We have now put a deposit down and the build will start in March next year! We have done our homework and can’t wait. Keep blogging, love them. xx

    My Friday laughs and feel-good time taken care of. Wise words of advice with a dash - no, make a dollop - of good humour. Funny thing about lifestyles - when my late wife and I took early retirement in the late 1980s to run a B&B on an island off Lake Ontario, we decide to avoid Canadian winters and invested in a modest condominium bungalow development called Seascape in Destin, Florida. We were in Tennis Village (no, we didn’t play tennis but that’s a whole other story). People used to envy us - wow - having an all-winter holiday - must be nice to be rich. We would always (politely) reply we weren’t “on holiday”, we were simply living down there instead of Ontario for six months of the year. Our needs were simple. We shopped, walked the dog, joined various clubs and made winter friends from among Americans and Canadians. We built up two sets of clothes and simply moved from one house to another after a pleasant three-day drive. Living on a narrowboat is not one long idyllic “holiday” right? It’s just living a lifestyle that suits you both. The trick is looking at all sides realistically, budgeting and deciding what’s best for you. Some of the happiest days of our retirement years were spent living the way we wanted too and those precious memories are mine forever.

    In Germany we still have the word "wenden" which means to change direction/turn [a vehicle] around (after driving in the wrong direction for example) but you could also use umdrehen which lit. means to turn around. Wenden is also used in combination with Food (Turning/flipping Pancakes for example)

    Collin you keep me interested in your channel because you’re so knowledgeable. My ancestors came from England but I knew absolutely nothing about it. I’m told that King Arthur was a family ancestor. I haven’t got that far in my genealogy. But I’ve learned a lot about these narrow boats that my memory calls long boats. I really love how you can travel all over England on these boats. My uncle was in the navy here and was a lieutenant. I leaned to navigate using maps and traveling and living on the big yachts. I’m petrified of sinking and I don’t like fish. But Collin your head is just full of knowledge. Shaun is so crazy in a good way. Keep up the wonderful work!

    Lovely vlog again with good tips for prospective boaters. Having just clocked up 3 years on my boat I can't imagine moving back to a house (as I am old the deciding factor will be when my knees give out). I am absolutely with you on the subject of generators, I know some people say they are quieter than boat engines but I don't think they are, especially if you have a well maintained engine. One noise you didn't mention is water birds pecking at the weed that grows below the waterline in warmer weather. The occasional tap tapping on the hull isn't so bad but one morning a while back a whole flock of Canada Geese decided to have breakfast at my place - it was like having a pneumatic drill in the basement.

    You guys should set up a print-on-demand merch account and sell T-shirts (and mugs, and totes, etc.) with a picture of laughing Sean captioned “You can’t SAY that!!!” ;-)

    “You can’t say that” quote of the week again!! Awesome. You are both very funny and have a great rapport.
    You both need an uncensored channel. Thank you for keeping me laughing on a Friday afternoon. Have a great weekend.

    Impossible to watch this very entertaining vlog and not laugh, especially with Shaun’s most excellent laugh and telling Colin “You can’t say that.”
    I suggest a new version of your “You can’t say that” T-shirt, it should have both of you on it, Colin with censored across his mouth and Shaun saying “You can’t say that!”

  • @susanseller5825
    @susanseller5825 Před 3 lety +2

    Excellent, having had a few narrowboat holidays all ring very true. I couldnt guess any of the censured words and usually can, so made up my own. Another biggy is still being able to tolerate, enjoy, laugh with, love, be flexible with and like any person you are cruising with. Lots of laughs thank you three xxx oh and a glimpse of Dillon x

    The mind boggles, Shaun humming during the night, perhaps he forgot to switch off his toy.....
    Other great video guys, thanks.
    Stay safe, it's still out there. Don't forget the brown sause for the bangers.

    There are disadvantages to living in a house too, you still have maintenance issues, you're stuck with whatever neighbours you get etc, people are just more used to putting up with it. I thought the canals were still a little regimented and restrictive for me personally but I can see the attraction, maybe will move to the canals when I'm to old for my current boat.
