3. Fantastic video . . .
4. Thats crazy i used to work in the town of ramsgate on wapping stairs loved messing around on the river side picking, up old pipe bowles eta on the ebb loved the history lesson liz :)
5. Bamboo is Great but...Hemp: fibber, resins oils are super stainable and replace all exempting metals & glass!,
6. Worlds largest single mast sailboat = Worlds largest Sloop ?
7. You make this video marlarkey look effortless - but I appreciate the trouble you go to to prepare and stitch together an interesting and engaging montage.👍😀⛵
8. Bamboo is very durable... I have a cutting board made out of it.
9. as I always watch each video, I'm really enjoying seeing so many new videos! Wow at the large sailboat, that's crazy!
10. What is Sir Walter smoking at 7:56 ? He looks way too relaxed for tobacco alone. Nice pipe!
11. good stuff, very interesting, love your work
12. English pubs FTW! :)
    
    Interesting English naval history, really enjoyed it.
13. You know what a really want to see?
    Is a video collage of Jamie's fantastically obscene shirts that he rocks on every vlog!
    From grandma's pinny to van gogh's schizo nightmare.
    let's be having it then laud!!! Que the music!
    Too bloody cool man! love it!
14. great video again. I know that pub. lovely place for a good local beer. Love the bamboo boat, really nice.
15. Very interesting
16. You guys are kinda fun. Thanks for bringing some joy into my life.
17. Dirk must be South African. When he said "fantastic" that gave it away. I couldn't agree more on the grain of the bamboo. I never considered sailing up the Thames but now I'm going to look it up.
18. The boat in the background at 3:27 is "GLAZ" a Nigel Irens 50' schooner.
19. I'm Italian and I love my heritage and history but we don't have any fun stuff like this.  No old beer pubs in Roman antiquities.
20. Enjoyed the history lesson and the information about the bamboo boat. And yes Liz, I too noticed that you cut your hair. Like the new look.
