CHRISTMAS MESSAGE - From my NARROWBOAT
Hi Guys,
This is my final vlog for the year! Thank you so much for the support over the last 12 months. I'm excited for 2022 and all things to come.
See you then!
Kayleigh
I'm Kayleigh and along with my two dogs Hugo and Coco we will full time on board our 57ft narrowboat Slievenamon. My second Narrowboat which I am currently in the process of renovating. I'm working on making the inside liveable before tackling the many exterior projects and maintenance this boat is more than ready for!
Join me as I renovate this boat from the inside out!
Subscribe and welcome aboard - follow me on my narrowboat journey, where I will show what its really like living and navigating the English waterways as a solo female.
New video released every Monday.

    Sorry to see this channel is now inactive. I see the boat was advertised for sale, in August 2023. "This is a genuine unexpected sale due to a change in personal circumstances" I hope the owners are doing OK.

    Yes its 10 times harder if you are of smaller stature, a persons weight helps to control the boat from the centre line, so wee persons do have to try harder and pull the boat (which is tough), the guys advice to take your time is golden, there is never a rush in narrowboating, its always rushing that causes slips and incidents. I never like those mini steps on the side, i prefer a method to step down at the back even if its a small ladder, if riding solo it doesnt get in the way, one other tip if you have a second person on the rear deck brief them to stand still out of the drivers view from the start, they inevitably like to move around and obscure the drivers view at key moments. As has been said it is commendable that you have taken the time and money to learn how to navigate, many dont and bluff their way along until they are up to speed, the right way is to do training and be prepared for your first voyage way less stress and boating is about leaving the world of stress behind, i did training as do all inteligent boaters 👍

    These narrowboats appear to be a 24/7 maintenance headache. The soggy climate of England certainly doesn't help. A change of thought: I always wonder how much debris has been tossed in the English canals throughout history ?
