Hi,
I'm Kayleigh and along with my two dogs Hugo and Coco, we live full time on our 37ft NARROWBOAT which we bought and renovated in six weeks. This channel will show what it's like living full time in a small narrowboat and navigating the English and Welsh canal and river waterways as a solo female.
We moved onto our boat having previously lived in our self converted camper van for almost two years.

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.
Love the Tartan on the sofa 😍
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 👍
Just came across this chanell
Missing the relaxing videos and quality content... Best wishes for 2024 !
Great vlog, am dreading tackling this job, but gotta be done
This just came up in my feed. I miss seeing your videos. Hope you are doing well. Take care.
Is the Marina in a 'secret' locaton? Or did you just fail to mention the marina name 😂
In case you get this can i ask where you got your cratch covers from please and what would you recommend for internet, i need good internet for work as no doubt you do?
Hi we got the covers done in Nantwich (there is a canvas maker who works along side Venetian Marina - would highly recommend. In terms on internet we used the Vodafone mifi and found it works very well. 😊
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 ?
Looks so good!!!
so kitchly easy !
Will you be making anymore vids?
Wooooooowwwwweeeeezzzzzr, You Guys did a lot of work!!!!!! ...... Outrageous Outstanding Awesomeness is The Result!!!!! Cheers 🥂!
Thank You Soooo Much!!!!! .......this is exactly what I want to do , when I get my narrow boat!!!!! ...... I'm too old for continuous cruising, and want to Moore up in a Marina during Winter ❄️🥶! This Marina is Perfect, Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!! .......your "Puppers" are Adorable too !!!! Cheers!
I sure will need a life Jacket 😂 and floaties for my cycle, when I fly off in the Cut !!!!! Oh Geez 🤣!
Enchanting!!!!! Many Thanks 🥰👍!
Many Thanks 👍,!!!!! I Love your Boat 💕!
The most convenient kitchen I ever had was also the smallest--built into a portion of a hallway in an old house; nothing was more than two steps away from where I was.
Thanks
Did you know that ALMOST electrocuting yourself is also called just existing or NOT electrocuting yourself 🙄
I really enjoyed the video, thank you.
Hi how’s it going.
I would love to live on a narrow boat , but the only thing that puts me off is not having every convenience at hand ❗️and am I too old in my early 50's and alone ?
Well done for wearing lifejackets.I'm a great advocate especially as a solo boater
I would love to hear about real life costs and things needed to live aboard, like insurance and certification and things ?
Hi kayleigh, I've just taken the plunge and bought a 70ft narrowboat lol.... talk about start big !! First time boating too... should be due to set off around mid march and will be around the trent canal area .... I'm another female with my dog roxie.... she's a Yorkie....

Hi Kayleigh are you coming back to you tube
I'm considering buying a coalcage for my Morsø. Do you still recommend it?
Perfect balance of life, rent house out and live on a boat. 😁
Hi Kayleigh - We just hope that you are well and happy, Steve n Joan (Mussy)
Where are you? I want to see all the updates!! 🤣👍
Wow…. What a Difference. Looks Fab
We did the Black Country Ring Two Weeks ago on a Hire Boat and did this bit of your trip. It was the BEST HOLIDAY I’ve ever had. I’d love to have your life but it just doesn’t fit yet with Work & Kids at school 😤. Maybe One Day fingers crossed
Hi Kayleigh, such a lovely vblog thank you! Im thinking of living on a boat and i wondered how you get on with managing locks on your own and mooring? I will also be living alone and as a total novice, the locks look so complicated to navigate solo! Hope you are still enjoying the canals and your beautiful home . really enjoying your channel 🌺🌿🍀
Ooo do u have any update video , hope all is well.
Hi Kayleigh, I’m disappointed that you don’t seem to be blogging anymore. I hope you’re ok. X
I for one miss the lovely views and fabulous camera work of Live aboard lifestyle!
Hope you are well. Miss your vlogs.
Use baby oil to shine stainless steel ( old chippy trick ;)
HI, Kayleigh when you back miss you.
Nice one- I’ll be using these tips when I come to do mine 👍🏼
Heeey are you still here?
Hello, I’m just wondering if you’re ok and if you’ll be doing anymore Vlogs, I’ve not see anything new from you for half a year or so. Hope you’re ok. X
Where did you go?! I really used to look forward to your vlogs. It's a shame you haven't done one in a while. I hope you're ok
