According to Channel 5 we are a Yorkshire couple living on a Narrowboat. We are happy to be adopted by Yorkshire as we love it there. Can we work part time and live full time from a Narrowboat? Why not follow our journey.

Are you disappointed at the issues you seem to be constantly having with the Solar system and having to use the generator? . Been watching from your old boat, and since you had your new boat and you do seem to have a lot of teething issues. I would expect some with a new system, but this seems to be quite a lot now. It’s good they deal with the issues but how long do you expect this to keep going on for?
Thanks guys for taking us along on this very summer like cruise and it's difficult to believe that it was only two months ago as it is frozen now. I hope that you three are doing well and have a great week ahead. Take care and all the best. Stevie
I think this must have been the greenest, most lush canal you’ve cruised on. The scenery is simply amazing. I had completely forgotten about the Saharan sand and had not put it together about your solar panels, where the sun provides the solar power. Thanks for the info Paul. I did love the video portion of the videographer getting an actual encounter of Anthony up and on tiller before 9A!! Anthony, we know you are in healthcare. You must be in radiology or nuclear medicine where amperage/wattage/ohms/jueles/ and percentages are important. I’m in the Paul club: in one ear and out the other! You two are just the best at canal vlogs. As always, I very much appreciate the route information and the ability to follow along. Really enjoyed seeing Anthony maneuver the boat at Ebstree lock. It gives a perspective of what is difficulty but made easy by your expertise. Thanks for bringing us along. Cheers.
Great vlog as usual guys, just a little problem in a couple of places with the audio sync.
Another great vlog,ah sunshine how lovely. Great to see you helping as usual, you three make my week take care xxx
Beautiful scenery! I loved the first locks with all the red bricks and the little tower. I sometimes think about your electrical setup (love to geek out on stuff like that) and wonder if a more direct system not mediated by so much software, programming, etc. might make for a more in-control set-up. Maybe the older electric boats without so much software involved could be instructive? (I guess you guys are on the cutting edge involved in testing out the new stuff. Electric Lab Rats Afloat (Liam is the Mad Scientist). 🤣I hope you three have a wonderful week.
Hi guys, followed you from the start it’s clear you’re getting frustrated with your teething problems, I’m sure all will be well in the end! I’m from Chester do tell which is your favourite eatery?
I have to ask. Paul, have you had a DNA test to see if you’re related to Jackie from Cruising on the Border. You have the same mannerisms, words and reactions to what you see. I think you’re long lost siblings.
We did bratch locks last Oct, was lockies on the way down, but none on the Sunday when we went back up so did it all myself while hubby steered. It was useful that the lockies had explained it to me on way down. Made perfect sense then to do it going up… I was however running back and forwards doing each bit 😂
Hi Paul, Anthony & Dexter, lovely cruise on the Staffs & Worcester. We were on the Macclesfield during that heat wave in September. Early morning was the best time to cruise to avoid the heat. We always enjoy following your adventures. Bryan & Donna
It is nice to relaxing and. I just love. You to guys and Dexter looking forward to next one 💓
Do not move into a house. I love your escapades on the water. Hope you are now moored somewhere for the winter as the weather is really going to cool down. Keep happy and well.
As always, such a lovely relaxing video,,,,,Thank you. My wife said to me,,,,, Anthony has lost weight. I agree with her,,,,, bordering lithe is the word!! Well done young fella!!!
As long as was Liam and not some oriental hacker…. stay aware and safe!
Hi, we’re Mikey & Andrew, we’re great fans of your channel and have seen all your vlogs from the start and look forward to your news each week. We feel we’ve learned a great deal from your content along with a couple of other vloggers and this has helped us plan for our own change in lifestyle.
We plan to make the move to a nb within the next year or at least commit to a build slot. Obviously questions arise from time to time which we would love to be able to ask people with real experience; hence our message!
We have heard a lot about the big increases in the boat license over the coming few years and we’d love to know what you think about it. Can you share any thoughts please? Do you think it will push a lot of people to look for a “home mooring” to keep things cheaper?
Thank you so much and keep doing what you do! ☺️☺️
Another great vlog from you guys. Such beautiful countryside, just stunning. Loved Paul’s face when Anthony was talking tech 🤪🤪🤪not a clue! Ah well we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Have a great week ☮️
I think if I bought a narrow boat I’d definitely buy a new one especially with the skylights
I'm just getting caught up, guys. Lovely to see you and enjoy the lovely, warm & green countryside. It was 9°F here this am with about 4" of snow still on the ground! Hope you & sweet Dexter are keeping well.
Beautiful to see some lovely warm sunshine on this freezing November day. Just gorgeous.
Anthony, “Towpath Tucker” an ideal sideline YouTube channel for you 😂.
Have a great week, stay warm and safe travels.
Hi Paul, Anthony and Dexter-Dog. I was very impressed with Paul's knowledge at the start of the Vlog😀 What a beautiful area you are in. That was kind of Paul to help the Look Keeper with the locks. Dexter looked so cute sprawled on the grass under a tree for shade. Shame Dexter was scared off by a horse. Bless him. I find your solar issues fascinating, and am very sorry you have had such issues. Do you think the fact that your solar cells are laid flat on the roof and not on an angle facing the Sun, could be losing you valuable watts? I like the way Paul mansplained to Anthony that Solar came from the Sun😄. I smiled again when Paul asked you, if you had your keys as you were about to ride into the Sunset to get your van. You have great banter with each other. Loved your evening meal on the towpath. That was nice when you both went for Breakfast, and Dexter was given some sausages. How kind was that? Both your perfect and skilled navigation entering into narrow walled locks without touching the sides was noted, well done. Loving the editing. Liking the green graphics. Your choices of music fit perfectly with the on-screen footage. Another great and very entertaining Vlog. Thank you very much. Sorry you had battery issues again at the end of the Vlog. Certainly very testing, as Anthony said. Paul's comments about getting divorced made me laugh (don't do it).Take care Spoolbox.
Thank you 😊
Just playing catch up here – its been a busy couple of weeks in the new job 😊 i am just loving this series of videos guys, beautiful scenery and just great to see you getting on with your lives afloat. ❤❤❤
💜💙💚
