I lovw the way you share as you go along... it makes me feel like I am on the boat with you and were crusing together.... and I like that... not a lot of canned music going all the time. Just two people crusing.... thanks for inviting me to go along with you...
Lovely little boat Small but bigger than most studio flats affordable in London. I have been saving for a boat for a few years now, have to experience it before I'm too old 52 this year but should be able to afford a similar size boat to yours in 2 or 3 years I love small cosy spaces Your boat is perfect
@@NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle absolutely Sir I hate the idea of owing money , never had a debt in my life Look forward to following your updates nice to learn from others experience
Thank you for the tour. You have a super home. Among other features, I like how you’ve worked out how to seat quite a few people for a meal, or perhaps board games.
Thanks for the tour of the inside of your boat, it's very lovely indeed. Your videos are always good- very entertaining. Really appreciate all your effort!
You have a very beautiful boat. No wonder you fell in love with her. Compared to much larger vessels, she looks cosy and snug and you seem to have settled in nicely, and she has everything you need. Thank you for letting us have a look inside and I am sure there are a lot of people very envious! Take care and stay safe.
Thanks, I loved the tour, nice and simple the way that I prefer it. BTW, I got rid of my cable tv 2 years ago and don't miss it at all, the internet fills all my needs and more.
Thanks for showing us around, it’s a bit personal ,so much appreciated Vince. Aitch is a lovely well fitted out boat, I would love to have one the same some time.
Hi Vince what a wonderful Cosy home you have everything you need rather than everything you want isn't always the answer if you have everything you need your a rich and grateful Human being so I hope you enjoy your floating home , and have every Happiness and I have noticed that you are a very considerate sailor and you care for your fellow boaters because in the go with the flow world we know considering one another days seem to be few and far between. Happy Sailing.
Another great video!! Looks very comfy!! Love all of your vlogs, very informative and humorous..... your wireless dungle thing looks to be in a perfect spot 👌 😋 Cheers
Thanks Vince ,enjoyed the interesting tour.Enjoyed reading the positive comments too. Spring is around the corner and you will be on your way again ,I look forward to the next episode.
Morning Vince.. Thanks for look around, see you got the all important coffee... ☕ Aitch seems perfectly sized and laid out for you. Hope your keeping well. Stay safe and warm.. Kath x
Watched the vid Vince and joined you in the 1st coffee of my day, you keep your boat nice and ship shape, I bet that stove gets a lot of use this time of the year, its 6am here and 20deg so the fan will be coming on soon. I'd buy a bit more grub in case something happens and you can't shop. One item I did have on my boat was plastic clothes bags that I sucked the air out of with a small reverse hand pump. They stopped clothes and bedding getting the smell and were not too expensive, as they squished every thing down more could be got into the storage space.
I tried to answer your last comment, I wasn't being rude you tube was playing up! Yes the stove has been getting plenty of use. We've had snow and ice up until the last couple of days. And yes I might have to invest in them bags, enjoy your coffee, speak on the next one Vin!
Thanks Vince, that looks a very comfortable boat. It reminded me of the caravan we had. Mind you, you went one better 😂 we only had a manual flush 😁. Also we only had a hob, we could have put in a oven but would have lost a cupboard perhaps eventually we may have put one in. I enjoyed this look around with you. Keep safe and warm. Lockdown won't last forever. Look forward to seeing your next vlog. Love Babs XXX
As you can see, its not a showboat inside (I'd only mess it up in a day) but it has all I need, and is nice and cozy. You're right about its similar to a caravan. Konrad wanted to see inside so I hope he watched it! look after yourself and speak on the next one love Vin xxx
The kitchen and little dinette is oerfect use of space. Fits my vision. I would make a compact wet room bath. As compact as I could make it!! Every spare inch of space is important!
Well I was thinking that a 60 footer with this kind of layout would give you a second bunk room, or another 10ft of kitchen/diner/loungs area - this works about the best I have seen in terms of layout tho ! Thanks for the viewing !
Cheers Vince .. enjoyed the vid. I watched the film Green Street last night.. you might like that one if you've not seen it already. All about the West Ham and Millwall firms and their rivalry.
