    Have we lost our focus when it comes to enjoying life onboard our Narrowboat? Boat life and everything it means to us and our wellbeing. See Paul's art and the beautiful scenery along the canal.
    Paul & Anthony together with Dexter live full time, but manage to work part time, on a New Narrowboat, cruising the UK Canals and finding out what it's really like to be Living on a boat exploring the Nature and scenery on some of the best canals in the UK onboard a 57' Narrowboat called Morning Star. #narrowboats #narrowboatlife #Englishnarrowboat #Labradoodle #canal #newnarrowboat #livingonaboat

    Don’t call yourself simple Paul ,to be able to draw like you do is not simple and when your voicing your vlogs your heart and soul show through it’s just a different part of the brain that’s more prominent in you than in Anthony who’s very clever in an academic way so you fit together so nicely,love to Dexter xx

    Hello You Three - greetings from Poland
    Another brilliant video. I agree with "Lovely Skull" - all your videos are fantastic.
    Wonderful camera work and photography. Super shots of misty mornings, the sound of geese and beautiful countryside/scenery, made this video very special.
    Great seeing lovely Dexter. 15years old now I think. He's doing ever so well - the lifestyle must suit him. I hope Anthony is feeling better too.
    An exciting cruise this week towards and through Middlewich. Superb banter as usual. Loads of fun and laughter. Thanks so much for just being you! Lots of love. See you again soon. Stay safe please.

    Hi guys, we’ve been catching up on your vlogs from the last couple of weeks as we have been away. Lovely to sit and watch the beautiful scenery and wildlife as we cruise along the canals with you. Paul, your artwork is amazing, you are very talented and you capture the fine detail to bring each piece to life. Anthony, I hope you are feeling better and you’re back to enjoying your meals again. When I saw all that wood stacked near that house, it brought back memories of when I use to help my dad cut and stack wood when I was very young. Many moons ago.🌙 It’s a real credit to you both as your vlogs are the best. A big cuddle for Dexter.🐶 Happy cruising, Laurel & Keith 👩‍❤️‍👨😁☕️

The hedgehog and robin are adorable. It would be fun to see a high speed version of you working on something, I'm so curious to see how you work, but if you're proprietary about your technique, totally understand. You do such nice backgrounds. I am sorry to hear of Anthony's sleep issues, I'm there too. Just had a sleep study done, NOT fun. My insomnia has gotten worse since I retired last year 🙄. But, enough.

    So very nice to have breakfast with you 3! Very serene (well, except for the backwash assault! 😝) The scenic shots were lovely! I truly think that we have an imbedded, primeval draw to the smell of woodsmoke, because up until relatively recently, humanity has always been with woodsmoke for cooking (so, all around the globe, even in hot climates) and heating, since time immemorial. Anthony, I hope you are all taken care of, healthwise. I developed high BP when I was steadily taking decongestants for seasonal allergies. I didn't know that they could elevate BP! Found out at a regular dental exam, where they now always check BP as a course of the visit. I was stunned! Now, I only use a nasal spray, localized to the problem area, and that solved the side effect. I look forward to your future vlogs - thank you! Pet Dexter for me. By the way, I saw recently, that there is another Dexter, having had debilitating injury to his front legs as a pup, taught himself how to walk upright on his hind legs, like a human - he's a Brittany Spaniel and is on all social media! www.dexterdogouray.com

    They ONLY reason I watch your vlogs is because of you three. Yes, the scenery is gorgeous and your travels are fun to watch. There's lots of other vloggers doing a similar thing to you guys but they're all missing 3 essential ingredients: Paul, Anthony and Dexter. As I continue to watch new episodes I feel like I'm getting to know you all a little better each time, even if I'm not watching chronologically. What I appreciate about your vlog is who you are as people. You come across very naturally (although perhaps Dexter has you beat there by a hair! Lol), and I really like that. You're not trying to be something you're not. We each bring our own strengths and limitations to a relationship. For example, my wife and I are similar in many ways but we are fundamentally very different people. However, we each accept each other for exactly who we are, warts and all. And I find that you and Anthony (speaking to Paul here) are like two peas in a pod. Different peas that compliment each other perfectly.
    So if it weren't for you three and what you bring to the table I wouldn't watch the vlog. You are what it's all about and I enjoy you three very much. You truly seem like good down to earth people, people that I could be friends with if we met in person.
    P.S. I've now got my wife hooked on your videos!

