With love,
May
Thank you for sharing your home with us, she is beautiful and I hope you will be very happy for a very long time. 😊
Youre welcome
May, what a delightful boat, it's a very well appointed liveaboard boat but also very homely. I can fully understand why you love her so much. Take care.
Thanks for saying 😊
Lovely home. Lovely owner. God bless.
Amazing scenery........sunshine, greenery, growth....wow🤟
I like three words to describe things, I do that too
Hello May,
Your love for the narrowboat never dies.
You've got things well organized.
Thanks pal!
You are the Queen of perseverance Thank You for Your inspiration to keepin on. Luv Ya Bye
Such a beautiful space.
This is one of the best boats i’ve had a chance of seeing both in outfit/ gadgets and in layout
Thankyou May, you and your boat brighten my day... X
You are so welcome
Thanks for showing your World on the Water ! In Germany we call it: Gemütlich or mukkelig! A kind Hello to you from Germany, Rudi 👍
You're welcome, thanks for being here!
Well, I wasn't a subscriber, but when I saw this video come across my feed saying it was a boat tour, and I just love boat tours, I just had to stop by and have a look, and of course, I'm now a subscriber. You have drawn me in and what a lovely narrowboat it is. Bloody big too. Well done and great video. Thanks for sharing!
Peter from the Land of Oz!
Welcome aboard! I'm glad I could draw you in haha!
This is the first of your videos which I've seen, will definitely be woring througj the rest now.
I've had a few narrowboat holidays and they've been the nost peaceful and restful I can remember. Your boat looks great and I love it that you've got modern gadgets on it too, as well as the traditional stuff.
Welcome aboard!
Yesterday, for some unknown reason, the algorithm brought up your “Solo Summer Cruise” vlog. So glad it did.
The first time we heard about narrow boats was on the Inspector Morse/Lewis/Endeavour shows. Of course, the shows dealt with bodies being discovered caught in a lock, in the reeds, floating face down, or narrow boats set on fire to get rid of someone. But, they did show the locks in operation, albeit very briefly. It looked like a neat way to live a relaxing style of life (except, of course, in Oxford!).
Today, my wife wondered what your boat looked like below, and, lo and behold, this video popped up. We’re greatly enjoying your videos and have subscribed.
Yay! Welcome aboard Bill!
DIY picture frame video in the future, perhaps? Very easy little winter project. Get yourself to a little DIY shop, they should have some wood strips that would be a perfect width. I'm sure B&Q do them too. A piece of hardboard and a little hacksaw, stanley knife and steel rule - dont cut your fingers off! Measure your pictures, apply those measurements to the centre of the wood strip, cut at a 45 degree angle, cut the hardboard to the picture measurements plus half of the width of the wood strip on each side. Bit of wood glue round the edge. Sandwich the picture between the hardboard and strips. Job done!
She's a lovely boat. I love the little glimpses of her past life, the exhaust and the classic grandad tobacco tin sorting cupboard, mixed with the new technology of the air fryer and battery pack thing. Just wonderful. Thanks for the tour!
Nice idea! 😁
Love your boat May, thanks for showing us around. No need to apologise for maybe not replying to my comments, I never expect a reply but if you do I am always thrilled tgat you’ve have done. Take care May. xxxx
Hey Shirley, thanks so much for your loveliness as always x
what a stunning home, love the lay out, makes me want a boat more than ever now.
Thanks 😊😊😊
Lovely house May 😊 thanks for the tour! You look a very talented cook too, that air fryer looks incredible !
Thanks so much Ben! 😊 I wonder how those lasagna will turn out!
Thanks for the show May. When I first went on the canal, in 1992, my first boat was a Colecraft shell, which I fitted out. Colecraft are really good, well-built boats.
Nice to see another good one.
Sel. NZ
Yeah! thats great. Mines a colecraft, lucky me
Thanks for sharing a tour of your lovely home x
Youre welcome vicky 😊
great boat, a great life, well done.
