  • This week’s video continues from last week! Whilst cruising from Foxton to bridge 33, we answer your questions! Some answers are very serious, some are light-hearted and in places we have a good giggle, mainly at each other lol 😂
    We thoroughly enjoyed answering all of your questions about our off-grid life in our NARROWBOAT floating home! Really hope you’re happy with our answers! Please let us know in the comnents! 😃 xx

    If you are new to our channel, here’s a little introduction. We are Julie and Martin, and in 2021 we sold our house and gave up our jobs, to live full time on a narrowboat. We bought our 2004 narrowboat floating home Rhapsody in Blue in the September and have been living full time onboard ever since. We hadn’t intended on vlogging, but recorded videos for ourselves and family and it has escalated into the weekly vlogs you see today, so lovely to have tou all onboard! ❤️
    Please join us as we continuously cruise the inland waterways of the UK, sharing our cruises and adventures with you all, thank you! ❤️
    We’ve made a couple of playlists for you too, one with all our favourite cruises and the other is all of our vlogs from the beginning, so you can binge watch to see where we’ve been so far! There’s also a walk through of our narrowboat home too, come inside and see how we live. ❤️

    I am subscribed to, and regularly watch, just scads of canal boating vlogs. There are some I've seen where the personalities of the vloggers don't strike the right chord with me. You two are just so adorable and fun that I absolutely have to come back to every new upload you do. And Julie, I seem to know minutes ahead of time exactly when Martin is going to sound the horn on your boat. I think his inner prankster and mine must have been schoolmates together in a previous life. You're married to him, and yet he still manages to give you a jump-scare every time he sounds the horn. I have to admit, I find that so cute. My wife is from Portsmouth, but moved to the US long before we met. Imagine a Yank with a sense of humor parallel to Martin's, married to a Pompy Girl, and how much fun we have driving each other mad together. My most recent prank, if you want to call it that, was sneaking online and buying a new used car for her. She came home one afternoon from a church-organized trip to find a beautiful 2016 Toyota sitting in her parking space in the driveway. The look on her face was worth all the trouble I took to keep everything secret from her. (She hates me spending money on her, but she never complains about me buying anything for myself. So to have the car delivered to our door while she was off being a Teacher's Aid with her church group took me an enormous amount of effort to achieve.) --Dan

      Hi Dan, thank you so much! So pleased that you are enjoying our videos, and of course Martin’s antics too! 😜 I wish I knew when he was going to sound that horn, it’s so loud at the front of the boat lol 😂 What a great surprise for your wife, a car, I bet she was made up! 😃 Well done for arranging it without her knowing, such a wonderful surprise for her! Thank you for your lovely compliments Dan! xx

    Good interesting vlog - with humorous interludes 😂. ONE QUESTION: with your security system, does it have a facility like you can now get on door chimes security that is linked to one of those Smart watches/mobiles? Where if someone stepped onto the boat - even the gunnells - your mobile would alert you and you can see/film who is there, and even scare the daylights out of them by speaking?? Continue exactly as you are doing because this is your dream and we are just the lucky ones you have invited along for the journey.

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB  2 місяці тому +2

      Hi Jill, aww thank you for your lovely kind words, it really means a lot to receive comments like this! And yes, the Reolink security camera does have that function, when we arm it of a night time, (or when we’re away from the boat) we get alert notifications, and we can see, hear and interact if necessary too. We may do a brief update on the camera, as we’ve had a few people enquire recently. Thanks Jill! xx

    I really enjoyed all the questions and answers in both parts, guys, and especially all of your antics and poking at each other. You keep me in stitches! Even though I was paying close attention to everything you were saying, I couldn't help but be thrilled by all the amazing birdsong in these vids, especially the second part. I think they were all as happy for the beautiful weather as you two were! I hope it's a great week for you both, and I look forward to seeing you next time!

      Oh crikey Wendy! It would definitely pay you to light your multi-fuel stove, and you’ll be surprised at how little you would need your central heating on! £1.28 a litre is quite expensive! Mind you, hopefully we won’t need any heating soon eh, warmer days are on the way! Yay! Thanks Wendy! xx

    Well, one drawback to living on a narrowboat is there's no doghouse to send your husband to when he gets in trouble... and something tells me Martin would have a lot of "frequent flyer" miles built up if you did. 😂
    Ok, I live in the southern US where we had a few 105F+ days last summer (our current record is 115F!!) during the height of summer. I know it doesn't get near that hot in the UK but, how do you stay cool and, is there any sort of air conditioning available for narrowboats? Thanks.

