1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,200
We're back in Crick in 
Northamptonshire for the biggest

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,120
boat show in the boating 
calendar. 

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440
So we're more doubt on the 
towpath among dozens of boats 

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,200
that are here for people to 
either work at the show or 

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,880
volunteer at the show or even 
just visit the show. 

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,480
And to get from the towpath to 
the show site you have to go 

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:31,240
over this temporary bridge. 
Well, the bridge brings you out 

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760
in the corner of the Marina, and
this is where there are more 

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,920
than a dozen brand new boats on 
show and people have been 

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,840
queuing up to look round them. 
And then on the field behind the

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Marina is where the show village
is, and that's where there's a 

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,240
big boating marquee with stands 
from marinas and insurance 

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,080
companies and things like that. 
And then there's a food and 

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880
craft tent and there's a big 
beer tent. 

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,720
And that's where the live music 
happens in the evenings. 

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840
With Paul and Anthony from 
Narrowboat Life Unlocked, you 

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,680
might have watched on YouTube 
and you're actually showing your

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,760
boat this year. 
Yeah, we've got our brand new 

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200
boat from Elton Moss. 
It's a collaboration with Autumn

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Marine and it's called Dexter 
Star. 

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,720
We've named the boat after our 
last dog. 

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,560
So just tell me a bit about the 
boat. 

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,320
So it's a 58 foot series hybrid 
with a backup diesel generator. 

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,320
It's got 2.3 kilowatts of solar 
on the roof. 

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,440
We're actually currently beating
autamarines own customers with 

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,080
the solar production. 
I'm quite a geek. 

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,520
You should probably be gathered 
the interior fit out was done by

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,920
autumn Moss. 
The electrical interfaces were 

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,680
done by autamarine. 
We're and we've got an in gyro 

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,760
motor 15 kilowatts. 
We're really excited to be seen 

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,320
now how she handles on the 
water. 

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,360
Yeah, because electric boating 
is is quite a thing, isn't it? 

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Yeah, we think electric boating 
is definitely the future and 

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,480
you're going to get the 
traditionalist, and I can 

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,240
understand that. 
And actually we do miss the 

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
sound of an engine sometimes. 
But I was cruising the boat down

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
from North Killworth to Crick 
for the boat show last week and 

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
I could hear a cuckoo in the 
distance and birds that we've 

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,440
not heard for ages. 
It's just it's so quiet, so 

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120
relaxing, and you can chat to 
each other on the back of the 

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,800
boat without shouting. 
And we feel like we're trying to

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,320
do our bit for the environment 
as well. 

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Now, of course, the quick show 
is not quite all relaxing. 

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120
And what's it like having 
hundreds of people looking at 

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,160
your boat do? 
You know what, it's really nice.

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,200
It's like when you get a new 
house and you can't wait to show

47
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,680
it off to your friends and 
family. 

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,360
And we've met so many amazing 
viewers of the channel and 

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,760
people who've come from overseas
to the show to see us, to see 

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,160
the boat, meet other vloggers, 
and it's just such a nice 

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320
feeling, isn't it? 
Well, they feel like extended 

52
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880
friends, and that sounds a bit 
cliche, but they sort of feel 

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,160
like they know us. 
And then we're really humbled by

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160
the fact that they want to come 
and say hello once they are 

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
home. 
Yeah, it's quite a humbling 

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,320
experience. 
And you've been doing videos 

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,480
about the whole build, haven't 
you? 

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,760
So lots of these people will 
kind of know what the boat's 

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,440
like. 
Already. 

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Yeah. 
The only thing we didn't do, we 

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,040
show the interior, probably 
because it was still being done 

62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,400
right to the wire. 
But they've done, they have done

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,800
us proud. 
They did an amazing job at the 

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760
interior. 
I know we're biassed but it does

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,520
look amazing and the feedback 
we've been getting has been 

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,400
along the lines as well. 
And there's always a vote for 

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,480
the favourite boat and everyone 
says, oh, you know, we're not 

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000
interested in winning, are you 
interested in winning? 

