- Living on a boat is not all sunshine and roses! things can and will go wrong and hopefully you'll enjoy hearing about all of the things that have gone wrong with my boat. because what is the point in things being bad in life if not to enjoy the story that comes from them later?
If your would like to see another video please take a look at this play list of all my videos: • All Narrowboat videos

My father was a mechanic, but not a very patient one. So while I usually had my vehicles in working order, I learned almost nothing from him. Now that I'm an adult, I owe almost all of my admittedly limited mechanical skills to CZcams. I buy cars that are easy to work on and pride myself on at least trying to do it myself. And you are right, you really do feel like a genius when you get it done yourself.
I just went through what for my region was the most snow accumulation between thaws in 20 years with a 200ft long gravel driveway and a snow blower that kept snapping the cable that engages the drive pulley for the blower. It would work for maybe one morning then the following day the cable would be cut all the way through. Finally figured out it was a disengaging spring buried deep in the guts of the machine that had broke.
Otherwise what normally takes me 2-3 hours to blow properly I was pretty much shoveling morning and night for three days after every snowfall just to keep the driveway open. That eureka moment when I finally figured it out was certainly worth it. Living on a boat is packed with those moments where you feel proud of yourself for solving a problem and fixing it yourself when in a previous life would have been simply calling building management and then complaining about how long it takes to fix.
Good vlog! I think as things go wrong, as long as you can keep positive, you learn from the experiences and gradually sort things out on the boat and eventually learn the way everything works. Once you understand how it all works, it becomes less scary! Hope you have a more trouble free 2017!
Hi Jasmine. You're so refreshing and honest! We've only owned our boat since early December, but already we've lurched from one crisis to the next... and none of it was our fault... but we're getting through it. Nearly dried out now... and the stove works again... but we're told that all narrowboats get wet knickers at some stage in their lives (water from the tank/water from the canal) and we're still learning our way around the boat. Good luck with your current issue with the electrics.
its fixed now! thank you for watching and good luck with you boating trials and tribulations!
This is what adventure is all about. Faced with new situations and experiences every day. Overcoming and learning is the reward. People who don't enjoy adventure or lack confidence in their abilities cope and learn should probably just live in their mothers house.
hahaha thats a strong opinion!
I once bought a 20 ft. aluminum hull ski boat at what seemed to me to be a bargain price and then proceeded to fix or replace nearly every thing on it over the next four years. Boat mechanics wouldn't come anywhere near the old motor on that thing, which had earned a rep for being temperamental and un-tunable. I discovered the the carbs were used on only that motor for that year so I replaced them with the next years carbs, which I bought in a salvage yard. The motor ran perfectly and stayed that way until I sold the boat.
I ran out of fuel on the River Trent, in the dark. Luckily I had a spare can ready. But the panic from drifting down the river when there's a weir just half a mile away...
I enjoyed this video. Bit late to the party but I'm catching up and learning while I save to buy a boat to live on. Listening to the things that went wrong it sound very similar to owning a VW campervan. Things go wrong but you can fix them yourself and you still love the van. Can't wait to have that relationship with my home too!
You guys are great..Being self reliant is totally bad ass.. really enjoyed your tales of overcoming adversity just keeping on keeping... Surely there's a metaphor for a happy life in there somewhere.. keep the fried gold coming . X
Thank you so much for these 'problem' vids. These are some of my favorite vids. Alex
oh good ill try and have more bad days ;)
Well, not on my account :D
Love your upbeat videos. We don't have longboats over here in Oregon but we live full time in our RV. Things can go so wrong, but the good thing we cannot sink if they do.
+As The Wheels Turn RV hehe longboats are vikings mines a narrowboat, it's very hard to do rv living here.:)
Having a car i built myself I really know about things going horribly wrong!!!
