  • A new boat show has launched in 2022, held at the NEC in Birmingham. Boat Life Live aims to be the "pre-season" (the organisers are clearly not liveaboards!) show for posh yachties but also includes a solid inland waterways contingent. Here's my record of my day there.
    Videos mentioned:
    Hiring a narrowboat: • 245. Narrowboat novice...
    Wilderness Beavers: • 235. The tiniest canal...

    Nothing better than a fantasy walk through at a lovely boat show. Like window shopping at a sport car dealership, with a couple of VW bugs thrown in to give the buyer hope. Thanks for the groovy tour Dave. Keep up the good work. Stay groovy and stay safe.

    I think I would like to give your channel an unofficial award; "UA-cam channel award for humorous or at least moderately funny puns in a video title on a consistent basis."
    Seriously, it must take some effort to keep coming up with these, don't stop! Great video as always.

    Bit of a downer on lithium? Yes. The extraction of lithium needs to be improved but just take a moment to compare it to the horrendous damage to lives and the environment caused by the extraction of crude oil.
    Also, lithium can be and is recycled. Diesel less so..

    A great vlog David. Great for boating dreams of glory and lottery winnings with yachts based in the Bahamas. In a former life, here in Ontario, I had a client who ran the National Home Show, and I know the hours of hard work that go with putting on an event like this. Good luck to this show, and I’m sure it will be a great success for Birmingham - Birmingham? Who knew!

    I always enjoy the cross references to other vloggers. Somehow it makes it all the more real--actual community. I also see most of Robbie and Allan's posts, so that's a nice touch.
    So much interesting stuff on offer, but alas, I'm on the other side of the planet where a canal system very nearly, but never happened.
    Oh well, I can enjoy from a distance, though after watching so many episodes of Crusing the Cut (and others), I'm going to have to hop on a plane and become one of those dreaded narrowboat renters for a week--just to scratch that itch.
    When other boaters yell, I'll say it was all your fault.

    I used to work for Princess Yachts. One thing that surprised me is how much waste they create, and how easily they throw stuff away. I tried to pass this observation on, but the manager wasn't interested. Good company to work for. Excellent company to work for. But my manager was a bully so I had to leave for my own sanity.

    Wonderful vlog. The widebeam is a dream. Family of 4 friendly. I can't believe it only has 60hp motor. Was shocked to see the ski boat. Don't know why. Glad to see all the improvements in electric propulsion. I can see the benefits of it in the canal long term. Yes you would still need generators to constantly cruise. The floating homes are very much a possibility. We have a sheltered marine on a river, for them where I live. I enjoyed this vlog, very cool to see all the different boats and accessories. See you next time. P.S. NO You can't have twin 300 on the canal, lol.

    No wide load for me. Who would want to limit their available options on the canals? And the cost! Also from my experience with different size campers, there is something satisfying about Over coming limitations, and more incentive to get outside when at all possible. Thank you, interesting video👍

    Great glimpse into the narrowboat universe CTC! It would be interesting to know the economic return for the participants that purchased display space. I'm struck by the growth of this narrowboat universe in the past several years, as evidenced by this show you've highlighted. Seems as though the sleepy little town all you enthusiasts grew up in there on the canals, has suddenly been discovered. Hopefully the quaintness of the beloved experience will not be diluted. We viewers are very fortunate that a consummate media pro such as you, David, is there to document the ongoing story. Cheers.
