Cure for lockdown

If your getting bored with lockdown, have a look at Foxes Afloat Vlogs on Utube.  Their exploits are very entertaining and well presented.

Only ever watched their Ribble Link one but they both seem at ease in front of the camera, are having a laugh and the video was pretty well put together. Not a one for watching all the boating vlogs but if someone is then these two are entertaining.

I was in the convoy of boats emerging from the Savick Brook with Foxes Afloat. Like most Vloggers they do tend to over dramatise some of their videos, but on the Ribble Link one they genuinely were swept away towards Preston. Unfortunately it wasn't captured on video, but when they emerged onto the Ribble they were swept sideways for about 20 seconds before regaining control and turning to face the right way. It was quite scary!

 

They had made the mistake of heading too far out into the river before making the turn and the stronger current in the middle of the river caused it I think.