Often its just a process of working through what the problem could be until you find out what it is. Further every time you do sort something out that adds to your knowledge and understanding of how the thing works and that makes solving the next problem you have easier to fix. One thing I recommend though is that you or your partner should learn to mig weld because having a steel boat such a skill will come in very handy and welders are not expensive to buy
oh god that is so true! you start with the easiest and cheapest to fix and work up to the worst case scenario . so true , i would panic so hard when we first moved aboard and now I don't so much
What a great topic. I have done so much fixing in my shop. I've learned to change water heater elements and upgrade the relays that switch them, replace toilet siphons and other plumbing, cut and install shelves, fix light displays, fix the alarm system, replace equipment when they break and lots of painting. Every time something new goes wrong I feel so helpless, but afterwards I definitely feel like a bad-ass.
Christie Nel sounds like you are if you can fix all that!
It wouldn't be an Adventure with out some downs to look back on during the ups.
I love the diy stuff but am quite rubbish at it and having made several costly mistakes I just stick to very minor tasks. My latest one was taking the door handles off the kitchen cabinets so I could get a good cleaning at the base of them. I then put the handles back on with out any missing screws, broken fingers or damage to the newly cleaned cabinets. Not so much a badass as relief from not screwing that easy task up! lol
Love the channel btw, keep it up!
You are positively delightful . . . I'm going to subscribe!
Dennis Richards why thank you my lovely!
Ahh, when it goes wrong, it goes wrong! My daily life LOL! Loving the updates! Stay safe! Stay warm, the snow is coming! Warm regards. D/P
its come but not settled thankfully !
Very enjoyable videos, just subscribed ! Cool story ! Cute storyteller, too !
Hi Jasmin, enjoyed your vlog as always ... i have been boating for 30 years, i retired at 47 to live the dream to narrowboat march to october then go abroad in my motorhome for the winter months .... could write a book about my trials and tribulations on boats ... my very first one was a Dolphin cabin cruiser they used to make from plywood packing cases that aircraft engines had previously been shipped in back in the 1960's .... used to sleep in that boat with one arm dangling out the bed so if your fingers got wet you knew it had sprung another leak and it was time to start bailing it out and take it to the nearest lock to cill it and fibreglass it up! ....
So, 2 years ago i got my present boat first trip out it threw the water pump belt and my trip to the llangollen had a 2 week stop in stone while i rebuilt a cooked engine! but i wouldnt swap a minute of it because everything that goes wrong makes it all the sweeter when you are just pootling along the suns shining and everything is behaving!
wow sounds very interesting
I have stumbled across this page by accident looking into the possibility of living aboard with my two daughters. What a channel. So informative and fun as well as inspirational. Keep up the good work.
good god man you are gonna need a big boat !
Not sure I have the funds for a big boat. Luckily they are both under 5 so don't come with much baggage as such. I do think I'm going to have to be a little creative with the space saving.
they wont be 5 forever! there is a book narrow margins they have lots of kids maybe you should read it!
Will do. Thanks for the heads up.
Yep - I fully sympathise Jasmin. The first time I switched on my Webasto cabin heater it whirred and hummed, but nothing got warm. I poked around and found the header tank was empty. So, thoughtlessly, I filled it, tried again and got wet feet. There had been a reason for the empty tank, a leaking pipe. Oh well - only about six litres to mop up ;-)
SO many things Could go wrong! what can you do ?
You said it yourself : I live in a house, and these also have times where suddenly everything seems to go wrong. Probably the list of possible failures are different, but that dosn't mean there are none in a 70 year old house. And yes, you feel like a badass if you find yourself successfull at fixing it on your own :-) . The experience accumulated also helps the next time.
I could not go living on a boat for a number of reasons, but i like watching people who had the opportunity, so thanks for the videos.
well thanks!
You tell an entertaining story, even though it was uncomfortable at the time, good on ya:-) We are in a house that has a pressure pump and our "safety cut" kept turning the electricity off at the moment the water pressure drops (just when you're covered in soap), so to quickly finish the shower, get dry and respond to the emergency is very annoying. In frustration I pulled the pressure pump cover off this morning and to my dismay found 2 large tropical snails (they grow big here in Chiang Mai), along with piles of snail-poo!! Of course that was making an earth-connection causing the safety-cut to trigger and switch off the electricity mid-shower. Well I cleaned it all up, sprayed WD40 all around the connections, and touch wood it's not triggered all day. So that makes me a landlubber BADASS!!😉
dav snow haha that s a great story tho! snails shorting the shower who would have though that could be a problem !