That's a very welcoming boat ,looks great thanks for the video ❤😊
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful boat and it's owner luv videos
I do feel the energy, connection, unison👁
Thank you 😊
I just got a Air fryer and it is a game changer I now do most of my meals in it... I found out the best way to get rid of mold is borax detergent.. just cleaning it .. it may look clean but the root of it still there but to kill it all of it Borax does a great job... Just to let you know
Great video. Been looking for a fridge for my boat so I will check out the Montpelier. Hugs.
Please do!
YES! Absolutely love the Montpelier fridge section of your video! How adorable. More like that!! Have a good one!
Hi May🎉 fab video loved it. Tony ❤️xx
Beautiful Boat, Gorgeous May
Thanks!!
Ah I have the exact same power bank, it's fantastic. I particularly like it has a UPS and an EPS function which is handy. I'm planning to setup a system where I charge it up from solar during the day, then in the evening/night it can power a few appliances for 'free'.
That's awesome!
Thanks for showing your home i a real treat
My pleasure 😊
Well what a delight that was very interesting to watch, not only does it look homie would give more people the ideal to change to narrow boat,
Thanks 😊
Really interesting vlog May. Great to have a tour of your home and an insight of how you are able to live life in your boat. It seems very cosy. Your can do attitude certainly shines through. Well Done May and Thank You
Thanks clive!
Love you beautiful home
Thanks so much Caroline 😊
Beautiful boat 🙏 well done you ❤
Thank you very much!
Hello May, I used to live in the Black Country and have always had a fascination for barges. If you haven’t seen it you should watch a film called “The Barge Gee” brilliant film. How often do you empty your toilet and where can you, l don’t think emptying it in the canal would be appreciated. I found your link by accident, trying to play catch up but I’ve enjoyed everything you’ve done. Keep it up and take care. xxxx
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing Colin!
The solar power battery pack, is a real game changer. Think of all the wonderful meal you can make in advance and just warm up over winter. Wellbeingonwater winter soup. As for the water tank I think you can buy water purifying tablets that could be helpful. (If and when you feel like doing that job) it wonderful that you see and share the past, present and future of your boat.
How exciting!
Ooo Libby at why not gallery in Burton on trent is a fantastic picture framer :) also the shop is just beautiful to visit too xx ❤
Thanks for the reccomendation!
Good morning May, there should be a couple of water filters, one close to the water tank and one under the sink. I have a new Doulton water filter unit it's free to you if you don't have one fitted. I have insulated under my flooring and behind the window frames, my bedding etc is always dry
Thanks for the info
Thanks
Thank you so much for this generosity, sending hugs
Thank you...
Thought about your problem with water coming in from the sliding hatch, came up with an idea for you to try.
Attach a short piece of string or rope (using tape) to the corner of the hatch,ideally from the inside of the corner. Let it hang down a couple inches below the corner. The rain water should use the dangling end as a downspout, and will not want to follow along the wall of the narrowboat.
Ooo interesting, food for thought, thanks!
nice boat, I think the solar panels will generate better when cleaned and not partially obscured by straps etc.
Thanks, recently cleaned and changed the straps 👍
It looks lovely, this boat was our home for 8 yrs we bought it off Ken Froud in 2009. It was a lovely time of our lives. We got too old for the winter conditions.
NO WAY!! thats sooooo fun yay. You should come visit her
Genial 👍 excelente 😂🎉
How awesome is your life i am truly in ore. Absolutely amazing love what you do and how happy you are most of tne time. Dont give up and continue what you do absolutely inspirational.
Thanks Paul
You have a lovely home
Thank you
Nice ❤
Love your vids May
So glad 😄
Hello may mick from Hull I have just subscribed to your channel and I really enjoyed this episode and I really like your narrowboat and I will look forward to your next episode x😊😊
Hey Mick! Thanks for being here and showing up in the comments too!
