Hi David. Thanks for watching mate. Cheers

Andreas Duess. It's very narrow though.

We still find surprises.

Hi Clare. So glad you are enjoying our vlogs. Welcome aboard! W.

Hi Ken & Marylou. Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to maybe bumping into you on the canal system one day. Cheers

Hi Emma. Thank you for watching. More ales to come soon. Cheers

The hydraulic thrusters were extremely useful, especially with a 70ft narrowboat. And, being hydraulic, they could run for an unlimited amount of time, which was a bonus. Thanks for watching. W.

Hi Richard. Thanks for watching. W

Thanks Corrie. We're loving it.

Hello Corrie Gardner

Thank you. W.

When they built the canal system in the UK if was done 100% as a private project, so they held costs down by creating a narrow class of boat and barge. The system is unique to the UK - European canals and barges are much wider, being predominantly based on the existing river system.

Thanks Ronnie

Jessie Colt Our pleasure

Hi Scarlet. I'm glad you like her. We like her too. W

Thanks John. W.

Hi David. Thank you and cheers.

Hi Simon. You won't regret it. Cheers

Thank you Stuart. W.

Hi. Thank you for watching and thank you for subscribing. W.

Hi Stuart. There are no shortage of feeding points. Cheers

I had never heard of hydraulic drive on a narrowboat before. It makes so much sense. Yes there is a slight loss in fuel economy. But narrowboats aren't exactly the most economical thing in the first place.

Hi Joe. She was a very spacious boat. We loved her. W.

Hello Gerry wilson

Thanks Rick.

Really enjoying the Bloggs. Like your idea of a pub in view must be visited😎 My wife (Shelagh) and I are planning a similar adventure within the next 18 months. We hail from the Wiltshire area (Kennet and Avon canal) but we will be buying from the Northampton area. We will be travelling down from Grand Union and the the Oxford canals on to the Thames.We join the Kennet and Avon just outside Reading. Will be very interested how you find travelling on the Thames. Good luck and if you're down our way drop me a line. Would be good to meet up for a pint and a chat. (Email: ricwes58@gmail.com) Regards Rick and Shelagh

Hydraulic? Is it like hydraulic drive on a garden tractor?

Will do!!

Hello Linda maxson sheets

You are welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

That sounds wonderful. Thanks for watching. W.

Hi Fed. It’s a wonderful way to see the country. You simply travel with your house ‘on your back’ and pull up wherever you want (with a few constraints here and there). W.

Hi Sue. I bought the LED strip lights from B&Q. They are very power friendly. We are heading north to Leicester, Nottingham then York for Christmas. I would love to go to Crick but I have to go back to Australia and do some work to fund our next adventures. Cheers

Cheers Paul. Now there's an idea.

Are you australian

I like the guitar piece too.

Cheers.

Hello Royandloraine Northwood

Thank you Viktoria. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for watching. W.

what a lovely name!

We are "continuous cruisers". That means we must keep moving under the terms of our waterways license. When I go back to work in April we will need to put her into a marina for a few weeks but then it's straight back into cruising the cut...

when I said diesel boiler I meant diesel stove!

I have no idea why. It was there when we bought the boat. Cheers

@@LifeinaNutshell Short wire run to genny to counter line drop, maybe.

David U. It's very quiet actually. Wendy paints while we are underway quite often.

Jonathan I flew over to check it out after lots of emails back and forth from Australia.

The engine runs on diesel and that in turn drives a hydraulic pump which powers the boats systems

Yes she's a big one. The bow thrusters are fantastic when reversing. Makes life easy and it's NOT cheating.

Thank you. W.

We are working on it.

It would have been nice to keep the second diesel water heater but I doubt it would ever get used. I hope that the next owner of the heater will make use of its fantastic design.

Hi Sean. Yep its a perfect size to live on. Cheers

I think that makes at least 3 of us. Cheers

It’s in the UK.

It's very much like a subway car. It takes a while to get used to such a narrow boat. After a while you work out where the passing places are! Thanks for watching. W.

Thanks Hannah

Duck hatch.

korean love again drama

cool boat

Portholes,hatches are covers

Cassette. But we are planning on a pump out later.

Hi Eva. Thank you. We love her. W.

Thanks. W.

Hi John. Yes we are very happy with her.

I'm only 6ft so it doesn't feel cramped. I think you may just scrape the ceiling though.

Is there a height restriction on the structure of them like there is a width and length restriction?

It's easy to manoeuvre once you get used to it. The bow thruster helps.

Good point. I can see where a bow thruster would be a big help in tight situations, in holding position and in backing up. Thanks!

There are water points everywhere along the canal system. Grey water goes into the canal system and black water points are quite regular. Its cold outside in the winter but nice and warm in the boat.

Thanks Jason. Cheers

it's good to go on holiday on that boat and it's a hard working holiday doing the locks

They are narrow but you get used to it. Cheers

43 ft

Yes there are a few up north that we are to long for.

Hi Sigrid. Wouldn't it be wonderfull. Cheers

Outside is your bath, just go swimming lol

Cheese & old socks don't go together.... Sort yer head out! ;p

We are going to give it a year or two then sell her and buy a yacht then spend a couple of years sailing back to Australia. Well that's the rough plan

Great stuff. Hope you enjoy every day.

In fact they do get a bit hot. I move them away when we have a roaring fire. Thanks for noticing. Cheers

Ahh i dident know they moved good idea! i love how open the boat is and as you stated you got rid of allot of items which helps to open it up more and make it feel like there is more space.

Hi Lucky. If only we had the room. Cheers

No you can go from full forward to reverse no problems at all but I always like to do it below 1500 rpm as not to put to much stress on things.

gillywild. We have actually decided to keep it and get it all spruced up and heating. Cheers

Cheers Steve.

Not that long, under 8 minutes