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Do you know what, we came to 
this show without any 

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840
expectations at all, but 
everybody seems to love the boat

71
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720
and it would be fabulous to win,
not for us, but for the boat 

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,000
builder and for autamarine to 
give them a higher profile and, 

73
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,680
you know, just show that all the
boat builders at the show do an 

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560
incredible job. 
And at the moment I'd say, you 

75
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,800
know, the boat building 
industry, it needs that kick and

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040
to get people buying boats again
and enjoying the sounds like we 

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760
do. 
Yeah, because this is show is a 

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680
bit smaller than it's been in 
the past, isn't it? 

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,400
I mean, you've been coming quite
a few years, haven't? 

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:47,880
You. 
Yeah. 

81
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,440
So I was a little bit shocked by
how few boats there were here 

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,560
this year. 
However, it seems to be still 

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,800
the footfall. 
To be fair. 

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,880
I'm interested in winning. 
I'm going to be honest. 

85
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,760
It's who doesn't want to win 
like but again, like Paul said, 

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,240
because of all the hard work 
that not just the boat builders 

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,440
but also the suppliers that 
helped us on this journey. 

88
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,720
It would just be a nice nod to 
them to be honest and all the 

89
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:23,340
hard work they've put in. 
But down on the Marina, one of 

90
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:25,820
the boats here is showing off a 
new paint job. 

91
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:28,820
And Charlotte from Seaward Sign 
Writing, you're actually doing 

92
00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:30,900
some live sign writing as we 
speak. 

93
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,720
Yeah, we're trying. 
It's a bit on today, but we're 

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,000
going to try and get this side 
on the front of the boat and 

95
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,160
make it look pretty. 
So you've done one side already.

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,120
These are the bow flashes, and 
it's quite a complicated design.

97
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,120
So how do you do that? 
So I'm currently drawing it on 

98
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,240
and we've got an image that's 
already ready to go. 

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,840
Chalk on the back. 
I'll chalk it onto the boat 

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,440
roughly and then will it expand 
from there with the paint and 

101
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,240
add to it as I go? 
Really. 

102
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,320
And just tell me about what sort
of paint it is and do you need 

103
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,400
special brushes and things? 
Yeah. 

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,000
So it's a sign writing enamel 
that we use. 

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,640
And with the brushes I've got 
long haired chiselled brushes so

106
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
you can especially for the 
lettering, you've got a long 

107
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,920
straight brush which will give 
you a straight edge for the the 

108
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,640
letters and that sort of thing. 
So. 

109
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,760
So it's quite a time consuming 
process. 

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Is it or is it, I mean, maybe 
you just, you know, once you've 

111
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,720
got your outline there, you just
do it. 

112
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:29,160
Yeah, I mean, this shouldn't 
take me too long. 

113
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
So I'll get it drawn on now and 
then hopefully by the time the 

114
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,360
sun's disappeared, we'll it'll 
all be painted and give us, I 

115
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,080
don't know, maybe an hour or so 
and we should have it all on. 

116
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,120
So this design you're doing is 
all sort of cogs, because the 

117
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680
boat's called all the time in 
the world. 

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Do people like lots of 
complicated things? 

119
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
What's the most complicated 
thing you've you've had to paint

120
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,400
on the boat? 
Pirates is the one that's been 

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,600
very complicated to do, but 
everyone has their own ideas of 

122
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,960
what they want and it's entirely
up to the customers, to their 

123
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,360
design or but I will help them 
if they haven't got an idea. 

124
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,040
I will come up with some things 
and these guys obviously wanted 

125
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,520
the clock face and the name and 
all that sort of thing. 

126
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,200
And then we've expanded it with 
the Cogs and the steampunk sort 

127
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,800
of thing. 
It's entirely the customers 

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,480
choice as to what they want and 
how far we go with the design. 

129
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,880
And do you prefer a short name 
or a long name? 