    As Kathy Lowe says, you complement each other beautifully - my late husband and I were the same, me the academic and Patrick (Patrick Sanders - google him if you like) the artist. If I'm honest, when I saw the title of the vlog (I think you could certainly call it a film btw) my heart sank a bit, as I thought 'oh no, they're going the same way as another couple I used to follow on UA-cam' using attention grabbing titles to draw people in, but you seemed genuinely to be worried about losing focus on how you saw the vlog going originally. All I can say is that I have been with you all along the way the last two years and I have enjoyed every single vlog you have uploaded. I have felt a little less alone and a little less trapped when I was in my house alone during COVID and now that things are opening up again it's been a real pleasure watching your travels whilst starting my own tentative journeying whilst still grieving. So what I am trying to say is you two keep doing what you're doing and before you know it you'll be looking at 22K subscribers and more! Wishing you both (Dexter too!) a lovely week. xx

Paul was concerned that the things we love about our life wasn’t being reflected in the vlogs so it is nice to have that reassurance we haven’t lost focus.

    What a lovely vlog--they always brighten my day. And I must say, as a lifelong academic, I have found there are many kinds of "clever"--and your artistry, Paul, is a type of clever I could never do. (I loved your joke with the shadows on the water--"there's an arty shot" 😂). And its so interesting how we can contact other humans beings through this medium, and feel, in a small and new kind of way, a type of friendship. (For example, now I am worried about Anthony's health! And I feel so bad that you are uncomfortable after eating! I hope the bloodwork gets that all figured out soon.) And please, yes, more of the nature around you in your videos--your work is so good with this, and it makes me happy. I hope you three have a wonderful week.

You and Anthony’s personalities shine through every Vlog you put out which is why you have almost 11,000 subscribers! Your kind, personable, funny, and thoughtful. You make the perfect “Vlog Pals”. I am looking forward to the microphones as CC really botches things. When you mentioned comfortable with the fire, it showed “king fu” 🤣😂😅. I know you joke about going on a diet a lot, but both of you look great! So eat cake! I hope you get some good news and advice from your doctor Anthony. That scene near the wash was scary. Hope you are able to catch up with Gary and Nikki. I will miss the Live Chat tonight and will have to catch it tomorrow. Had to edit my comment as I had my time zones all mixed up.

    Anthony is undoubtedly learned, I admire his thirst for qualifications but you’re far from simple Paul, though maybe in tastes, that’s no bad thing. You’ve missed your vocation, some lovely photography and footage. For me, 5.33 and onwards the swans in the background stretching their wings - just beautiful and your musical deliberations were definitely worthwhile (as is your closing credit choice - love that!). This is my last thing, relaxation, guilty pleasure to settle me to sleep 😴
    I hope Anthony’s health is ok (I know I’m way out of date and I haven’t quite caught up from day one yet 🙄 but I’m getting there and it’s a joy). Oh, and the wind baffles for the mics in my days as a medical photographer were always called w*lly warmers 😱 can’t believe I put that in 😂

    Hi Paul, Anthony and Dexter Dog. Paul what a beautiful opening chat. Both you and Anthony have very special talents, which makes you such a great couple. Not forgetting Dexter-Dog who is as Super-Kool as his Dads. The editing of your Vlogs is always so well thought out and executed. For example in the early part of this week's Vlog, when Paul moors the boat up, there are 3 different angle shots, so obviously at least 3 takes. I really appreciate the effort you put into making your Vlogs look seamless. The Music choice is always the right choice that matches the shot. It was funny when Anthony popped up from out of the Galley (when we all thought he (Anthony) was asleep, and Paul said here he is, and Anthony was looking to see who it was! So funny. You guys are so wonderful together. Anthony, well done in controlling the boat when you were being pushed against the bank by that strong wash. Loved the couple of Beeps over the S/T during the water wash incident, so funny but very understandable. A beautiful cruise finishing by the "Beep Beep" bridge (I'm smiling again). Thank you both for another excellent Vlog. Did I miss "5 minute Friday" or "11min Wed" this week, I was looking? Have a lovely week. Take care.

Love the effort he puts in every week and it is lovely that so many recognise it too. I honestly thought he meant he had seen someone else 😂. I had a bit of a wobble with that bywash. It was so strong.
      The beep beep bridge did become annoying in the end, so Paul was right 😂 You didn’t miss the short this week. Paul didn’t have time. Hopefully will be one next week. Hope you have a lovely weekend. ❤

    What I wouldn't give for a warm day. 🥶 It's 32F with 20mph winds so being sunny pretty much means nothing. It is bitter cold and I truly hate it. Could be worse, of course. At least there aren't massive amounts of snow like in the North East US. 🌨
    Sorry to hear about the blood pressure and I hope it isn't coupled with diabetes. I'm on 3 meds for HBP.
