Today's episode was supposed to be about how we moved our narrowboat
From where we bought it on the Grand Union Canal to our home marina.
On the first day everything went very well... it was lovely
It was three hours of cruising and we arrived at a beautiful spot about an hours walk outside of Braunston
On the second day
we were all set to caste off
And we suffered a small set back
in the form of a small electrical fire in our engine bay!!
Luckily we had joined the CRC.
so we called them out and they came within the hour
Unfortunately the diagnosis wasn't good. It got referred to some great guys as Hayford Fields marina.
They made this temporary ignition switch
you put the key in here and it goes down here
DOn't judge the condition of the engine room
we have just bought the boat!!!
At this part of the video it becomes more clear that I don't have a lot of engine experience
I thought we could get the boat to the marina where we could do a course.
I know how to turn it on and off. Unfortunately it did not turn off and that is what has burnt out most of the electrics.
For the five days we were beside the canal
We let the cats out.
Munchkin and Alice were able to see their first swan
And then make plan on how to 'befriend' that swan.
I didn't have much faith in their abilities.
Because they are very lazy cats!
Gary from Canal contractors took us on our first ride
We had to travel for two days to get it to the marina to be fixed.
We left narrowboat Ewart in their very capable hands.
'See you later'
'Thank you soon much!!
(bird sounds)
Walkie talkie sound "all clear"
"received"
"fully clear you can go right"
Hopefully next time we can show you the full journey on the narrowboat
to our home marina.
