HI Clare. Lovely to see you too great coffee by the way 😀

Thank you Trevor for subscribing. We are loving our boat and was pleased with the WW article, still learning about boating life and how to put our videos together. We will keep trying and putting out more content. thanks again Phil & Marianne

Thank you we are settling into boat life now we love the boat and the lifestyle. Phil & Marianne

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all too and a hug for Nyx. You have made the end of 2024 more enjoyable and fun. Hope to be back in a few days time (we have both been ill on the mend now) then we will see what 2025 holds for us. Thanks again and see you soon xxx

@ oh no - feel better soon & don’t bring it back with you 😝 x

@@nbspudley We hope not too. See you soon xx

Thank you will make a mental note of this 😀 still learning the ropes on this video making stuff lol. Marianne

Lol thanks for sending in 3 comments xx

Loving the comments xx

Thanks Dave & Cath. Great to see you over Christmas look forward to seeing you next year xx

Thanks Adam for watching us. See you soon xx Merry Christmas xx

Thank you for watching, we hope to get better at making our videos a learning curve. Phil & Marianne

Hi Martine 😀 Yes Phil took the lead on the video and it worked well. Glad you enjoyed our recap. Lots of love xx

Thank you those Kingfishers are sneaky little things to catch!! I lost all my footage of one on the river thames near Lechlade so was pleased to catch another one 😃. We are loving our boat too still getting used to life on water but loving it so far. Phil & Marianne

Thank you. It's all new to us hope to be able to publish something that is watchable. Slowly picking up more tips every time we do something and watching a lot of videos for help. Thanks again Phil & Marianne

We come home on a regular basis to family as it is our base. Loving the canals living the best life 😀

Thank you for commenting. It is hard getting the right content out there but like you I am getting used to the editing and now discovered the music, a game changer for us. We too are not in it for monetisation mostly for friends and family to keep in touch and see where we are travelling. Thanks again for watching us 😀

@ a pleasure

Thought it would bring in the viewers lol 😂

@ might have the opposite effect 😝

Thank you Debbie. Learning all the time with help from friends and suggestions. Enjoying putting the vlogs together and trying new things 😀

Definitely not easy, find your style and stick with it… great work.

LOL So do we 🤣

Hi Thank you not for the faint hearted if like me do not walking up steep hills 😂 and on a hot day too!! Great to hear the comments we are trying to get better at this YouTubing lark but having fun along the way. Phil & Marianne

@@CaptBadger-1 you will get there. Consinstancy is key xx

Thank you for watching our little channel. The bed is very big and very comfortable!! We decided to have cassette because you cannot rely on pump outs being readily available and at the time we had to decide there was a massive debate on compost toilets disposal facilities , to be fair we have found the cassette system works very well but have also looked at Compost and we may change in the future. As for the fridge and freezer no we don't need to run the engine to keep the batteries charged , We have a large Lithium battery bank 30Kw. In the past boats have run 12 and 24V appliances because of the limits on the inverters and lead acid batteries , we have a 5Kva inverter that's about 4.2Kw that will happily run all appliances on board. We are still to experience a full winter and we will be reporting all the running costs at 12 months, if we are not cruising I fully expect the solar to keep us fully charged . Happy to answer any further questions, we did cover some solar in another video showing the advantage of tilting our panels. We also will be covering the engine compartment and electrical cabinet soon, work in progress on the videos!! Thanks again for tuning in Phil & Marianne

@@CaptBadger-1 thanks for your comprehensive answer Phil. I'm looking to buy a boat in the next year will have a healthy budget but probably not enough for a custom new build. I like the idea of composting but with the CRT changes of rules seemed harder to dispose of the waste unless you have space to fully compost on the boat. Hopefully they'll introduce composting bins along with Elsan. I will likely moor at Cropredy you passed in your videos is a lovely marina if a bit pricey.

@@bitsandblocks7826 Hi. Cropedy is a lovely marina good facilities, maybe worth looking at the marina at Fenny Compton under new ownership nice people there now. If you have any further questions drop us a line and we are happy to answer or help. Hope you get your boat and have happy cruising, we certainly are. Phil & Marianne

@@CaptBadger-1thank you i'll check out Fenny Marina too.

HI Debbie. Thank you that was Phil doing his master pieces 🤣

Thank you so much. We had a lovely day at the Marina and hope to meet you again one day soon. Great that you are enjoying the vlogs we are trying to get better but it is all new but fun. Phil & Marianne

Thanks it's getting better, we are learning every one we do. Hopefully they are improving to watch xx

Hi It was great to speak to you too. Funny how small our world really is. Hope you get your boat one day and we can meet again.

@@CaptBadger-1 one day. One day.

Hi Thank you our boat is 57ft long, it looks longer because of the continuous colour scheme we chose on the exterior. thank you again for watching our videos

We love the boat, the builders made our dream come true. I am a massive Take That fan and had just recently seen them on tour again. Thanks again for watching us

Thank you. It is a beautiful part of the English Countryside, we had a lovely time here for a week

Thank you so much for watching our videos. This is all new to us as CC's but not boating we are loving it so far so good.

It was lovely too many places to name. Now moving towards Banbury. Both settling into boat life and loving the weather 🥰 Hope you are both well too xx

@@mariannegordon7237 we are indeed! Are you heading for Brum at all? X

@@NarrowboatNatterings we will but as yet don’t know our plans xx you will be first to know if coming your way x

Think my husband will go into more detailsoon

Thank you for your lovely comment. It's a big step to take but we are looking forward to it 😊

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much 😀

Hi. We started to document and record for family and friends so they can follow our journey. We aren’t doing this for any monetary gain or recognition. We have found other vlogs helpful on providing cruising, maintenance and other information, as well as enjoyable viewing, in our opinion. We have a hybrid boat so a little different to the norm. Hopefully provide a little light hearted look at our travels. Thanks

Thank you Annette we got there in the end ❤

Thank you Annette we got there in the end ❤❤
