50 feet further forward so its missed it. Rest assured there are at least two more seasons for Prime still to come before they catch up with where I am on YouTube :-), I grew up along side the Birminham & Worcester near Hopwood; the brightly paintled narrowboats always caught my attention & instilled a calming sense of freedom when they chugged by.

Disappointed that youre backing off with the videos, but I quite understand. I have to say, they were the sunshine of my day, the sugar in my tea and such a welcome break, here in Seattle. This is part 1 of 3 of that week-long cruise. Certainly your out of that so-called Honeymoon period.. and to take a break from any aspects of our daily lives, especially when it is all starting to feel like forced attrition, i think noone could, would or should begrudge you David.. Best of luck to you regardless of how you spend this coming year. After a windstorm dropped a large branch near the house, I bought a cheap pair of chisels and decided to make a stool. David sighted that he had fallen out of love with cruising his narrowboat and was moving onto land to secure a land-based home for his future retirement (or this is the impression I got from watching his announcement anyway!!).

Hello David. David and Chris They gave me the most wonderful sense of calm watching the scenery, hearing the water lapping, and enjoying your commentary. I enjoy living on the boat but alas the joy of cruising is gone so I shall likely not cover any ground again. My wife and I are presently in season two, but like those addicted to playing video games we just cant get enough of exploring the canals with you. Oh, how galling for you yet of course its entirely appropriate to have to do it. Many people were shocked and some hardcore fans were dissapointed at David for abandoning the narrowboating community that they knew and loved. My wife and I really enjoyed your show on Amazon Prime and hope to see another season. Petrol gennys are much cheaper, a couple of hundred quid, but you have all the issues of storing petrol safely on board (it being extremely flammable of course) and of accessing it since most wharfs and marinas dont sell it so you have to trek along a road to the nearest garage with a canister in hand.

Can you fish in the canals and do you eat them?You can fish if you have the appropriate licences local angling groups tend to have the rights to each stretch of canal so talk to them. I'm David Johns. This gets stirred up each time a boat goes by and then hangs in the water so it looks dirty.The CRT do dredge parts of the canals occasionally but its an expensive business so sadly there isnt enough dredging done. My other idea for you is to take over where Huel Howser (Californias Gold) left off and begin interviewing everybody associated with the canals including random lock volunteers and the maybe several owners of those majestic homes you fancy along the banks.