130
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,280
Normally a short name but this 
one was took a while but it 

131
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,680
looks good in the end. 
Well, I've noticed that quite a 

132
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,960
lot of the boats on show at 
Crick this year have got the 

133
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,320
Water Freedom system fitted and 
I'm on the Water Freedom stand 

134
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
and Matthew is with me. 
So just tell me what the Water 

135
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Freedom system is. 
In essence, we we take water 

136
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,880
from canals, rivers, wells, 
boreholes, from rainwater 

137
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,920
harvesting, and we clean it to 
levels of purity that exceed 

138
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,160
regular tap water standards. 
So this means that if you're on 

139
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,440
a boat, you can take water from 
the canal and then it goes 

140
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,000
through what, a whole number of 
philtres and then comes out your

141
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,560
tap. 
Absolutely, yes. 

142
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,560
The main systems that we fit go 
through a seven stage filtration

143
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,920
process where it philtres the 
water initially and then 

144
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,880
ultraviolet light treatment to 
kill all the bacteria, viruses 

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120
and cysts. 
That water then gets chlorine 

146
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,760
dosed so that when it goes into 
your water tank it remains fresh

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920
and doesn't go stagnant in your 
water tank. 

148
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040
Bring the chlorine levels up to 
a similar standard as regular 

149
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720
tap water. 
That water at that particular 

150
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,480
time is for 90% of the water 
that you use on board. 

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,640
It's for washing your dishes, 
showers, washing up. 

152
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,240
You can even have a washing 
machine on board and actually 

153
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,720
use it or fit a bathtub and have
regular baths. 

154
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,960
It gives you an unlimited supply
of water at the touch of a 

155
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,000
button. 
From there we tee into the 

156
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,440
regular pipe work underneath 
your sink and we fit what we 

157
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,720
call the Water Freedom Pure that
produces that uses reverse 

158
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,800
osmosis to produce water of a 
quality that far exceeds mains 

159
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040
tap water. 
It gets. 

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760
We get it so clean, in fact, 
that we have to put stuff back 

161
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,400
in before you can drink it. 
And I suppose that means that 

162
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840
you would never really need to 
go to a water point again. 

163
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,800
You don't, No, no. 
Yeah, Some of our customers say 

164
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120
that when the Thames is on red 
boards, for instance, and they 

165
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,480
can't move their boats, they're 
the only ones. 

166
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,080
With with. 
Tap with drinking water When 

167
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,720
people get frozen in in the 
winter, our customers are the 

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,480
only ones with water because 
even on, even when they're on 

169
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760
moorings, often the water stand 
pipes freeze, whereas our 

170
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,720
customers just have to break a 
hole in the ice and they can 

171
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,560
throw their hoses in. 
So I think you've actually got 

172
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,800
one of your systems here on the 
stand, haven't you? 

173
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,120
That's correct. 
Yeah. 

174
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,680
So quick this year, we've got 2 
stands, one's a showroom up in 

175
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:57,800
the regular shopping village. 
And down on the quayside we've 

176
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,360
got what we call a hydration 
station, where we've got a fully

177
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,040
functioning system, where we're 
taking water out of the Marina 

178
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,520
here, filtering it. 
And we're serving water purified

179
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,680
water, both chilled and 
sparkling to the public where 10

180
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:20,520
minutes ago it was canal water. 
In order to do this, we had to 

181
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,920
apply for a catering licence and
part as of last week I was here 

182
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,160
it quick with a fully functional
system in order to do water 

183
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,640
samples as part of that catering
licence. 

184
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,040
And we took those samples over 
to ALS Laboratories in Coventry 

185
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,480
where they did 111 different 
water tests on them and we 

186
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,440
zeroed almost every single one. 
Fantastic. 

187
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,960
Well, maybe we should have a 
taste then, do you think? 

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,160
Yeah, by all means. 
Would you like ambient still or 

189
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120
sparkling? 
Still I think please there. 

190
00:09:53,280 --> 00:10:04,680
You. 
Go have a taste of that. 

191
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,560
Tell me what you. 
Think. 

192
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,720
I mean, it certainly looks like 
drinking water. 

193
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Let's see what it tastes like. 
I mean, it just tastes like 

194
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,880
water, and what it doesn't taste
like is canal water. 

