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
It is always difficult making those decisions, but if the joy is not there for what ever reason, it is time to move on to a new phase of your life. Enjoy those memories
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. Dennyse, Australia
Good morning Fran and Rich I must say it was sooo nice to take a tour round Laura Maisie!! With you both She is a lovely boat And certainly is worthy of the waiting for her to be built You have such a cozy and easy living feel to the boat When you have put your quirky bits in the boat aswell you will be sooo at home with memories too of your Mums!! A lovely new life for you both xx
Wow. Just the most perfect home for you and the dogs, with all that light and so much space. Life is going to be such a pleasure on Laura Maisie. May you enjoy many happy years of living and cruising with her! Thank you so much for bringing us on board for our first peek.
She’s gorgeous 🤩, your Mums are no doubt pleased to have such a beauty named after them. I love the lightness of her and the fabrics, big difference👍🏻🙋🏼
@@FloatingOurBoat I knew your Mums have passed away but I believe their spirits are around you and can see. That’s why I said they would be proud. I feel my parents around me often🥰🙋🏼
I watch a lot of tiny home videos so, of course, I was interested in this. What a beautiful boat. May you both have many, many years of merry adventures with it. Thanks for sharing.
I feel they have more space than a tiny home as well, maybe not in square feet but at least in perception. I would definitely prefer this to a tiny home.
She is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! So light and airy and contemporary. I love the red stove, and at last you have a fridge!! And a washing machine. Is it also a dryer? I love the reverse layout. Much easier to pop down and fix a cuppa. And the BIG windows!!! Yes!! He's wishing you both years of happy cruising!!!!
Hi “Howard and Hilda”, I must say this video was the most interesting and enjoyable video I have seen for a very long time, with your content and commentary. Very many thanks.
I have to say I just love your boat! It is exactly what I would have picked. It is so airy and homey. I like crafts and books too. I hope you two are very happy in your new boat!
Dear Fran & Rich we are super delighted to see your lovely new home afloat. The perfect home for the 4 of you, just breathtaking ! Thank you so much for sharing ...peace & love in all your cruising . Steve & June XX
She is beautifully designed and built a real credit to you and the boatyard many ,many happy years of cruising and don't forget to take us along with you at times. THANK YOU
Such a beautiful new home. Thank you so much for inviting us in for a tour, she is absolutely perfect. Wishing you many, many years of happy life aboard.
Such a lovely boat! And more stunning sign-writing by Rob Wagg, I see! :) We're getting him to do ours too. Hoping to be on the water at the end of this month. Dipping our toes into the vlogging world with short videos of our build. :)
Thanks for showing us your new boat. You've made good choices what comes up to using the space you have 👌. Planning an interior of a boat is always a compromise. Well done!
Nice tour. The opening, panning the view of the country side and birds calling, cool morning. A perfect setting for a slow cup of coffee and just enjoy the view and sound.
A truly beautiful and well thought out layout. Very modern with pleasing colors. I love the sink, shower and multifuel stove, and the bedroom is so cozy. Congratulations on your new boat, may you have so many wonderful memories created in your new home.
I’ve been looking forward to this video for so long!! She is beautiful 💕 and I wish you both many happy years of cruising on her 🦆 Thank you for showing us around 😀
Thank you for inviting us to a tour of your lovely new home. Best wishes to the four of you for many years of happy cruising adventures. Looking forward to your next video.
What a beautiful boat! The light aboard is amazing! It shows how thoughtfully it has been designed. May you continue to have many wonderful adventures together. I look forward to watching.
Loved the boat tour! Rich I agree the dinette is absolutely amazing! If I was to have a Narrowboat having a dinette would be a must! Was the wait for this boat worth the wait? The dogs are right at home on the new boat! The design choices are really nice! You two are so deserving of this great boat! Rich and Fran I so love your Vlogs because the two of you are so great! I've been watching since the beginning and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed!
What a beautiful job Elton Moss have made of your lovely new boat, you are really going to enjoy your travels aboard her. wish you fair winds and safe landings.
It's so lovely and so are you. I have always wanted to see the inside of a barge and yours is delightful. Thank you so much for sharing. I totally love it.
Oh, I love this boat. Everything is so sensible and and so wonderfully built and planned. Of course, all the bookshelves are fantastic!!! I love the fireplace, BUT to have a weaving loom AND yarn storage AND a place for painting supplies is totally beyond wonderful ❤❤❗❗ Everything I'd ever want. Even two dogs. It only needs two cats. I wish you years of happiness and joy in this wonderful home on the water.
Oh yes, the pots of flowers too. My idea of heaven on earth! The perfect combination of everything. By the way, is that a collapsible jack or multiple harness loom? How wide is it, and what do you weave? And what sort of paints are in the paint mini - studio? Just curious (nosey) . what a treasure for you both !!
Wow, what a fabulous design she is. Love the colour scheme. The boat suits you all now. So worth the wait. I can't see you being on land again. A superb new home for a lovely couple.
Heart happiness with all the book shelves! Laura Maisie is lovely from end to end, also particularly appreciate the curtains, the pattern is so spot on and the stove is a beauty. Congratulations!
You’ve thought of everything. I hope you have many eventful cruises on your beautiful Laura Maisey. It looks like the dogs are settling in nicely. Best wished to you. ⚓️🇺🇸
Love it! And it is nice to be able to look forward to seeing more again from the pair of boat-tubers I started my boat-tube watching with! I am amazed at how big the boat appears to be! And it is nice to see you both so happy with it! May you have many happy years of cruising!
The bost is beautiful - very well designed; the Best part of course is the washing machine . A life-changing addition. Congratulations! I cannot wait to future additions. Keep us up to date how you like all the new features!!

So glad you enjoy it.
That’s a beautiful boat! It’s nice to have windows instead of portholes to let in the light.
It is so lovely and light on here, makes such a difference in the winter
Lots of bookshelves and no TV - my kind of boat 👍🏻👍🏻😃
What a beauty and Laura Maisie doesn't look too shabby either. Lucky old Rich. ❤️⛴
I'm a very lucky old bloke Kevin 😉
LOVELY... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING =)
You are so welcome!
I could definitely live in this amazing boat home. I've been thinking Tiny lately but this has really piqued my interest 🛥💗💜

Thanks kevin. We're just now looking forward to getting back to normal life. Cruising and walking. X

Thank you Dennnyse, we are happy to take you along with us
annoying! you dont drive a narrowboat, you navigate a narrow boat! & you dont park a boat, you moor a boat! get it right you lot.
You should have booked yourself a narrowboat holiday! 😊 Perhaps you'll yet be able to, in a year or two.
@@FloatingOurBoat that's a proper narrowboat reply.. We are are a friendly family who helps each other else we wouldn't survive ❤
Dennyse I would be happy to navigate you through London if you ever decide to make the trip x
Thanks for showing us around your gorgeous new home. She's beautiful, congrats!!
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you for showing me around …. It looks lovely …. And I think very cozy on a wild windy and wet English day….. make lots of memories
Thank you
Your boat is beautiful. My hubby, who is a Joiner, was very impressed by the excellent timber work. Enjoy.
Thank you, it was one of the thins that drew us to Elton Moss boats.
What a lovely, and humble couple, and I love your presentation, and your boat. Happy travels, and thank you so much for sharing x
Thank you so much
She's a beauty of a boat. Best wishes for many, many years of joy aboard her.

She's a lovely boat! Many years of happiness for all of you!

We chose not to have a drier as we felt simpler was better. We will just choose good weather days to wash