ThisNarrowboatAdventure It was a surprise I can tell you!
Everyone who has (had) a boat knows your pain and also the forgiveness towards "her"............ the biggest fear it to have your beloved sink, I had a tinny go under water once and I wondered how it would feel looking at your home sitting on the bottom of a canal ???? I think intermittent faults are the worst as you can't track em down. Love your vids, keep em coming.
that is my nightmare! thank you, will do!
A tinny will go under a lot easier than a canal boat, you would have to be so unlucky to have a canal boat go under....................
good tips....I think when you look and see the nature around you, everything become smaller xxx
My water pump is next to the front door concealed in a fixed seat base. It has a pull-out knob on the side so I can easily switch it off when I leave the boat without having to disconnect anything.
I moved into a rural house which has spring water. In early June I lost all water. There was plenty of rain, but the holding tank was dry. We went without water for 6-8 weeks as I was looking for the spring that feeds our water. I found several places that made sense but as I was not sure what I was looking for. I had several friends come over and help me find my spring. Finally, I had one, and as he was walking on the wrong part of the hill he hollered at me as he found something. It turns out the line form the spring to the holding tank was under the trail on the hill, yes the one we walked on every time we went looking for the spring, and yes it was very wet up there also.
The problem in my case was every spring we would get heavy rains and wash the leaves into the collection tank. Now I have the water diverted around and I check it twice a year for issues.
We can all learn from our experiences.
wow that sounds very stressful!
Good honest video - thank you
I could listen to you for hours.Im subscribing.
thank you!
hi i live on a boat been there done most of that need a separate switch for your water pump so you can turn it off had to re wire most of mine wiring seems to go brittle on boats and brake still love it
we do have a separate switch for the water pump, in our fuse box.
Yup, bad things happen. In our case broken fuel pump in the engine, fresh water leaks, but what we are affraid most is hitting something with our boat seriuosly. We experienced such accident in strong wind in crowded marina. But after that you become better navigator and begin to understand your boat better. And you are right - the boat becomes SHE end you love her :-)
Hi Jasmine,
I was asked to help my neighbor launch his 42 foot cabin cruiser by Chris Craft several years ago. It was built in 1935 and was a dream cruiser. Being as I'm a truck driver he wanted me to back it down the launch ramp as he didn't have a clue how to back it up. As soon as it floated free I headed for the parking lot and after walking 1/2 a mile back to the ramp didn't see the boat yet I heard him start both engines. While standing on the floating dock waiting for the boat to appear he walked up behind me soaking wet and announced no boat ride today. When I turned around and saw him he said " it sank like a rock ". After a lot of expensive boat recovery he got it back on the trailer and after it drained out discovered why it sank.
He forgot to close the seacocks! He had three 2 inch seacocks wide open and had just reached the deepest part of the lake when the engines cut out. Then he looked down when his feet got wet and by then it was to late.
It sat on its trailer for five years before he finally sold it. Both engines had bent pushrods from water ingestion while running. I felt bad for him as he worked on it for 8 years before its first launch under his ownership.
Next time you have a problem on your boat remember it could be worse.
ooo thats so sad!
Glad u got over all those problems. Us boaters can cope with loads. We love our boats.
yes! I think its just not something thats really spoken about too!
It sounds pretty much like having any boat, so get used to it. :-)
Hardly any things going horribly wrong. When the exhaust cooler rust throw so you get salt water on the cylinder-tops and is sinking rapidly, then thing have gone badly wrong, but still not horribly. (This happens quite often).
Have you ever had an old house or an old car (or two, so one is working, hopefully)?
