    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.

    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.

    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

    • @FloatingOurBoat

You have done really well with the design, in and out. Guys how really wonderful things are for you.

    Now that is something I could live on. I love being on or near the water. Unfortunately the US doesn't have canal systems like the UK. I think a canal boat would be safer than an RV. So happy I found your vlog. It's going to be fun virtually traveling with you. Carol from New Jersey.

    • @FloatingOurBoat

    Smashing boat! And it's good to have the virtues of a big sink explained.
    Fran, if you really want to be confident with the engine, you ought to try a short course rather than rely on books.
    To power your washing machine, you could have extra solar, and possibly another battery or two. This extra up-front expense eventually saves you money in fuel, and also of course helps the planet. (I love helping the planet.)