195
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,120
Quite right? 
When I'm in the middle of the 

196
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,520
historic boats here at the quick
show and I'm sitting on the tug 

197
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,440
deck of a lovely little tug 
called Sandbach and Rupert, the 

198
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,960
owner is with me. 
But Rupert, last year I spoke to

199
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,240
your wife in her capacity as 
something to do with the IWA and

200
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,880
in passing we mentioned your 
boat and it was in a different 

201
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,200
colour scheme last year and she 
wasn't really allowed to say 

202
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,880
anything about it. 
But Sandbach has been a film *. 

203
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Yes, it was used for the filming
of the Netflix film The Immortal

204
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,760
Man, but they they didn't like 
it red and shiny and things. 

205
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,240
They painted it black and grey 
with WGE on it and a misspelt 

206
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,800
canal whirling and Essington. 
So that's the Peaky Blinders 

207
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,440
film, and I gather you were 
quite involved in the actual 

208
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,800
filming. 
Well, we were contracted to 

209
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,080
supply the boat and me as a it 
was interesting and exciting. 

210
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,600
It was also very boring when 
you're sitting around waiting 

211
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,840
for nothing to do and very 
frustrating because they keep 

212
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,840
changing their minds as to what 
they want. 

213
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,320
And it's extremely stressful. 
Especially when you're inside 

214
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:44,200
the boat, nominally in control 
of the engine, with some actor 

215
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,440
on the back holding the tiller, 
and you know that you are 

216
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,920
heading towards the bank and 
you're listening to the 

217
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,640
walkie-talkie for them to say 
cut so that you know that you 

218
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,600
can put it hard in the reverse. 
And lots of the filming took 

219
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,560
place at night, didn't it? 
Most of it did, yes. 

220
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,680
At Gas St Basin where they did 1
scene that started at about 6:00

221
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,960
and went on to about two in the 
morning. 

222
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,880
Lots of runs and fire and all 
sorts of things happening. 

223
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,160
But the interesting thing is 
they'd call that a filming day 

224
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,760
and the catering starts with 
breakfast, but if they're 

225
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,480
starting at 6:00 in the evening,
that's when the breakfast is 

226
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,520
served. 
But it is a very good breakfast.

227
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,560
I mean, films are notorious for 
their catering, aren't they? 

228
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Absolutely, yeah. 
And what about different 

229
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,480
locations? 
Because there were a number of 

230
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,320
locations all over the country I
think. 

231
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,760
And and this boat must have been
on and off the back of a lorry 

232
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,600
like nobody's business. 
Yeah, there was 6, I think 

233
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,920
different locations. 
First one was Ellesmere Port at 

234
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,840
the museum. 
Then we went back-to-back to the

235
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Black Country, Wimmerland and 
the Black Country Museum that 

236
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,560
was another location, and then 
Gas St Basin and then up to 

237
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:04,000
Google Docs for the the scene 
which involves the explosion. 

238
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,080
Yeah, so Sandbach actually gets 
blown up. 

239
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,320
Well, a boat that looked a bit 
like Sandbach. 

240
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,600
And the Ponty Aqueduct as well. 
That was an extra scene that was

241
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,720
slotted in at the last minute 
and right up to the wire we were

242
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,440
filming at Wimmerland. 
They, they hadn't decided they'd

243
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840
they'd sort of costed it and 
looked at the logistics, but 

244
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,280
they didn't actually make the 
decision till that afternoon, 

245
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,320
the last day of filming. 
And it was just that that in 

246
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,920
itself is quite stressful 
because it was about the time 

247
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,000
that the Wallace and Gromit film
came out, which involves a scene

248
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,120
on of what looks like a very 
famous acroduct in Buster scene.

249
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,920
And we think that the Netflix 
people looked at this train and 

250
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
I thought that looks quite good.
I'm sure we could do something 

251
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:01,920
like. 
That so I'm in the, I think it's

252
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,040
actually the food and craft 
tent, but I'm on the stand for 

253
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Forces Veterans Afloat and I'm 
with Lizzie who's the chair of 

254
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,840
the trustee. 
So just tell me a bit about the 

255
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120
charity and what it does. 
Well, we're a very young 

256
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,000
charity, We're only 18 months 
old. 

