“I don’t want to live in italics” hahahahahahahahhahaha Wes comedy genius! Whilst writing this I am mindful that panic attacks are very scary and not to be laughed at, you two are the best for each other you are such a great team ❤❤
Nice video. Remember some basic ship stability: The higher you put weights and the further away from the transverse centreline, the more they have an effect on the list, due to the distance from the vessel's centre of gravity. High weights also make the boat less stable. Always put weight low down. I would also invest in bilge alarms, separate from any pumps, under the floor and in the engine room. The piece of mind is well worth it.
As your water tank runs down any small weight imbalance will be magnified quite a lot. The boat will seem well balanced with a full water tank then it’s list city with an empty tank. Also if your moored on a less than perfect mooring it’s very easy to catch up against the ledges caused by speeding boats. You did exactly the right thing by checking your bilges next time first thing is to un tie the boat and see if it corrects itself 99 times out of a hundred it will. Finally, CONGRATS on your 100th vlog!!!! Here’s to the next 100!!
Hi Amy and Wes, Wes I think you are so brave to share your anxiety, and Amy you are so caring and kind to Wes, what great role models you are , congratulations on 100 fantastic episodes, xxx❤❤❤
You guys are absolutely beautiful. Thank-you for all your journeys. I have been told if you get anxiety. Put a pinch of salt in your mouth. It shocks your brain into working out what it is and takes the thoughts away from your anxiety. Hope this helps. Wes you are doing great my friend.
Thats really lovely, thank you Andrew! 😊 haven't heard of that trick, have heard of putting your hand in cold water which sounds similar! Good to know 😊
The boat listing when you don't know what it is can be very stressful because you fear the worst. But you checked that you weren't taking on water (and let's face it, that is probably the worst that could happen on a boat) so then you have to think it's probably just weight distribution or maybe grounding out or something like that. I understand though, it can be difficult to convince yourself it's all fine. Congrats on the 100th episode 💯 😃
Yeah, we are glad it was just weight distribution and nothing worse! Thank you so much for all your support and lovely comments on all of our videos Ronnie! We really appreciate them! 🤗
Congratulations on 100 fabulous episodes!! They say that being pooped on by a bird is a sign of good luck. 2023 is going to be a good year! Many blessings to you!
In some cultures, being pooped on by a pigeon is considered good luck. I think people just made that up to make themselves feel better about being pooped on by a pigeon, but I guess you could also choose to think the pigeon chose you because you're so special? 😅
Happy 100th episode mi ducks 👍after watching back to back up to 10 episodes a day we have nearly caught up, just 5 episodes to go. You pair are truly inspirational and certainly our favourite UA-cam boaters 👍
I've been watching you guys for a few months now and I love your videos! It's so refreshing to see people living their lives however they want to! I also share your love for chips so cheers xx
Funniest vlog I’ve seen in a long time! and well put together, I might add. “They said live closer to nature!” LOL! Wesley face down on the sofa whining was hilarious also. You seem like a super nice pair of young people and we enjoy the videos. Best of luck.
Well done guys. Lovely to see and hear first hand how you deal with anxiety and stress. I'm learning a lot from watching, thank you. On the listing point I understand a bit about physics and mechanics and also about wet wood. It's really heavy - so if you put loads one one side of the boat and it's on the roof then it's a big weight above the centre of gravity (the waterline) Any other tiny changes in weight distribution will make the boat lean a bit. Don't worry about it when moored. If the bilges are dry you won't sink. If you're cruising it will be more efficient to be level, but it's something to observe and tweak, but not worry about.
I (Stuart) feel you on that Wes. I love our boat but I swear, sometimes she leans one way or the other just to mess with me! I wouldn't swap boat life for land life but it does come with its terrors and trials.
Loving it.... I'm looking out my windows in the middle of another snow storm...I have had our roof shoveled off last month, ($650.00), and there's another four feet of snow now... Roofs are collapsing around ours and surrounding communities, one beautiful community lost their library when the roof collapsed under the snow load. And the good news is that it doesn't snow at -40°F so it's had to warm up to 10°F...Heatwave ! We all have our trials and tribulations..You two hang in there. I appreciate you very much. Gary in Alaska
Happy 100 episodes! 🎉 It's been such a joy following your adventures, whether they've been high times or low. You two are always a bright spot in my week. Here's to many more adventures shared!
Congratulations on your 100th vlog all have been grand and many to come we hope anxiety is a dretful thing Wes but Amy is always there for you and seethe distress in her face awww Amyi feel for you all can say is I have struggled all my life with bipolar had electro therapy in my twenty’s and still comes and goes at 78 all you can do is brush yourself down and carry on best you can take each day wish you both all the best luv the oldies 🤗👋👍🤗👋👍
Congrats on your 100th episode. You have such a great channel :) We hold a wassail (pronounced wass ale) here in our community orchard on Hornby Island, British Columbia. Ancient tradition carried on across the globe :)
Hi Amy and Wes. Well done for such positive self mediating and supporting each other through the challenge. That teamwork helps the relationship dream work! We love your videos, thanks for sharing. Sending you much love and best wishes for a gentler week for you both. ❤😊
Thank you Rachel for being here for so long, all your lovely comments on all our platforms and all your support! They always make us laugh/and or smile!! 🥰🥰 hahaha, we will try 😉
Well I think you 2 are doing fantastically well with looking after your cute boat 👍🏻 so stop beating yourself’s up & keep smiling because you 2 have got this ❤️❤️❤️ X X X
Congrats on your 100th Vlog. Good work checking your bilges. We had an issue with our boat and tried a variety of different solutions including moving the furniture, coal, logs etc. It turned out to be the pump under the kitchen sink. There was water all over. It's fine now but I still spend longer than normal staring at the stern to make sure we are level.
Sorry you had that stressful experience. Looks like you found out what caused it. The wassail was a good thing to see. Happy 100th episode. Take care. Nick
Congrats on 100th vlog.... very eventful indeed.... but that's life isn't it full of lots of ups & down or in your case listing but you seemed to really get a handle on it and my thoughts are usually when something throws a wobbly at you, your more inclined the next time to handle it better or even shrug it off as you know what to do.... take care cheers Debz from Oz
Its got to be the water level dropping guys. I've had it before on the Thames, dropped 6 inches in about 10 minutes, ropes went tight. An hour later all was fine :-)
I think you went about reasoning out the problem quite well. Check first here's no water in the boat then not so worrying. Very puzzling though. Happy 100!
100th episode massive congratulations guys looking forward to the next 100, did you guys do anything with the problem you had with the chimney ? i was wondering if you got a cowl like i suggested ?, i must say i was disappointed when Amy got pooed on, i was hoping for her to say Wes bring some paper a bird has pooed on me, for Wes to say there's no point Amy it will be miles away by now LOL
Great field improvising on the washing trolley,l would have hijacked the shopping trolley,l was pushed home in one after a night out 🧐and the listed boat-l reckon the canal bed was uneven .l can see you are wary of varying water levels like 24/7and rightly so!
As long as things are dry in the bilges there is not much to worry about unless you are a cargo vessel! Did you consider the amount of water on board, the waste tank (if a pump out), diesel in the tank? The logs on one side on the roof will make quite a difference though - the higher you place weight the more the listing effect (not just distance from centreline). It did look like the waterline was low too, so were you sat on the bottom on one side? I will be watching for the next video to see if you have an answer to the mystery. I'm with you in worrying about a boat listing, but as I said at the top, if the bilges are dry I wouldn't worry unduly.
Water always a problem! Boats sink, houses (roof) leaks! If you got a tyre or two to drop down between the boat and ledge to stop your boat shelving onto it? I sympathise with panic attacks, just makes things harder. Hugs from a New Zealand granny, you both problem solving well.
Take care wow I am not sure about boat life. I checked on a houseboats for sale all the costs. We could not afford it. Are home with 20 acres. Costs us less. Darn it. One day maybe I can rent a houseboat for a week and get my feet wet. I do worry about you both. I guess that's been up in age. Give Rufus and Dups a treat for me.
Tythe meant a tenth in old English,so a tenth of all products had to be handed over to the land title owned which I believe at Bradford was laycock abbey
Get a good nights sleep. Your bilge is dry Whats the worst that can happen? Seriously you're over thinking this. Having said that I'm jealous as hell of your lifestyle.