Sail Life tipped about a book by Nigel Calder "Boatowner's mechanical and electrical manual" I borrowed 3rd ed from the library but 4th is out. It is a very good and informative book.
Great episode Jas. Cheers
thanks!
I guess that is something we do not get to see a lot of in the narrow boat videos but they do as you say happen. Great video all the same.
usally you would forget to record because it takes all your focus up!
Lovely ... I’m going to subscribe now.
Typically my Hunter 37’ sloop prop walks to the port. After finishing lunch with my wife and another couple we guys got onto the Hunter and started backing away from the restaurant dock. I felt a clunk! The sloop started circling backwards to starboard and I couldn’t put the engine forward. Both the wheel chain (steering) and the shift linkage had snapped at the same time. My buddy’s wife said to my wife “What’s he doing?” “I don’t know” was her reply. We drifted out of the C&D Canal channel, I threw out a hook and waited for TowBoatUS. After 2 hours, when the tow started to drag us through the water I get a text from my wife. “Look to your starboard.” There sat the two girls, lapping up ice cream cones. I have since made all repairs and she is sea worthy again.
thats sounds a nightmare!
First night aboard I spent replacing the throttle while a thunderstorm took place! Loads of other things but YES we are total badasses.
But did you CRANK It? lol :)
Oh I was cranking it and couldn't stop! Kept crashing into lock gates as I couldnt go back into reverse!
Robbie Cumming oh that sounds very stressful! when we rescued a boat on fire I was bricking it but my partner was so excited I hope you enjoyed the excitement of it all! p.s. CRANK IT

it pays to get some books and learn basic electricity, and plumbing, and mechanics, ( and navigation and seamanship) this will accelerate your ability to actually be independent. if you make reading some of the wonderful books written by yachtsmen particularly single handers ... and here I recommend the classics written between 1920 and perhaps 1960... you will pick up much of the wisdom and practical knowledge that makes living on a boat practical. Do consider some basic sail boat items like foot and hand operated water pumps.. which almost always work and never flood your boat or bed, keroscene ( paraffin) lamps.. which work when there is no electricity, also at least one propane lamp ( near the cooker) which will also always work if you have gas. There should be a couple of high capacity manual bilge pumps.. like the Edson. Do have a simple battery operated bilge alarm ( float switch , dry cell battery, and a buzzer) to alert you if your stern bearing seal leaks and is flooding the boat. Remember propane is heavier than air.. will fill the bilges and blow you up.. so have few connections, test them with soapy water regularly, and turn off the main valve when you are not cooking.
Personally, when I finally get on the canals; - I will have a tiny (perhaps amphibious) tugboat sort of craft and a growing fleet of simple barges... - some of these will even be just floating gardens (for the summer season)... - I will have Generators, Grinders, Drills, Welders... - I envisage good times ahead!
i like your vision! :)
Boat owners here in the US have a funny saying ... "A boat is a big hole in the water, into which you pour money" I agree that it is a great feeling when you fix something yourself.
“When something goes wrong, you can’t hold it against your boat, she loves you but she’s not perfect.” I’ll try to remember that next time my car breaks down. 😊
:) hehe
FWIW,, I find the sound of your voice and your accent very pleasing. You even make "bad-ass" sound classy. Nice job.
where are you from?
ThisNarrowboatAdventure
As you probably imagined, the States.
Here there's no exact equivelent to the canalboat such as what you live on. The closest would be certain types of houseboats, and even those would be based less on function than economics. I know there are American historical canal boats, and canal barges, but no modern boats of the same design as the U.K. canal boat.
Bob G how could I have known you where from the us , where about? you have some lovely boats in new Orleans with big wheels
ThisNarrowboatAdventure
Northern California. I love the romance of the paddleboats, and I spent a wonderful long weekend with a girl on one, but the paddlewheels aren't a way of life. I knew of a paddlewheel based in the CA capitol - Sacramento - but the last time I saw it it was looking kind of seedy.