Amazing use of a small space. Really interesting video.
Glad you liked it!
Hi may what a great home you've made for yourself I love it x
Thanks so much 😊
Merci pour cette belle vidéo May!. Belle maison!..Carlos🇨🇭..
You're welcome!
Went to visit Tewkesbury today cos my birthday.....well the river Avon is one side of the town.... and there was a narrowboat moored up roughly size of yours.... wonder how it got there.... cheers me dears xx
This is great!
Ok....I really like her. 😊
👋
I too adore Sea Shepherd. I figure if I ever get rich I'll hook them up.
DORff I love it!
Search Tim Conway, a comedian from America.
He does a skit called Dorf on golf.
Old but funny.
Thanks for a cool video .
Some deff insight in to you and your boat . ❤❤
Youre welcome!
May, my sweetness, you have a lovely boat and I totally love the tour. Thank you so much. BTW, your battery pack is 2400 watts or 2.4 kilowatts. If it was 2400 kilowatts, it could power your boat for months without charging.
Thanks for that, I get mixed up sometimes!
Loved looking around your home May, a great insight into narrowboat home realities and feeds my fantasies of living on a narrowboat, although I've far too much stuff and hobbies to ever realise that fantasy haha. Especially loved that you have an engine room rather than just a pit in the stern, not seen one like that before, would be my equivalent of my shed haha.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thank you for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all that you do. And what a lovely boat too 😊
Aww thank you so much for this Andrew! Big hugs to you !
@@wellbeingonwater And big hugs 🫂 for you. Best wishes.
Really good. You absolute star ⭐️
Thanks lovely 😄
AWESOME! Am jealous! Well Dun.
😊
Hello 👋 from John E May from USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great tour. Lovely home. Thanks 😊🎉
Cheers pal!
great boat girl take care mate
Cheers pal
Have you ever seen a dark green narrowboat similar size to your home called "Sweet Summer Rain"
Saw her at Tewkesbury.... Just curious.......??
Can't say I have!
Looking at your spice rack you have far better woodworking skills than me. I seem to have two left hands with six thumbs on each and I'm right handed. I love the way you are spotting jobs to do as you give us the tour. Your storage system in the engine room seems very sensible to me. No fun having to go through every tin looking for the item you want.
Aww thats kind to say! Thanks for your comment. I still end up having to look around for things haha
@@wellbeingonwaterI think we all have that problem at times. Not sure but I think the thing that attaches the tiller handle is called a Thole Pin.
Hi MAY wot a lovely home you have greetings from Cornwall your Cornish fan
Thanks!! Hi from the Cut!
I have to say the grass isn't greener on the other side my house is up for sale when it sells im getting a narrowboat and your a v lucky girl thank u brian
Thanks Brian!
Si luego iré para hacer unos videos contigo 😅
Awesome home! Thank you so much for giving us this look around.
Youre welcome
It might be a good safety feature to fit an Alde gas bubble tester in your gas locker, you would be able then to check your whole gas system for leaks, and then when your BSS is due you I believe you don’t need an expensive gas test. I have one on my boat which I live on, and is moored on the Thames upstream from Oxford take care and enjoy the life
Nice idea! Thanks
This was really well timed.
I'm trying to spec out my boat project and source the bits with an almost non existent budget.
The water issue is right on topic for me. I'm currently debating whether to fork out £500+ to build water tanks, I don't have the space for one single tank of a decent enough size. I'd also have the same concerns about maintaining it to drinking water standards.
I've actually been thinking about one of these reverse osmosis setups. Apparently they can produce drinking quality water from rivers, canals or the sea. They are cheaper than water tanks and take up a lot less space.
I didn't realise you could get solar panels as powerful as the ones you have. I've been looking at second hand panels and haven't really found anything more than about half a kilowatt each.
Even for a seasoned engineer I'm finding it pretty challenging to find solutions to small boat issues.
Yeah it's challenging as every boat is so different, but the technology is out there.!
