I really loved Lincoln and I was keen to explore on up the Trent. I had to grit my teeth and motor all the way but the Trent above Newark turned out to be a wonderful place to sail and I was at last able to raise the rig and drink in the tranquility.
I had a perfect evening at anchor in the middle of the river and then the next morning started the long drift back to Winteringham.

Very nice… I so enjoy the way you bring the history into the present for us.
Until the last bit where the speed-up and boat sailing backwards was overdone for my taste.

Seen that one in wells many times
This video is perhaps our favourite. Very peaceful and the history of the canal and towns really show your talents. Keep up the good work. In the mail you will find your Christmas bonus.
Any thoughts on a book with lovely photos and perhaps an additional dvd with some highlights. We would purchase that!
Really enjoying the trip. The Vimeo worked great for me in the HD format straight to the smart TV, so very easy and no buffering as I normally get when viewing on YouTube. Do you now have a Vimeo channel? I searched for the video/channel on the site but could not find it? From the cough up perspective, I would much rather pay one payment for a season or a monthly subscription rather than a donation per film, That way I can just enjoy the films and not become an armchair film critic trying to justify why I am only paying for a rum this time. Take my guilt away!!
I would like to register my interest in the 1080P versions and hope that it will become available at some point in some format.
My wife makes the best and I do mean the best fruit cake, all the fruit is left whole, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, some rum, some oven time, but they won’t let us send it – it is too dense, can not be xrayed. All since 9/11. Fruit cake – very dangerous you know. So, your bonus will be something simple that you will like a lot.
Really enjoyed the film, I intend to make the same trip next year.
Thanks Dylan and happy Christmas

Fantastic film Dylan! My wife and I lived in Newark for 3 years from 1993 while I studied violin making at the famous Newark School of Violin Making in Kirk Gate. I used to be a member of the Newark Argonauts Sailing Club while we were there and crewed in Kestrels. Geez it was cold. I recall sailing in the Frostbite Series and I only had a thin short surfing wetsuit that I brought with me from Australia, while the locals were sailing in dry suits. I was really crap at handling the spinnaker so we used to do a fair bit of swimming!
I haven’t been back there for about 10 years, so it was great to see the river and part of the town. In many ways, it wasn’t such a nice town to live in back then, but I have heard that things have improved. Thanks for bringing back some great memories for us. We also enjoyed the Lincoln film as we spent quite a lot of time there.

love the backward “sailing” downriver slomo :-) maybe it was just me but i giggled for most of it. (we once got hailed in Kylerhea for sailing backwards/going with the current – “do you need a tow?” hard to explain why its just plain fun)
Cheers for that – dragging the chain- did they sometimes have an anchor on the end, but chain kept deliberately short so that anchor would not set? Drudging. Have been meaning to try it. Merry christmas!
>>> know of Max, wears yellow wellies?
Not on formal occasions. Or in bed.
I’m not usually encouraged to moor near shiny things like Norfolk Gypsies but if you say which one I’ll do my best to at least wave next time we pass.
Looks like you spent most of the return trip going sideways or backwards?
You have incredible thing on this site.