I've promised myself that if I ever struck it big - or married a woman with money - I was going to have "Spend a summer on an English canal boat" as part of my bucket list. Just long enough to enjoy the experience but not long enough for you guys to find a reason to hate me.
as they guy whom all people seem to call when things go wrong, yes i have seen so many problems that it seems when nothing is broken im getting quite nervous and jittery. I know so many things can go all pear shaped all at once that has become something on an expectation.
Cute. Horribly, expensively wrong. Been there a few times, mainly with vehicles.
I live in United States in a house ashore, when we lose electricity in a power outage we lose heat or cooling and water too. We have a well for a water source. And yes you feel great when you learn to deal with the problem and over come the problem and fix it.
a well! that is soo cool!
A lot of things can go wrong on shore so don`t worry about it too much.I`m sure oy will get throught it all.
Hi Jasmine - love that scarf, it looks so snugly - did you knit it yourself?
cathryn bagley no one of my best friends did :)
Hi, we have just moved onto our narrowboat on the LDN canals. The floor felt damp and we found a leak from a radiator behind the sofa. We stopped the leak but now the wooden floor is all wet. We keep having really big fires to warm up the boat and try and dry it out. Any other tips of how to get it dry?
ecofan, and USB fans , and put rice in tights, If you have 240V a dehumidifier (might be worth getting a generator for it.
Amazing thanks! Do you think it would take long to dry out with a dehumidifier?
I think It would be quicker than just a fire
My boat water had lots of air bubbles for ages. After thinking something is wrong but what the hell is it i found the pump was sucking in air but letting out the same volume of water. Pump changed mopping done....pub was calling.
I know that feeling
If I wanted to buy a little two or four man canal cruiser, what would the approx. cost to keep it on a canal? I don't want to live on the canal, just jump on in the summer for day trips. Some little boats range from £1500 to £3000 on ebay and they look ok, am I being stupid and naive and it actually costs you a fortune? Hope not as I'm getting on a bit and I've always wanted to spend time with the better arf on the canals and rivers, before we kick the bucket :)
JacobiteJake if you are just thinking for holidays I would think hiring would be better and you could go to differnt canal systems and explore more. you can search for licence fees online and the mooring fees for the rest of the year plus up keep would cost far more than renting one for the holidays!
Had the power mistake happen think every boater at some point will be enjoying the evening then no power everything goes out still fun and something to laugh about.
Had a cooker that I guy before me had modified to have smaller gas nozzles to help with cooking or something but I was new to narrowboating so didn't know anything about it so trusting him and one night went to cook dinner and singed my eyes 😂
oh goodness that's a bit scary!
very first afternoon on my very first boat filling the water tank resulted in filling the entire hull with water (correction - now realise this is misleading - not the entire 'hull' that would have sunk the boat - the entire bilge up to and through the floor. Squelching about the cabin in oily water until the bilge pump took over. boat was new to me and the bilge pump/electrics etc were still shut off). the tank had been moved to the back of the boat but the old filler cap left in situ (I should have used the filler cap at the back of the boat)! such fun - NOT!!
The first time I saw you I said to myself "That girl is a badass!!" LOL
rbagrizzly that makes me very happy
Jasmine What a lovely video, Be sure you are a lovely bad arse! Hope you will be videoing for so many more years, Could you see yourself being a parent on the canal? Cheers Xxx
I'm getting the strong feeling that narrowboats are much like our old land rovers.... an ongoing project!
Matt Allen yea just like that!
How does one fit in work when having to move every 14 days? Any advice on this?
lisa o sullivan what part of it seems hard to you? finding the time to move ? finding your way to work from a new place? or something else?
I currently do not love on a barge...yet. I am at the just looking stage and considering all options. With the current changes with regards to mooring I was just wondering how people manage work when having to move on every two weeks.
lisa o sullivan the rules have always been to move ever 14 days , but it's more the range that's being enforced more as I understand it. I usally get a bus or cyle or other pi lic transport to work and rely on Google maps for directions.