Hello. You could show us some your recipes.
I'm interested in what you were preparing
I'll try! I honestly just throw stuff together and see what happens !
Hi May hope your well hun . If you let me know the size of the frame and colour you want I'd be more than happy to make one for you . Live the vlogs xxxx❤❤
Thats lovely of you. Can you email me? wellbeingonwater@gmail.com
Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Wow I'm not surprised that chimney scares you if you forgot to put it down. It must get hot? We had a cruiser with a big leather top to keep the rain off, so we would have to put it down when we went under a low bridge. How well do the solar panels keep you topped up without having to run the generator? Great idea with the air fryer, yeah it would be too hot to run that over in the summer. We had a small gas oven with two hobs so it wasn't too bad cooking in the summer. Why don't you use the water tank? Eckhart Tolle on the bookshelf, nice. RE the bedroom buy some dehumidifier packs, I use them in the car they work great. Nice boat.
It doesn't work anymore as anything!
Thanks for your comment!
Weed hatch? Smoke em if you got em. So hi May from Australia, you seem to be having a real blast there so I might tune back in another time to see whats happening.
Well I'm sure You'll be gifted more picture-frames than you can handle now - along with even MORE! Goodies - You're the perfect ambassador for 'any' product 🙂.... But the best place I find to get Any Size of picture-frames are at Car-Boot-Sales ... Really good ones go for just Pennies ..... A charity stall were offering TEN Large picture frames with 'Masters' prints in them, and one Aboriginal Print for just £5- the lot! .... I felt guilty so gave them £10- ... I still felt guilty, but the frames came in really useful 😄 .... Good luck May
Thanks Pete
This has made me realise how disorientated I am with Duorf!
The AFERIY looks interesting
I think it's sensible not to reply to comments, just answer the more interesting, or use for content ideas, organically, in future vids.
Nice shower.
Love seeing your cooking - soo much good vegetarian/vegan cooking out there. Link to the recipe for the lasagnas ?
Totally made the lasagna recipe up! 😊
Great Video
Thanks so much 😊
A question ive always wanted to ask a continious crusier is how to you register with Doctors, Dentist etc?
I’ll do a video on that soon!
Hi May, Great home, storage. Like the feel of space. Questions Any ideas re plants you can grow in or outside you can place in boiling water to drink? (with no lemon, lime or melon) Thank you for sharing your personnel space, Home sweet home😊😊Xx
Ummm there are many herbs you can put in your drink. I suppose what's your intention?
QUESTION: is your stove an AGA?
Thank you may for yet another great video and a look round your boat very interesting thanks Paul xx
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally the Boat Tour! Thanks for sharing. I think anyone interested in Narrowboats appreciates a Lot The Boat Tour Video ... at least I do.
Yay, i love nosying inside peoples boats too!
@@wellbeingonwater For those looking to try a narrowboat life the most important thing is to see the inside of a narrowboat. The kitchen, the living space, bath and the like ... so that we can get a feeling of how life aboard looks like. But yeah I like to see narrowboat tours too 😀
have you made a video about canal safety how do you secure the boat when you go on holiday, do you use moorings for them occasions
Yes it's called "am I safe"
I can’t help it, I was itching to clean those panels and remove the straps across the cells to stop them reducing the output massively. Sorry, I know you know.
Great reason for using an air fryer, being a very energy efficient device.
Nice layout.
Did some work on them today, cleaned and put the staps at the edge edge
@@wellbeingonwater 👍 Phew.
I love your kitchen design. Haven't seen one built on both sides. That's a large kitchen. I like your boat layout. What does "Penalty 2 1/2 d" mean?
Good question! No idea
@@wellbeingonwater That's printed on the bottom of a sign in the head.
2 1/2 d means 2 1/2 pence
Its pre-decimalisation when we had twenty shillings to the pound and 12 pennies to the shilling.
The penalty means it’s a small fine for not adhering to the rule.
