so
this is our second time attending henley royal regatta the first time we went was last year
we had so much fun we just had to come back as always the best thing about it is being able to
invite our friends and family and share the fun today is the first day of hanley regatta tuesday
and we are off we're cruising to see the races to see the racecourse to see henley
and the atmosphere it's very windy outside so i'm hiding inside to talk to you guys for a sec
it is really nice to be back we've got guests we've got julie and eric miles says mom and dad
julie have never been to hannah regatta and eric did come last year he joined us last year
our friends and toady are having a picnic on the road
we left zenda our dinghy with them and when to check out the race course
henley royal regatta is a famous sporting event that is in its 185th year the regatta received
its royal prefix a very very long time ago in 1851 when prince albert became its patron
so
we feel very lucky to be witnessing the event from our narrowboat
we get the best seats in town for free we watch the start and finish of the races
up close and get to enjoy all of that from the comfort of our home
you
over five days of the regatta there are 200 races
of international standard from crews new to the event to olympians
races start every five or so minutes so in the time we do a lap we get to see quite a few
the weather this today looks like the best
oh
swan support charity manages this event they carefully evacuate swans just before the regatta
and bring them back after this time we saw them keeping a flock of geese away from the madness
i left seeing visitors of the regatta being delivered in field taxes pulled by a tractor
yes so i've just been accused of using my bow thruster it's like this chat brought
down here and it's like oh it's all right for you you've got a bow thruster
that was amazing that parking was was amazing of course it is he's insane he
was shocked she was like honestly that was that was really good that was that was pretty good
um so that was nice although i did get accused of using about thruster but
we're no cheats where are we where are we we're in hana hello hello
hi this was one just so cute i'll give you oats but you don't recognize it i know i've tried
you're the cutest do a little dance in the water
you shoot them away
i'm so excited
you guys already know that we love jockery and in the last few episodes we told you how we use
them and why we love them a solo generator is a combination of solar panels and a power station
so it converts sun energy captured by solar panels into electricity and then stores it in a portable
power station to be used when we need it jackery allows us to use electricity at any time of the
day making boat life feel like if we live a land jacaroo provides a vital energy when we need it
the most in the mornings we get solar saga 100 panels on the roof to prepare for the working day
ahead capture solar and store it in the jackery power station so we can enjoy that free power when
we need it it's a reliable power source for us and i can see how it can be a great backup power
solution in times of storms for those connected to the grid today i want to walk you through the
difference between three models explorer 240 500 and 1000 and how we use them the best thing about
explorer 240 is its size it's tiny weightless and super mobile it's like having a mobile plug
with you the inverter is the smallest out of the three but surprisingly powerful it powers phones
projector laptops hand blender washing machine hoover sewing machine and even the heated blanket
it can be charged from solar panels but also from 12v sockets and normal 240 for example when
we're on a move jackery 500 explorer is a good all-rounder it does everything that 241 do but
has double the capacity and double the inverter power we took it to a festival for four days
camping in order to use our phones hand blender and a heated blanket and had so much surplus power
that we decided to invest into an electrical box for the next camping trip now let's move on to
explorer 1000 we got it just before christmas last year and spent the whole winter using just
that one it covered all our needs for two people and it can also power a hairdryer and a steamer
1000 has two 240 volt sockets it can be charged in all the same ways but it can use two solar saga
100 panels to charge it as it comes with a handy splitter for two people living on board and
working 1000 is the best friend at the moment jacory doing a giveaway you can find all the
information about it on jaco.uk youtube channel and other social channels all the links are below
our friends claire and jody who used to live on a narrowboat in reading
join us the next day to experience henley regatta from the water
this being at henley at the time of regatta is like being on holiday the atmosphere is energizing
and everyone seems to be having a wonderful time people make a lot of effort dressing up
the fashion is very festive with awesome hats stripy blazes and a lot of pink everywhere
oh it's cool in there
oh
that was so good
yesterday as well
texas
on one of my daily walks along the river i had a pleasure to meet sophie and dylan two
most gorgeous out of this world fluffy cats living on an equally gorgeous dutch barge
one of them came out and greeted me i was instantly in love meow
this year we are only at the regatta during the week because we have plans for the weekend so
before departing we did the last lab and caught another highlight it wasn't very busy on the
river so we lingered by the start line for a few minutes and saw the beginning of a race
