Yes I do have a full-time job, that’s why it takes me so long to make these videos. I think I need to explain this in one of the videos as it looks like I spend my entire life moving the boat and feeding ducks!
@@bettyonaboat Please do make a video explaining this Betty. I'm sure many people think you're a lady of leisure with no other responsibilities, other than your boat.
What I really enjoy about you videos is the lack of contrived and totally unecessary dramas that seem to occur frequently on other channels of all kinds. Nice and peaceful relaxed cruising with very a informative commentary. 😊
I also agree. Please do not become the "Below Deck" of the canal vlogs. 😉 I really enjoyed the light falling rain and passing countryside with the music you selected.
I've followed a number of canal boating channels over the years, and all of them I have unsubbed from or lost interest in, so much that I had decided I was done with canal videos. Then a few years later along came Betty and this is by far the best channel of the lot, and I include many much bigger more popular channels in that list. None of the others present in quite the way Betty does, and many of them would not be able to either.
Hi Betty, you are a welcomed addition to my You Tube watch list. At 79-years-age I do enjoy seeing new things. I watch from USA, East Coast of Virginia.😊
Love your Chanel photography is brilliant. I am a 75 year old brit born in the Guildford Surrey area. I moved to the US in 1979 and live 30 miles west of Seattle Washington. I spend most of evenings on RUclips and the Brits are my life line . As an old guy my hearing is failing and I am not alone. Most of the RUclips shows we watch use clip-on mices that do a good job of dealing with engine and wind noise. We wish you well.
I used to watch Canal Boat Diaries but then you popped up on my feed somehow. On a rain soaked day I binge watched your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them.
После просмотра первого видео другие уже трудно представить без этой очаровательной девушки. Несмотря на множество красивых мест, мостов, шлюзов. Betty, спасибо за прекрасные видео, продолжай радовать посетителей своего канала.
What a beautiful, gentle, peaceful video. I also so appreciate that you choose music that fits the scenery and pace of the lifestyle. You also have a voice and manner that matches the lifestyle and pace of the video. Thank you for taking us with you!
I stumbled onto your channel and liked it so much I subscribed so I could go back and watch them all. Now I'm caught up and waiting for a new one. From Indiana.
Betty, your videos make me wish we still had our canal system here in Ohio USA. They have been gone for quite some time now. Love your videos! Dreams of a simpler life.
I very much am enjoying your adventure. Having lived aboard a sailboat on the Pacific Ocean, I know of getting water, dumping tanks, and getting fuel. Canals are quite different, very interesting. Thank you for sharing your travels.
@@bettyonaboat I watched the first few minutes and then had to pause to wait for my wife so we can watch you together, and enjoy the lovely, peaceful, beautiful vibe. Of course we will love it Betty, really, we feel lucky to have found you.
As a sailboat owner I tried filming myself and discovered even on my calmest day it still looks like a frantic whirlwind with lots of swearing. Will leave the filming life to the pro's like Betty here.
I’ve no idea why this channel came on our feeds but we’re spending the night in our camper watching the whole series of videos, we’re loving your content and how honest and down to earth you are ❤ subscribed now take care!
Your vids are just so bucolic. I just sink into the landscape and slow travel and relax; you getting closer to my home ground in Wolverhampton just makes it all the more idyllic. Do keep it up!
Glad I found your channel. I’ve been following the work on my local canal restoration for the past few years. Keep up the wonderful work, it’s so relaxing
Hi Betty 👋😃 I have to commend you, your style of vlogging is very refreshing. I have followed a great number of narrowboat channels on and off when time has allowed - ever since the very first ones started to show up here in 2011. I am delighted the YT algorithm sent your Channel my way. I'll enjoy having a few binge sessions to catch up on your adventures over last 6 months 👌😉
Your the most genuine person on youtube love watching your tranquil videos !! Hope your Dad is recovering well and all the family are good !! take care
Thanks for uploading a longer video Betty, really nice to share a day in your life, I was impressed with you arranging to have the Train pass by as you were filming and how you got the Heron to pose on the side of the Canal, well done, 😲, looking forward to the next Video.
I definitely arranged for the train to go past at that specific time and it wasn’t coincidence at all! The heron did a rubbish job of posing and kept flying off so I didn’t pay him.
