296. A day in the life of a professional canal-boat mover

REUPLOADED due to dull technical matter.

I spend a day with Connor Warner, a professional boat mover who takes customers' narrowboats, cruisers, Dutch barges ... you name it .... around the rivers and canals of Britain.

Lovely video today David 😊, Seems like Connor really does know how lucky he is to have such a great job. No desks, and plenty of beautiful sights and sounds. 😁

[Pooky-Cat]

A delightful video and bravo to that young man for spotting that business opportunity 👏

[jeffmorris]

That was great David. I think this way of what you are doing things these days was the best decision. Your content has been wonderful. Thanks.

One of those things you probably never think about-moving boats. Connor is a professional, and someone who I feel I'd trust with a boat (if I had one)

[sozofam]

Delightful video and what an enterprising chap Connor seems to be. Really enjoyed his stories. This was great, David! And you did Readly proud too!

If I was to ever go to England, I'd definitely have to go down a canal on a narrowboat. It seems you meet the most polite people the country has to offer. Probably hit as many pubs along the way as humanly possible. Lol

That’s the first product I’ve ever seen advertised on YouTube that I’ve gone and signed up for! Really impressed with it too! As always great video

[lancecluster]

You continue to come up with interesting and unique takes on the canals and canal boating. Nice video, thanks.

What a peaceful and interesting video. Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks David!

[soniavey]

I really enjoy your taking us along on your new trips and seeing inside the boats.

[Halfstep]

That was the most genuine ad read I think I’ve ever seen from a youtuber. Bravo 👏

[susanlong]

Ok, I’m sold. Planning a narrowboat vacation…from the US, a little challenging, but I’ll prevail!

Another lovely vlog! Narrowboat mover would be an enjoyable line of work. Glad to hear Connor has lots of jobs on the go, too. Fun to see you dipping your toe into the world of sponsored content.

nothing like David on a Narrow boat. Love it !

[richardingram]

Blimey, that’s literally at the end of my garden and Lyon’s is over the road. Would have been lovely to say hello. Oh well. Great video. Great idea by Connor.

[hughcarson]

Well done, reminds me when you had your own boat.

[maryjnorwood]

What a completely lovely trip! Just beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. 😎💕😎💕😎

[diogomp]

Just like with Coalfinger, it's always lovely to know more about the people making a living through narrowboating. Thank you David!

[martykitson]