257
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,440
We came about when a group of us
thought it would be a good idea 

258
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040
to get an abandoned boat, do it 
up and give it to a homeless 

259
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
person and then someone said why
don't you give it to a homeless 

260
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720
veteran? 
At which point my ears pricked 

261
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,000
up. 
I thought that's a good idea, I 

262
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,360
want a piece of that. 
We were very naive in those 

263
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,920
days, didn't really know what we
were doing and we found out 

264
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,080
really that what we needed to do
was become a charity. 

265
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,200
It took us almost a year to 
become a charity. 

266
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,960
We've been a charity for 18 
months now and we have 9 boats, 

267
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,800
6 deployed with veterans on 
them. 

268
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,440
They're all given to us and most
of them are restored by us as 

269
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,760
well. 
So that's really what we do in a

270
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,440
nutshell. 
So it's quite a big job to 

271
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,080
restore a boat, isn't it? 
So there must be a lot of 

272
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,840
volunteers involved all. 
Of our work is done by 

273
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640
volunteers, we have no paid 
staff, none of the trustees are 

274
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,080
paid and pretty much everything 
that is done from getting the 

275
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880
rusting paint work off to 
ripping out the the rotten 

276
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400
boards inside is all done by 
volunteers. 

277
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,080
We're very fortunate we've got a
couple of boat yards, one of 

278
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,880
which it's owned by a veteran 
who do our welding for us. 

279
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,760
That's the one thing we can't 
do. 

280
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,600
But we also have an organisation
that's donates the steel so that

281
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600
doesn't cost us quite so much. 
And we're quite good at getting 

282
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,840
people to give us bits and 
pieces to do the boats up 

283
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080
because it's not cheap doing 
these things up, but it's worth 

284
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,880
it in the end. 
And what difference does it make

285
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,360
to the veterans that you give a 
boat to? 

286
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680
I think the best example is the 
veteran who is our actually our 

287
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,840
very first beneficiary and he's 
been 18 months on his boat. 

288
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,160
When he first went onto the 
boats, he has CPTSD and he will 

289
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,160
tell you he wouldn't engage with
people, he wouldn't look you in 

290
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
the eye, he wouldn't have a 
conversation, he would have 

291
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,520
panic attacks and he had an 
appalling stutter. 

292
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,560
He went on the boats. 
It'll be two years ago in 

293
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,480
November. 
Last August he did a month long 

294
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,920
residency at Edinburgh Fringe as
a stand up comedian and for 

295
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400
someone who could barely speak, 
that's incredible. 

296
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,440
He puts it down to the boat 
because he says it gives him two

297
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560
things. 
It gives him the freedom to live

298
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440
where he wants to live. 
If he's not happy somewhere, he 

299
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,080
just pulls up his bins and he 
goes a couple of miles down the 

300
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,360
cut to where he feels a bit more
comfortable. 

301
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,800
He's got the boating community 
around him as well, and he 

302
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,400
misses the community he had in 
the Navy. 

303
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,200
So that's brilliant. 
And also it gives him 

304
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,920
discipline. 
Every 14 days he has to move. 

305
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,920
So he's got to look, where am I 
going to move to? 

306
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,480
Have I had a pump out? 
Have I got enough diesel? 

307
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Have I filled the water? 
Where am I going to get my 

308
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,640
shopping from? 
And those two things, The 

309
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,960
combination of the freedom and 
the discipline and the 

310
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,440
camaraderie that he's got with 
the boating community, he says, 

311
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240
is what's turned him round. 
And that's really why we do it. 

312
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,240
I mean, it's a living embodiment
of the phrase. 

313
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Making life better by water 
isn't. 

314
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,400
It exactly that, that is exactly
where where we're going with it.

315
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,040
We're very lucky Canal and River
Trust are fully behind us and 

316
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,000
are are helping us. 
We're working towards having our

317
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320
own Wharf in Ilkeston. 
We should have that by the end 

318
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,560
of the year. 
The moment we're beholden on 

319
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,680
some lovely yard. 
Swallow Cruises at Ladworth and 

320
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,040
Paul Barber at sheet stores in 
Long Eaton who repair boats for 

321
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000
us, don't charge us very much 
for it, but when we've got our 

322
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,960
own Wharf it'll be, it'll be an 
awful lot easier. 