Well done Betty. Your videos have come as a welcome relaxation with so much drama being pushed on RUclips now.😁👍 I am now in the process of binge watching all the rest of your videos from here in Queensland, Australia. Don’t fuss yourself with the self conscious worry of other people seeing you talking. I was the same when I started making my own videos of what keeps me busy around my property and area. They probably think that “There goes another millionaire RUclipsr producing another hit film!🤪🏆”
Lets all spread the word about this really laid back and easy to watch Lady, and get her to at least 50'000 subs before Xmas..., thus getting her nearer to "just moving the boat and feeding ducks" (her words), as a full-time job. I know, I for one would love a Betty floating the canals of Britain, and exploring the areas where she moors up, with a bit of the history for us from each stop she makes. Would it not also be interesting to know how Narrow boat life in winter is? Actually, the more I think about all the possibilites here, the more I think i'd also enjoy this kind of life as well. Thxs for all your work, you're doing on these vids 4 us.
Well said 👍 12 videos in & 20,000 subscribers. 10,000 views on this video in only 12hours. 250,000 views on one of her videos. Betty is smashing it & in the most natural & sincere way possible. She said she's had hard times in the past...Well i'd say all that's behind her & she deserves all the success she desires.
With the recognition you are getting, a star is born Betty! lol. glad your dad is getting better now and please post when you can. Good job on the video.
Thank you for another calming 20 min on the wonderful British waterways. I'm from Australia but had a number of canal trips when I lived in Shropshire back in the 70's. Your logs bring back great memories.
G'Day Betty, such a lovely longer vlog. Thanks for letting us into your world. Never share too many details about your personal life. Some folk, like you're experiencing, will use it in other mediums as fake profiles. This vlog had just the right amount of detail about your old job and boyfriend. You need to share no more than the basics. Well done. If you think personal info may help someone like your Dads experience with Cancer that's yours to make. Keep up the great vlog. I love adventuring with you. Cheers.
Yes I’m finding it a bit of a difficult balance as I’m generally quite an open person, but I’m wary of putting too much personal information on the internet!
Ah the Staffordshire & Worcestershire canal. As a native from Wolvo (I used to live just off Newhampton road) I spent much time cycling both north and south up and down the canal. It was just a short hop down to Newbridge to get on the canal and then go up the 21 locks. Even funnier I live in Market Drayton on the Shropshire Union and pass through Newport on the way to work every day on the A41. I haven't been along these sections of canal since I left Wolvo.
Betty. thank you again for sharing, its as if we are brought along like family to share the trip. No unnecessary dialogue just simple direct comment of how and why you do things. 🌹
I did quite a bit of boating earlier. Mostly in the north of the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Motor- and sailing boats. This brings a lot of beautiful memories. I love the pace of boat living. Thank you very much for sharing. Greetings 👋, TW.
I'm on crutches for a few months. Making using my boat on the Leeds and Liverpool canal almost impossible. My spirits are very low at the moment. I would like to thank you for raising them with your lovely and genuine videos.
Your camerawork is becoming really professional, i liked the shot of your face with the camera on the lock gate 207-215, very pro !! PS .Getting that train in the shot was really good !
Been with you since the start. This was another delightful video and I'm sure they bring peace and good feelings to many. Your videos are very natural and personable to watch. Everything looks so lovely and green too. Probably the wet summer we've had. Thank you for this upload and best wishes.
So one of your videos popped up on my feed today, I watched it and boom, I've just binged watched all your videos. You have something very special to offer, very natural and a little bit quirky, just being yourself. Loved it obviously and can't wait for the next video. Don't forget to tell us how you fit boating and work together. I live just up from Great Haywood junction btw. 👍
Another relaxing video from you and Little One. I love the Staffs and Worcester canal......it is very pretty. You are so natural and your descriptions and explanations are excellent for any non-boaters watching. I look forward to seeing your videos appear in my notifications. Happy travels x
Thank you Caroline, it’s nice to know the descriptions and explanations are appreciated by non-boaters! 😀 I hope you enjoy watching more of my travels!
What a lovely typical Betty comment 'I actually forget that people watch the videos' 🥰. I've been following you since your first video and as a former barge owner in The Netherlands, I really enjoy them.
