Sailing Britaly's boat transits the Meuse River through Belgium, overnighting in Namur before pushing toward Dinant.0:23 Shortly after leaving a lock, the engine loses cooling water — Chris traces the fault to debris dislodged when he cleaned the raw-water filter the night before.3:25 He clears the blockage by attaching a shop vac in blow mode to the saildrive outlet, forcing air through the cooling passages to purge the crud, then confirms the fix by opening the seacock and watching water spit from the exhaust.4:00 The river passage takes the crew past abandoned grand buildings, a dry-docked vessel converted into a swimming pool, riverside châteaux, and castle ruins.5:28 A sudden strong gust forces a temporary stop at a lock, where the keeper allows them to wait while the crew plans the next mooring.14:39 They secure a berth in a town centre just in time for a firework display, with instructions to vacate by 2 p.m. the following day.14:28 The episode ends with the crew preparing to cross into France, noting the welcome was unexpected.18:47 Blowing compressed air backward through the saildrive cooling circuit is a fast field fix for debris-blocked raw-water cooling after filter maintenance.4:12