323
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,839
So yeah, CRT being behind us has
been a great help and the 

324
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,839
Environment Agency coming on 
board as well. 

325
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,760
We have a boat going onto their 
water and they've given us their

326
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,640
charity rate so it's not costing
us quite so much to licence it, 

327
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,720
which is good because we pay all
that sort of thing. 

328
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,720
The veterans, if they're in a 
Marina, only pay the morning 

329
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,680
fees and what they would spend 
on gas and electricity. 

330
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,480
We pay everything else. 
We maintain the boats, we insure

331
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,200
the boats, we get their boats 
safety certificates so it's a 

332
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,240
much cheaper way of of them 
living. 

333
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,480
It's quite costly for us and at 
the moment we're solely reliant 

334
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720
on public donations and 
volunteers and just seeing the 

335
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,560
effect on the veterans lives, 
that's the biggest reward you 

336
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:02,820
could possibly have. 
Well, I'm in the Canal River 

337
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:06,940
Trust, Marquis and Mac, our 
little border terrier, has just 

338
00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:09,580
had his photo taken for the 
photo competition. 

339
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:12,520
So, and with Dick and Emily, 
tell me what the photo 

340
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,600
competition's all about. 
Raising awareness of what we do 

341
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,720
at the Canal and River Trust and
getting the dogs their celebrity

342
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640
status. 
And how does this help raise the

343
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,280
profile then? 
It's just another way to kind of

344
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,440
meet our customers, talk to our 
customers. 

345
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,880
You know, of all the uses that 
we have for our 2000 miles of 

346
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,240
towpaths, actually dog walking 
is the #2 use #1 being just 

347
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,360
going for a walk. 
And it just, that is the reason.

348
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:41,640
But I think the main reason is 
because we've been coming here 

349
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,240
for, well, forever for the quick
show and we've always just had 

350
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,680
loads of lovely dogs come in and
it's just been a really nice 

351
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,160
thing for us. 
So we thought, let's celebrate 

352
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,920
them. 
And here they are, glorious. 

353
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,440
So tell me about some of the 
dogs you've had over the past 

354
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,480
few days. 
Well, we've had about over 100 

355
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,920
entries so far. 
They've all been fantastic. 

356
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,920
We've had little bitty teeny 
dogs that you would fit in, you 

357
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,760
know, in almost in your hand. 
And then we had some really big,

358
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,200
I don't know, all the breeds. 
We had some massive dogs come 

359
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,640
in. 
Everybody's been nice, friendly.

360
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,520
We've had no dog fights. 
No dog. 

361
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,760
And we have had kind of the 
winner yesterday, although we 

362
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,240
had to have a create a separate 
category was well, a cat, yeah. 

363
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,560
A cat A cat. 
A cat named Miss Evie won Well, 

364
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,880
she was the most voted for her. 
She. 

365
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,160
Was the most voted for, but 
because she was a cat, we had to

366
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,560
have a cat of the day. 
So Tilly, who was a Rottweiler, 

367
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,280
was the actual winner of dog of 
the day. 

368
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,960
And we did also have a lamb 
enter, although the lamb wasn't 

369
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,160
really here. 
So it was an AIAI sort of 

370
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,360
picture of a lamb. 
So we had a lamb of the day as 

371
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,000
well. 
So it's maybe next year it'll be

372
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,640
pets of Crick, who knows? 
Well, I can. 

373
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,240
That's a good. 
Idea. 

374
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:52,520
Oh yeah. 
I can imagine that a cat could 

375
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,320
live on a boat. 
In fact, I did an episode of the

376
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,240
podcast a little while back 
about pets on board and we had 

377
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,000
dogs, cats and a tortoise. 
But a lamb? 

378
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,520
I don't think that would live on
a boat, would it? 

379
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,880
I don't know. 
I don't know. 

