    From the West Coast of Canada I have to say 'what a beautiful home'. At the age of 75, like many of your viewers, I know I will never be able to own a narrow boat so I must do so vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing.

    Guys guys guys, what can I say, dogs at home under the table, the glow light from the fire, the hole ambience, as I can see has brought out the best smiles I’ve ever seen on you two wonderful faces. You have done really well with the design, in and out. Guys how really wonderful things are for you.
    The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one. I’m ready for it. Let’s go.

    So envious if your splendid boat. We recently sold ours. It was built in 1983 abd ' the old girl' needed so, so much work doing at it that, in the end, it was crushing our spirits. The joy departed and it felt like a millstone. Anyway the very young couple that bought it at a snip have done wonders with it to make it their home. We know we made the right decision, but when I watch videos like yours I remember the joys of being afloat. Oh well.......we're blessed with beautiful memories of wonderful experiences. Wishing you both well xx

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  Рік тому +1

    I remember as a child reading about the narrow boats in England and always thought it would be wonderful to live on one. I am now 67 and know it will never happen. I live in Australia and doubt I will ever get to England with covid. So I will enjoy myself through your travels.

    Smashing boat! And it's good to have the virtues of a big sink explained.
    Fran, if you really want to be confident with the engine, you ought to try a short course rather than rely on books.
    To power your washing machine, you could have extra solar, and possibly another battery or two. This extra up-front expense eventually saves you money in fuel, and also of course helps the planet. (I love helping the planet.)
