On May 29th this year, I was lucky enough to be invited to join Alan, Tina and Richard of NB Wobbly, to travel in convoy across The Wash with Jo, Michael and Lorna on NB Perseverance. This is quite an adventurous crossing for a narrowboat as they're designed only for the flat calm waters of the canals or small rivers - and The Wash is pretty much open sea.
See the others' versions of the day here:

In 1988, I crewed a narrowboat from the Netherlands to Teddington lock. A totally hair-raising journey which took a week. We actually crossed the North Sea at night! Crossed shipping lanes dodging supertankers, container ships and ferries. It's a tale most would not believe, but it's completely true.

The first (and hopefully only) time I had to bleed a marine diesel was on a small sailboat near Port Townsend. There was no wind, so I had to drop anchor and row the tender into town to purchase fuel. After which it took me the better part of four hours and multiple phone calls to the local marine shop before I was able to get the engine bled correctly and able to start up again. Which is a rather lengthy way of saying I'm extremely impressed by the Wobbly Boat captain managing to get the entire operation done that quickly. Kudos!

As an ex commercial fisherman on the west coast of Canada I certainly know that the excitement of transiting through boiling narrow passages that plow you sideways without warning and the near frantic wheel cranking in order to get back on track. A bump on the bank like that is nothing to be embarrassed about given the maneuverability of a narrow boat. Great video as always.

It's a shame more of our Canals weren't maintained.

Sadly it's locks have all been turned to dams and two large portions of it paved over for highways. I've biked the old mule path along side it a few times but it'd be something to be able to experience it on a boat like this.

Narrow boats can be made semi-seaworthy mainly by rigging the bow to shed water in the event that a wave breaks over it, then stow gear securely and low in the boat to improve stability, and a bit towards the rear to keep the bow up pretty high; and you should be good. Rigging the bow to shed waves is the main thing. I noticed that his front door appears to be largely glass. A big wave can break glass, which is why they board up windows before hurricanes. A bit of plywood to protect that glass would increase his safety margin.

Love the shots of the beach and the choice of Bach prelude. It was a bizarre thing to have to do, and as you said ‘special’. Lovely. Thanks

What a trip. I would have been frightened silly but you all coped so well. Very good description. Love the steady thud of a narrow boat engine. Thank you!

If your new approach to vlogging produces this level of storytelling, then take as much time as you need to produce them. Really spectacular! Makes me want to go reread Melville and Conrad and Patrick O'Brian. The drone segment was especially lovely -- and shocking to see a narrowboat hauled up on a remote beach. Maybe it was time for you to get out of Hobbiton and have some adventures.

I had seen the planning video that Jo and Michael did on their you Tube Channel and I knew that you were going to be with Tina and Richard of Wobbly Boater. I really enjoyed watching the crossing of the Wash from Boston to Denver. Thank you very much for making this video. Your video expertise was great as usual.