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi Roger! Lol, yes we could do with a dog house 😂🤣 The hottest it’s been over here was 104°F/40°C in 2022, but usually we get around 80°F/27°C which is hot enough lol 😂. The boat can get hot, we have a couple of fans, but no aircon! We usually open the windows but close the curtains and the boat stays relatively cool. Thanks Roger! xx

    Great video thanks. Some interesting questions too and as you know, we are new to this, so soaking up all the advice! Re the stove. Narrowboat Spudley did a brill vlog if anyone wants info on how to light and maintain the stove, Wayne did a vlog all about it so def worth watching for anyone who is thinking of getting one, or just got one! All the best. Kerry & Colin NB Time To Pootle x

    If America had canals, life on a narrow boat would be a nightmare because of constant harassment by law enforcement. City, county, and state police as well as DNR and Coast Guard would stop and board your vessel looking for violations. This would repeat every time you passed from one jurisdiction to another. America is a fallen state and a police state.

    Can you get supermarket deliveries to a boat? I remember getting booze delivered to a park in lockdown (deliveroo I think, but I think they stopped that now), didn’t realise supermarkets deliver to non postcode addresses.

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB  2 місяці тому

      Hiya, yes, we have Tesco deliveries quite regularly! So long as you can get an address with a postcode, even a bridge has a postcode, then you just put a message in the notes bit that you live on a boat and for the driver to call 20 minutes before arriving and you’ll walk up to meet them. We’ve had deliveries to car parks, pub car parks and bridges, it’s great! Thank you so much! xx

    Hi Julie & Martin, been following your vlogs for a few months. As an Englishman living in Canada my wife & I are looking to hire a Narrowboat in November this year for a month, to find out if we will enjoy a life on the canals then with the intention buying our own boat next year. We hope to hire a boat from Heyford Wharfe in Oxfordshire, Have you any advice you could give us please?
    Thanks Pete & Mary

    • @JulieandMartinonRIB
      @JulieandMartinonRIB  2 місяці тому

      Hi Peter & Mary, great idea to hire in the winter, you will know by the end of the month if boat life is for you. Although November is early winter, you will get some chilly nights, but the boat should be equipped to keep you warm. We would suggest to bring mainly warm practical clothes and good walking boots, and wellies lol. Be prepared for possible muddy towpaths and rain and wind. Tips would be: WATER: never pass a waterpoint without stopping to fill up, FOOD: keep your kitchen cupboards stocked up with a few packets and tins etc, as you never know if the temperature drops and you get frozen in, so you’ll always have food and water. TORCHES: Take a few torches, as it gets dark at 4pm, so if you were to walk to shops, or a pub etc, you really need a good flashlight to see your way along the towpath. MAPS: Buy a good map book, either a Nicholsons or a Pearsons Guide, and download the OpenCanalMap App on your mobile phone, it’s a GPS real time SatNav for the canals, it shows you where you are and where services, shops, pubs and moorings are. There’s also a website you may want to use canalplan.uk/cgi-bin/canal.cgi Canal Plan, you can plan your route and it tells you how long your journey will take and how many locks there are etc. Bear in mind that CRT do their winter maintenance on the canals and locks between November and March, so there may be stoppages/canal closures along your route. Both the App and website show these, however, I would speak to your boat hire company before you take the boat out just to see if there are any planned on that canal. CRT release their winter maintenance schedule around August/September time, to give boaters plenty of time to work out and get to where they need to be to avoid closures. Although obviously we love the summer months as it’s nice and warm and sunny, we really love the winter too. In winter the canals are a lot quieter and most moorings become 14 day moorings, so you don’t have to move so often. Another tip would be, if you are unsure of something, or find something particularly difficult, don’t suffer in silence, ask the nearest boater for help or advice, the boating community is wonderful, everyone helps each other. So if you’re in a tight spot, just ask, everyone is happy to help!
      Most of all we would say, enjoy every minute! Hope this helps! If you have a specific question or need anything else, just give us a shout. Thanks! xx

      Aww we’re so pleased you enjoyed it! We did have a bit of a giggle 🤭 Martin can be trying sometimes lol, but I did get him back when I was steering hee hee! 😝 Yes obviously we shouldn’t just go 100 yards lol, but so long as you go a decent distance and in the same direction you’re fine. We are continuous cruisers, so we have to cruise, people that want to stay in the same place as the chap you described, would need to pay for a home mooring or marina. The reason for this is to allow everyone to use the canals and not have people continuously ’mooring’ that way everyone gets to use all the moorings. So so pleased you enjoyed this one! Thanks Nicholas! xx