380
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280
I know, I know lots of people 
have got chickens on boats. 

381
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,160
That's quite. 
Yeah, yeah. 

382
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Little runs on top of the thing 
of plenty of rabbits I'm aware 

383
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,480
of, so I don't see why not. 
Although I I kind of, I like to 

384
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840
think of a lamb as having a bit 
more kind of freedom and space, 

385
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,760
so who knows? 
And just escaping onto the 

386
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,680
towpath. 
Yes, exactly. 

387
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,320
But again, there's no there's no
intrinsic problem with that. 

388
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,200
As long as it's a nice friendly 
lamb and it follows the towpath 

389
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:35,760
code, I'll be happy. 
So there's an old joke that if 

390
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,000
you get 2 or more boaters 
together they always end up 

391
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,760
talking about toilets. 
So I've come to the compost 

392
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,160
toilet stand and Nigel and 
Lorraine are with me. 

393
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,640
So just tell me about your type 
of toilet. 

394
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,520
We have a compost toilet, we 
have got it on the boat and 

395
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,160
we've got one in the motorhome 
as well and it's just the way to

396
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,960
go. 
So how does it work then? 

397
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,640
We use coconut coya, it's the 
byproduct of the coconut. 

398
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600
They're conveniently pressed 
into blocks and they make a nine

399
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,920
litre block and we add 1 1/2 
litres of water to that block 

400
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,920
which will make that 9 litres of
compost. 

401
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,640
And you can store the box ever 
so easily in any in any sort of 

402
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,200
cupboard. 
And at that 9 litres, we only 

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,000
put two litres into the toilet 
and that two litres is good for 

404
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:27,080
seven to 10 days for a couple. 
And yeah, it's just all nice and

405
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,200
green. 
So they're basically a 

406
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,960
separating toilet then, aren't 
they? 

407
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,840
That's the. 
That's the basic principle. 

408
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560
It is, yes. 
So you've got your solids and 

409
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,840
your liquids, and they go into a
bucket and into a bottle. 

410
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Then it separates and then you 
get no smell at all. 

411
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,320
And then what do you do with the
compost once you've taken it out

412
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,960
the. 
Toilet. 

413
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,640
Well, we're lucky, we're on a 70
foot linear mooring with a 

414
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:54,080
garden, so we've got a compost 
bin there and we're able to put 

415
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,880
all of our toilet waste into the
composting bin. 

416
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,600
And if you're a liverboard 
boater, what would you do with 

417
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,360
it then? 
If you're a liver board, then 

418
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,840
obviously you're a little bit 
stumped with the CIT regulations

419
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,560
of not putting it in the bins 
down the canal network. 

420
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,960
But we do have customers that 
are still able to sort of get to

421
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,280
somebody's house that has got 
another bin or somebody that has

422
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,840
got composting facilities and 
we've. 

423
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,080
Got a lot of voters who give it 
to family and friends but on 

424
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,160
their garden and they're quite 
happy to take it from them. 

425
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,800
And it makes good compost. 
Is it? 

426
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,680
Very good. 
Yes, Yeah. 

427
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,560
We had one guy who put it into 
some plant pots, put a a plant 

428
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,080
seed in it, started to grow the 
plant and once the the plant had

429
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,360
established put them out on the 
the towpath and just said free 

430
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,640
to free. 
Everybody walked up with the 

431
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,080
plant. 
Basically just walked away with 

432
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,720
these plants, obviously really 
happy and didn't realise that 

433
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:56,440
the compost was was human made. 
And. 

434
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,400
The winner? 
Crit boat show favourite boating

435
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,040
show 20. 26 Dexter *. 
From Elton Moscow. 

436
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,880
Well, it's on with arty at roof 
with Elton Moss and you've 

437
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,320
you've just been given the 
trophy. 

438
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Here we go. 
Yes, it's a. 

439
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,480
It's a very. 
Welcome win. 

440
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,680
What do you think has 
contributed to that win? 

441
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,320
It is teamwork. 
All round, Paul and. 

442
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Anthony were very clear in 
terms. 

