    Hi guys. Best of luck on your new adventure.
    I have a little trouble reading the captions you put up, but that's okay. I'll get used to it x

      Hello and thank you! We have already made the next couple of videos but will try to make the captions clearer from now as we want them to be as clear as possible :) not sure if it's the speed, colour, font or something else that is giving you a bit of trouble but we'll look at it

    Finally a sensible suggestion of what to watch. Enjoyed your first video. We bought our boat in November last year. One thing with the water tank, they do occasionally make a boom noise, especially if it is low or you have just filled up, it is just the stainless still contracting or expanding, nothing to worry about. It frightened the life out of me first time it happened. I thought something had hit the boat. Good luck with your adventures.

    • @bobbing_along
      @bobbing_along  Рік тому

      Ha! Thank you, yes, we have since discovered both our water tank and our wall panels like to go boom!

    Congratulations on your new (to you) boat!
    Can I make one suggestion that will improve your vlogging immensely, please purchase an external mic for your phone. I was straining to hear you in this vlog.
    My recommendation would be one of the Rode vlogging kits. Also watch your levels in post
    Apart from that great work and good luck 👍

    Well done on buying a boat! I too had weird dreams on the boat about the boat coming adrift in the night. 3 months later it finally happened - not too much drama as only one pin had come out and I could punt the boat back to the correct bank.

    • @bobbing_along

    One of the first things I did on my board was choose a drawer for board games. Boats and games go well together. Just miss my regular games group for stuff like D&D. Always good to see new boaters.

    • @bobbing_along
      @bobbing_along  Рік тому +2

      Yes! Likewise missing my games groups but having fun none the less. I have plans in a future video to make a collapsible games table for the cratch area!

    Lovely to find a new vlog, with a couple just starting out on their new lifetime of adventure.
    My dream is to be a full-time live aboard one day, as retirement is looming within the next decade.
    Quick tip: get a clean bamboo garden cane (or something similar) to use as a dipstick in your water tank. That way you can check the level whenever you want to. Once you know the full depth you could even mark the cane in increments, to give you a clearer idea of how much is in the tank.
    Happy cruising. Just follow your hearts and you’ll be fine. The boating community is so vast there is always someone willing to advise or give a hand.
    Best wishes and keep those lovely smiles coming. Helen Barron & Barney 🐕‍🦺

    would have thought a washing machine would be useful on the boat.....but you can always use them at marinas...

    • @bobbing_along
      @bobbing_along  Рік тому

      Hi thanks for watching! Yeah, some people have them. The two main problems we had was it was a 240v machine so we weren't sure if it would run just on solar a and even if it did, it would likely use up a lot of our limited supply of water. We decided we would rather have the cupboard space and go to a launderette.