Gods, does this make me feel old 😂😂😂😂
Great tour of your lovely boat and all your fancy-pants gadgets. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks lovely 😊
Can you please expand on the 15 min wash cycle on your washing machine please? Thanks
How much more do you wanna know?
Great boat , thanks for the tour May take care 👍❤️
Glad you enjoyed it
I thought for a second from the title may that you were thinking of moving into a tiny home *gasp*,you can change the boats name by (copied from the internet) "Start by taking any and every item bearing the boat's name off the boat this means documents, decor items, nameboards, and even life rings. Then, strike the name from every record, ranging from log books to maintenance documents." However, before the name is revealed or anything with the new name enters the boat, a purging and ceremony (party) of renaming must be completed if you need to change the name of a boat.
Good to know!!
Unfortunately Your solar isn't 1.5kw per panel, lol. More like 330w per panel.
I think she has got her terminology mixed up, no doubt she has been correctly been told that they are 1.5KWp panels but as you know that doesn’t equate to kWh.
Maybe 1.5kw in total for the system, which would be 375w per panel.
They look like 360w panels x 5 = 1.9kw.
In a world where we are let to believe one solarfarm provides power to a million households anyone is allowed to get this wrong...
Oops made a booboo
Great vlog Luvvie 😇
Nice boat ! Quality boat builder ..
Oh, tiller pin at the beginning haha
Them panels look like 360w panels x 5 = 1.9kw.
Impressive....
Love that pot drainer back into ya bowl !! I'm inspired..
Love all those novelties I discover from newbie boaters thank you 😇
Good layout , well done !
Definitely an 🌟achievement 🌟
Yeeeeesssss.... ball dropped
@@wellbeingonwater not too far I hope lol the ball 😄
Have a good day 😇
Happy Sunday to the lovely may ❤🎉
Same to you 😁
Lovely and very interesting video! Does the shower water come from the water tank, or also the jugs? Can you get a warm shower ie. is there heated water? I guess there's a pump to create the necessary water pressure?
Yes to all of the above!
Wow beautiful, but where do you get clean water for the washing machine and shower?
The water tank 😄
@@wellbeingonwater ah ok hahah, how many liters does it hold?
Thank you May enjoyed that and keep well living in your beautiful home 😊
Thank you Duncan 😊
A good name for your boat would be... The Mayway.
Love it
Wow. You have a great boat. How much water (depth) do you need for her? Are the canal is deep enough everywhere?
I'm not sure on how low she sits exactly but she's low! Sometimes I do get stuck! 🤭
@@wellbeingonwater ok. You are Lucky to have those canal, they are so nice. The engine is not using the water from the canal for cooling?
morning May. I have a question about the water, if you keep filling the same tank, and there is water left in, how do you keep it santised, ok for drinking, that sort of thing, and do you clean that tank regular.
the reason i ask, is that, the refugee barge, and i said to my wife, i bet they have trouble with the water, couple days after refugee's arrived on it, they were removed, because of the water. you answered my question as usual half way through the video lol, great job May
@@tao6085 i agree with that, even if the water is supplied by a hose, for 500, it has to be stored, ready for when needed, the air con, wow if they go air con great for them, as we dont usual have air on british homes, i have worked in food factories, hospitals, gmys, and other public palces, where we have to run the water, for 5 to 10 minutes per week, so there is no stagnant water, and sign for it, showers sinks, and the likes, i said to my wife a week before this is going to be a problem, im just a cleaner, not government official that should know,
Legionella thrives in warm water. Hot water should be above 60 degrees Celsius to kill it. Hot water systems which are not regularly used or do maintain that temperature are at risk from it, including domestic systems. Some types of aircon have a humidification function and the vapour from the evaporators for the condensate where bacteria thrive can contaminate it. I think May said that she doesn't use the water tank for drinking water and does not want to open that can of worms, potentially quite literally 😀
Haha brill!
