My 100 Year Old Dutch Barge has Engine Issues on the River Thames

Petra is a 1923 Dutch Luxemotor barge, once a working cargo vessel on the Dutch waterways and now my home on the water. In this episode, I explore the upper River Thames and discover the natural beauty while trying to stay cool in the summer heatwave. I then travel south via Henley to meet with other boat enthusiasts at the summer Barge Rally. While I'm there, I repair the broken injector pump on the engine and meet some striking kingfishers. 🎵 Original music composed by me, Dan Chapman.
