Cruising The Cut is about the historic canals of Britain. I (David Johns) quit my job in 2015, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat. Initially videos of my travels, I now document various aspects of canal life.

415. This is not supposed to be a sailing boat!
Braunston Northamptonshire, Reino Unido
Here's part 2 of my jaunt to the countryside outside Braunston where I re-fixed my taff rail seats to the boat, spent a pleasant afternoon napping and reading, then headed back in a very strong breeze that caused me problems.

414. I nearly crashed into another narrowboat... and then I scared some geese.
I took my narrowboat into the countryside for a quiet night bobbing about on the waterways but on the way I rescued an adrift narrowboat, nearly crashed into another, then disturbed a huge flock of geese.

413. Slapping a bit of gelcoat onto my project boat's back end.
After months of painstaking procrastination, the time finally came to paint some gelcoat (and then flowcoat) onto my rebuilt transom on the project boat, Twiggy. However, it appears Twiggy has cellulite.

409. The glamour of London canal boating.

-
408. Much bad language as I add fibreglass to the transom. Again.
Honestly, it's nearly done, I swear, but Twiggy's bottom needed a final layer of fibreglass to bump it up a bit, as well as some chopped strand mat around the corners, then a load of filler to join up all the gaps.

407. Lithium batteries on boats: dangerous or not? At Electrika 2026
Brinklow Marina Warwickshire, Reino Unido
The third annual Electrika show was held again at Brinklow marina in mid-July but rather than film flashy boat tours, I thought I'd take the opportunity to challenge experts and exhibitors about how safe we are having lithium bat…

405. I moored my narrowboat in the middle of nowhere and it was utter bliss

396. A bilge pump, a tin of filler, and a flask of tea.
I had to pop back to my project boat Twiggy to fetch something for use at home, so while I was there I put some better filler in the cabin holes, as well as trying to install a new bilge pump. But that's about the extent of it...