What are the CRT like with people who've broken down and are waiting for repairs before moving on? I've heard some horror stories that the CRT are actually quite evil lol
I don't really like to talk about CRT , I don't have much experience as we are never broken down all that long, when we have needed to over stay a day or two or for bad weather we just give a ring and explain and its not been an issue but we also do alot of miles every year. My only tip is speak to them when you know you'll need to over stay
R u still on the water?
I've been researching, through youtube, all the nasty things that can go wrong, for when I get my boat in a few year's time.
Sorry to hear you've had some crappy times, but I suppose the more you know what can go wrong, the more you may be able to prepare for it?
So, you have added to my 'things to think about' but it's in a good way :-)
Hope you have a wonderful year and don't have too many things that go wrong!
Also, a 'heads up' I have a friend in the met office and we're about to get a very cold spell, so you might get frozen in for a couple of weeks, it might be prudent to get a get a few bags of coal, water, toilets etc. This will be the coldest spell of the winter, and maybe the coldest for 5 years.
its funny there have been a few other things i remembered after filming this too, hahaha.
Yes being prepared and not panicking is the key. oh gosh, whens this weather going to hit?
Drobium77 always a joy to watch
you ☺keep up the fantastic vlogs x
south bucks fabrications bucks uk well thank you glad you enjoyed it
wednesday onwards. Not sure about snow atm, although Sunday is looking possible. As regards frosts, between -3 and -6'c
My Goodness Jasmin. Wish I were near to You Guys when things went wrong. I have built many Homes and a few Boats as well as Cars. Kind of Handy as My Bride would attest to. An easy fix to No Water due to a Power outage is to fit an Air Fitting into Your water tank. Power out simply pump some air into the tank and Ya have water. Rather inexpensive / Creative Fix. Be Well Your Alaskan Friends.
we have always had a great support team thankfully!
I've owned 5 boats in my life (between 8 and 19 feet), they all had something that needed looking after.
bullthrush they are temprimental creatures
May it all go horribly right from now on. Best to you.
don't say that!
OK... how about... I hope that it gets really good! :)
THANKS!
As well as being totally BAD ASS 5 out of 5 :D we have a master switch (like a light switch, next to the galley sink) which kills the water pump. No shower and both sinks / toilet dead. So it's like turning off the lights when you go ashore.
Also, this has inspired a vlog. Back on the water next week :D
MrDanSouth ID love some those switches
It's good peace of mind, and if everyone knows where it is, you can quickly stop everything! I already did a quick interior vlog of the boat, i'll do another with the things like this and the different water systems you can have.
After going through 11 alternator belts in 4 months I worked out my pulleys weren't aligned. I'm pretty sure I could change a belt on a beta engine in poor light and freezing weather faster than anyone ! Bad assss....
Yea you are!
Hi. Are you still posting in 2023, or are you not narrowboating anymore
nice talk, Jasmin, couldn't stop looking at your eyes which seem to go really big at times
the tessellater, she should get her Thyroid checked.
Being dangled over the side by your legs to paint the boat is physical abuse!
Jasmine... the cutest badass out there!
thank you! i like that title
I can not wait to retire get my boat and be a canal bad-ass lol. ;)
adrianuwant3 why are you waiting?
I could buy one now but i am saving so i will have more to choose from in the future.
Why did you think the shower wasn't working properly?
Weeponybjorn hadn't turned the nob all the way round
As you go along you will find a boat is a hole in the water you pour money into. ;-) With a lot of fun along the way.
we are lucky so far not too many expensive problems.
BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand $$$
that old chestnut
Long time no see.
Hi Bad-ASS let me say you aint seen nothing yet! as tales go there as long usually as the narrowboat, 1 yr ha! I've been longer on one wave.......lol
I love how an English girl says "so." And can't. And just about everything else.
How do you keep dry while cruising. On hiring a narrowboat i found that any jacket umbrella combo just left me soaked to the skin.i was certainly unprepared for a whole day in the rain.
you just get wet (sleeves at the very least) and when you get there get changed pop the fire on and have a cup of tea. ill let you know if i find any holy grail waterproofs!