443
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Of what they wanted. 
We were very clear what we had 

444
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,800
to deliver. 
And we worked in. 

445
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,040
Partnership with Autumn Marine 
so that the propulsion system 

446
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,120
was. 
Fit for purpose, which 

447
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,360
unfortunately the previous. 
Narrowboat wasn't originally. 

448
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,920
And having a sort of 
collaboration like that is quite

449
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,880
unusual, isn't it? 
I believe so, yes. 

450
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,160
I think normally builders choose
choose parts from wherever in in

451
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,920
conjunction with their 
customers, but I think I think 

452
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,360
the the collaboration. 
Between us has sort of. 

453
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,760
Worked very well in in far as 
we've got we've produced them a 

454
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,680
boat that is fit. 
For purpose and. 

455
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,080
A very, yeah, very nice boat. 
And not just fit for purpose, 

456
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,920
but a winner. 
Yes, exactly. 

457
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Yes, yeah. 
The other half of the 

458
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,160
collaboration is Rob and 
Caroline from Automarine. 

459
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,080
So how does it feel to be 
winners then? 

460
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
It's wonderful. 
It's been a journey. 

461
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,640
A challenge at times with 
timings, obviously Crick is 

462
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,800
always a severe deadline that. 
People have to try and meet. 

463
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,120
It's also nice to see an 
electric boat winning and the 

464
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,120
amount of solar that we've 
generated here. 

465
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:34,080
So, so it was quite a fast 
cruise here. 

466
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,320
So the motor got a testing, the 
batteries got a testing. 

467
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,960
They were down at 28% when we 
arrived. 

468
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,360
We got 12 kilowatt hours the 
first day for 15 kilowatt hours 

469
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:47,760
the second day and the batteries
were full. 

470
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,320
I mean, it's been a real good 
test of all the tech on board 

471
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,400
and we are really happy. 
And for Paul and Anthony, 

472
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,840
they've never been happy with 
their solar setup on their 

473
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,640
current boat. 
So for them to see those sorts 

474
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,960
of figures being possible, it's 
excellent for them. 

475
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,000
I think they're quite geeky 
about it as well. 

476
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,440
Yeah, they will be. 
Well, they were top of our solar

477
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,120
data Table, 3 days, two days in 
a row and they were like. 

478
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,200
As you say, it's so short in the
arm for electric boating isn't. 

479
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,040
It exactly that's I mean, you 
know, we just want to promote it

480
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,680
because it it has to be the 
future. 

481
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,320
It's the idea. 
There's been hype for for 

482
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,480
several years about it and 
there's been naysayers, but it's

483
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,520
hopefully we're we're able. 
To prove. 

484
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,480
That it is viable, it is 
achievable and people can now 

485
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,000
actually continuously cruise all
year. 

486
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,440
Round on an electricity. 
Driven narrow boat. 

487
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,600
Congratulations to Elta, Moss, 
Otomarine and Paul and Anthony, 

488
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,840
and that's all from the CRIC 
Boat Show 2026, except to say 

489
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,560
that Mack, our border terrier, 
was also a winner. 

490
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,080
He was voted Dog of the Day on 
Bank Holiday Monday and won a 

491
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,200
nice goodie bag. 
And I also recorded an interview

492
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,960
with the new chief executive of 
the Canal and River Trust, 

493
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Campbell Rob, which will be an 
extra episode next time I'm 

494
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,200
trying to do. 
It's quite an atmosphere. 

495
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Where we can all. 
Understand the long. 

496
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Term future of the. 
Canal network. 

497
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,280
That we all. 
Have a. 

498
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,240
Place to play? 
In it. 

499
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,000
But they all, we all have to. 
Contribute to. 

500
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,240
That and if we all work. 
Together, I think we can reach a

501
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,440
point. 
Where we can increase the 

502
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,120
investment in the network for 
boaters and for many other 

503
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,600
people as well. 
The Water Rd is produced and 

504
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,320
presented by me. 
Adam Porter. 

505
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080

please give us a nice review or 

506
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,720
star rating to help other people
find us. 

507
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,920
And don't forget that all 
previous episodes are always