The old saying being pooped on by a bird brings good luck. At least it happened on wash day. Enjoy watching your videos.

I (Stuart) feel you on that Wes. I love our boat but I swear, sometimes she leans one way or the other just to mess with me! I wouldn't swap boat life for land life but it does come with its terrors and trials.
Yes totally agree! It has so many wonderful peaks, but some pretty intense lows too. Keep at it though, we got this! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 (Wes) x
I remember being on a ledge around there. I improvised a massive fender out of a bucket, which seemed to work. Congratulations on your 100th.

Thank you Mark! 😊
Maybe it listed the other way when you took your washing off the boat😂
😂😂 quite possibly, it was a big ol load
Happy 100th Episode!
Perhaps it was the new ppl on the rented narrowboat that left a gate open? Maybe?! 🤔
100th episode massive congratulations guys looking forward to the next 100, did you guys do anything with the problem you had with the chimney ? i was wondering if you got a cowl like i suggested ?, i must say i was disappointed when Amy got pooed on, i was hoping for her to say Wes bring some paper a bird has pooed on me, for Wes to say there's no point Amy it will be miles away by now LOL

It wasn't a donation,a tythe was a tax.
oooh, thank you John that's interesting to know!
Tythe meant a tenth in old English,so a tenth of all products had to be handed over to the land title owned which I believe at Bradford was laycock abbey
Get a good nights sleep. Your bilge is dry Whats the worst that can happen?
Seriously you're over thinking this. Having said that I'm jealous as hell of your lifestyle.
Probably one of the ridges on the side below water line sitting against shelf when boats go by