I have a proper sailing Jacket with a hood , waterproof overtrousers and wear snow boots as they are fully waterproof and have amazing grip , though most canals i keep my pram hood canopy up as i have a cruiser stern deck so only wrap up to go out to do the locks
*Awkwardly wrong.
When things in boating go horribly horribly wrong, then I would assume you're probably more along the lines of talking about salvage options, or possibly how much the hull is worth as scrap.
Maybe sometimes you ahould put your camera on when troubles are and show us what happended. And how you fixe it.
will do its hard to remeber cos usally you are focused on what ever in going wrong i did show some of the engine troubles we had in the trip down and us being towed ! does that count?
ThisNarrowboatAdventure I guess for some.
In fact, I don't live in a narrowboat. I don't know anythings.
I have to learn.
About your video, it's ccool. But you speak without show.
This is what I mean.
But you're right on one stuff. When something go wrong, you are focus on it.
Can you let me know,where did the name,gonegooglers, if spelt right, originated from,what is the true meaning behind this
Fascinating terminology,why is it directed at people on the canal footpath,my novice theory,is because they do not own a
Narrowboat themselves,
I cant as I dont know!
it is just for people who like boats but dont have them
It's nice to be nice🤔🇬🇧
Thought this video was about my marriage......
She is so cute
ThankYou!
"altinator". Really? Are we living in an altinative reality now? Is there no altinative for that?
appirintly not
Thank god I can call a plumber.
haha we could have called a boat plumber, we didnt need to it was just a juble clip but drying it out was a pain in the butt!
She´s cute!!
thank you :)
I'll be causing a trail of damage, destruction and dismay in a few months. I hope I can laugh about these events in years to come!
Edward Mendelson I always try and think at least it will make a good story
mine sank n then canal n river trust stole it. mayfly 11 msg me if anyone sees it.. 29ft 1985 dawnvraft canin cruiser as yhey wo t tell md wer it is.
A boat is a hole in the water that you fill with money.
thats what they say
but who are they ?
love your videos you little beauty x
Your very funny
later but broken mounting brackets and Water leaks see all the problems i have my boat same boats have Skin Fittings on bottom for pick up water for toilet and cooling down engine and gear box and exhaust under water line if leaks sinking which cooling system do you have on you boat CANAL BOAT HAVE FLAT BOTTOM SO WORK ON YOU BOAT WHY YOU BEACH PICK NICE SPOT MAKE SURE HAVE ENOUGH WATER ON NEXT HIGH TIDE SO GET OUT
we dont have kind of toilet or engine!
hi and good video and I did had things gone wrong with my car and I fix my car myself and I like I fix me ham radio gear myself and I feel good and if sometimes I have to make my own parts of tools and have good a pot of tea
my uncle is into ham radio its very cool! nothing like a DIY!!
sweet and ham and hf radio is good and yep sounds good and have good day or night and have a good cup of tea to
thank you kevin I will!
sweet sounds good and im good and ive had a good and and night and and I think it time for a cup tea
hi and and im good and christmas is just around the corner
Crazy eyes.
Shes got crazy eyes!
your not the 1st to say it and im certain your wont be the last!
Horribly wrong? You mean you missed tea time or floated on to the opposite bank? Horribly wrong is losing power in open water with high wind and waves pushing you into a jetty. Respectfully Get your self a real perspective.
that has happened to us actually.... may have been after i filmed this one though!
maybe you would enjoy a sailing channel more than my little narrowboat channel, can i recomend sailing la vagabond , one of my favorites
@@ThisNarrowboatAdventure first I'd like to apologize if my remarks sounded too cynical or sarcastic I meant no disrespect. I'm planning a family trip to the Foxton locks area this Aug and plan on hiring a narrow boat. I'm researching narrow boat navigation and protocols. I was hoping and thinking that your video would provide a valuable lesson. I was a little disappointed. It was a nice video though.
That lady lovely eyes
sounds like you need to make friends with a mechanic lol