Great tour, I like the reverse layout. She’s the same length as my narrowboat, I think it’s just right. Can I recommend that you use Ecover products - washing up liquid and toilet cleaner, the wild life will love you for it. There’s no rotten chemicals in them. Also friendly soap for shaving, hair (not so much of a worry with your barnet!) and body wash. The soap is available online (only naturals) & Ecover from Sainsbury’s or Tesco. All the best.
Watching you from Adelaide South Australia - green with envy - 25 years in the Navy and I’ve done 5 or 6 holidays including the Warwickshire ring a couple times - keep the work
Great tour of Aitch, rather reminds me of the camper trailer we used to have. Everything is so compact and space is well made use of. Bet you can't wait till lockdown ends and you can get out on the canals again. Stay warm and cozy.
Thanks Linda. Yes is is a bit like a Caravan inside (I think that's what a camper trailer is) and yes I can't wait for all this to end. Hope you are well Vin x
Another good 1 matey.....Looks nice and cosy in there .....The story about "Jack" bought a lump ...bless him.....Can't wait till you get cruising again and get into some dramas dramerz and more drama's ...All the best "COYI" lol
next time I visit, I expect to see you in that Tie Vince, and get a grand tour as well! 😂 I feel for you being stuck there, but at least you've got shops, last mooring was a bit remote. Seeing your map, do you wish you had turned right at Broxbourne, and gone up towards London? Take care, see you soon.
I've gone from one extreme to the other! No I'm glad I turned left or I would have missed all that lovely scenery. Hopefully I will be able to work my way down there after lockdown!
Hi Vince, glad to see you survived the freeze🥶. Try putting a panel that slides backwards halfway up the inside of the drawer. This will double the storage in the drawer. I’m a kitchen/ bedroom fitter done this numerous times in houses sorry I can’t put up a diagram
When I went on a narrow boat holiday/experience with “black prince” the boat was well ventilated - vents on the front doors and the cowl/vent things in the roof, the 2X shower/toilet had a fan+light in the shower cubicle, the galley had a fan in one of the roof vents and the picture windows were openable, and had diesel central heating, 🤨 - don’t know how humidity could be a problem in a narrow boat?
Hi Vince, them steps look lethal lol, just a thought would it be worth making a new set with wider treads that extend out a bit more? it looks like your ones can be removed? if its not easy to to remove and refit maybe if they was fixed using something like an Offset Fixing Bracket so they could just be dropped into the slots and lifted out to get quick access, though you might need a new bin lol, hope you are keeping well and its good to see inside Aitch and hopefully it wont be long before you are cruising again
Hello Si, I turn around and go up and down them as if I am climbing a ladder nowadays! So I got used to them eventually. Fingers crossed about the moving, I'm looking forward to that! All the best Vin.
I know there are wider boats, but has anybody thought of making bump-outs in these boats for when you are static - you could easily add an extra 2 ft in a lounge area for comfort. I don't know what the rules are for these things - but the designs are all so much the same. Just my imagination getting the better of me !
Great tour Vince, boat looking good and very comfy. Loved the pic of Jack your best friend, must get another, will be good company for you on your journeys
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully the lockdown will end soon and you’ll be able to get on the move again. Just out of interest how does your healthcare work if you have no permanent address. e.g. you need to see a G.P. or how do you get your invitation for the COVID vaccination?
People create Problems. I was employed by Irish Rail. When people bought apartments next to the Depot. Trains run 16 hour days. With shunting for the remaining 4. They complained that the DMU's were lelf running unnecessarily. But the Fitter/Driver would have to walk the length off the 8 car set both sides checking for possible faults. Moral. Dont by houses/ Apartments next to Noisy industries/Farms and then complain about the odors 😂 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Lovely little boat
Small but bigger than most studio flats affordable in London.
I have been saving for a boat for a few years now, have to experience it before I'm too old
52 this year but should be able to afford a similar size boat to yours in 2 or 3 years
I love small cosy spaces
Your boat is perfect
Good luck with the boat Anthony! Saving up is the best way to do it, in my opinion (better than borrowing)
