357. I just bought a tiny narrowboat!

Viewers may recall my fondness for tiny narrowboats (see video links below) so it should come as no surprise that with my cabin cruiser out of the water for refurbishment, I may have strayed into a boat brokerage and 'accidentally' bought another narrowboat...

My world just got a little bit brighter because David has a Narrowboat again. Thank you, David ... thank you. : )

[MrCSutton]

Handy hint: Don't cut the back off....

Congratulations!

Are you going to park this one next to Twiggy as "The Otter One"?

[FlintF]

Haha, the reaction of your loyal fans to this news is just wholesome and heartwarming.

David has a narrowboat and balance has been restored in the universe! I couldn’t be more pleased for you and for this channel. Happy sailing!

[davidpyle]

“Look what followed me home” or “it must have fallen into my shopping trolley” is usually my story ! CONGRATULATIONS, can’t wait for many more canal adventures !

[lapsedluddite]

Brilliant!

It's positively absurd for me to be so absolutely over the moon about a complete stranger, on a different continent, having bought a (delightfully charming, practical, easily maintained, and economical to run) boat, but there you go...

Looking forward to seeing David back in his natural habitat - the herons and swans will be eagerly awaiting his return.

Oh yes please, more Cruising the Cut vlogs. You always said you’d love a Sea Otter….cant wait for more adventures David. You’ve made my day.

[elizabethfarmer]

Oh thank you Lord! We are cruising again! I’m so happy! You made a Kentuckian very happy!

[teresapittman]

Life is you tube world is in balance again now that David has a narrow boat.

[Ikwigsjoyful]

This one really is an adorable little boat, and (having been a tiny bit heartbroken when you sold your old narrowboat) I have to admit I'm quite happy you "accidentally" bought another narrowboat!

[LittleCamperNZ]

When you said you'd buy it my wife and I erupted into applause 😊😅

[KPW--poiq]

You're not fooling anybody, we knew you were going to buy it. What a great find, you found exactly what you were looking for all along. Looking forward to seeing more adventures with your NEW boat.

Randy from California says, "One of the saddest days of my life was finding out you were selling your narrowboat. The canals haven't been the same since. So glad to see you back with a narrowboat!

[Vegathlete]

From PA, USA - for the witty nitty-gritty, spirit, and quiet

[lynetteswinburn]

Cannot say strongly enough how pleased I am that you're going back on the canals. Admittedly because I am selfish in that i love watching your adventures.

[scottycheesecake]

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

[andyhamilton]

Why did I let out a little audible cheer at the end? This makes me happy.

[MaggiePrather]

Am I dreaming? Did I hear you say you were buying a tiny narrow boat? I knew it!!! Hope the transaction goes through and all that lot. And yes, if I heard you say it once, I heard you say it at least a few hundred times -- you love tiny narrow boats! Best of luck to you and the new addition to your life.

This is my first comment in all of my YT history - thank you very much for brightening my day and I am looking forward to your adventures! Thank you...