I just discovered your videos. Your relaxed style and straightforward narration makes them really fun and enjoyable to watch. I particularly find your unique style of leaning into the camera each time you have something to say. I know it’s because you are closer to the mic, but even if it wasn’t necessary, it makes your videos different in a pleasant way.
Thanks for saying this because a few people have told me to stop leaning in to the camera! I just want to make sure people can hear me over the engine. I tried using a wireless mic but the sound wasn’t as good.
@@bettyonaboat Don't listen to them. Because it is uniquely you and helps you stand out. It comes across like a good frined leaning in during a concert to say something so they know you can hear. It makes it feel personal, like you're talking just to me. Even if you upgrade to an electric motor, keep leaning in. Cheers from California
I'm very happy your father is doing well, I myself recently got out of the hospital after a massive infection and a stroke that it caused along with kidney failure but I beat the infection and kidneys are improving. The hardest part for me was my son taking time off from school to help me which he insisted upon doing. I really appreciate him and I am very sure yours appreciates you.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Nice too see stuff from your childhood, hope most of the memories are pleasant ones. Keep up the good work. Live confidently and peacefully
Thank you Betty, such a wonderful thing to see a video pop up. I hope things are good? Thank you for letting us join you on that trip (with obstacles) that truly helped me so very much. You are a star. I look forward to the next one.
I really enjoy your videos. I watch them when I need to be calm. They have a soothing quality. Plus, it's great to see our beautiful English countryside from a different perspective. Keep filming and posting if you can. Kind regards, Glyn
Yet another gem from you Betty. Everythings lovely about your VLOGS. You talking, the scenery and the music. And i hope things are going well for your dad..Best wishes🙂
Another beautiful video Betty!!absolutely stunning views. The music you play to accompany your videos is spot on👍. You make driving your boat look easy,and I love your little facial expressions if something goes a little bit wrong 😄. Keep your videos coming young lady x
I don’t know anything about canal boats but your video popped up and I really enjoyed it, nice to hear your Black Country accent. I live down the road from Bratch Locks and always walk along and sit by the canal. Me and a few friends always walk from the Lock Inn in Wolverley and go to every pub along the canal until we get into Wombourne and back into Wolverhampton. All the best 👍
I remember Bratch Locks from when I was a teenager and used to cycle along the canal. I’ll have to look out for the pubs as I don’t remember those. I’m glad you enjoyed watching! 😀
Great Video. The guy in the permanent moorings who watches your videos - Maybe you could have done a little interview with him and featured it on this video (that's if he was game of course). Very nice video. Wonderful to watch on a Sunday evening. All the best. Terry Miles
We did have a longer chat but I cut it out as I realised I didn’t have his permission to include it. I’m never sure whether or not to include people on other boats as they might not realise they’re being filmed!
@@bettyonaboat Hi Betty. Well in my experience (as a RUclipsr), I find that if you ask people - 'Is it alright to feature this little chat on my RUclips Channel' - Nine times out of ten, people absolutely love to be on a RUclips video, especially someone who they already follow and respect and I reckon watchers / subscribers of your amazing channel, in my view would really like and be interested hugely to see other narrow boat folks stories - just a thought. Terry
Hello Betty, once again you have brought peace and calm to the day after a harrowing and busy weekend. Your choice of music to accompany your narrative really set the tone for bringing me into the work week. Enjoyable, describes your video and seeing them is a relief from the hustle that awaits me. Looking forward to your next. Thanks again.
This seems so idealic a life, do you still have a job to go to daily? or do you simply just boat about?
Yes I do have a full-time job, that’s why it takes me so long to make these videos. I think I need to explain this in one of the videos as it looks like I spend my entire life moving the boat and feeding ducks!
@@bettyonaboat
Please do make a video explaining this Betty. I'm sure many people think you're a lady of leisure with no other responsibilities, other than your boat.
If only I were a lady of leisure! 😂 I think I will explain it.
@@bettyonaboat Then that makes these videos even more impressive, Looking forward to the video explaining the day in the life.
Lovely video and update
Your videos are without a doubt the most peaceful, calming, feel good videos on RUclips. I wouldn’t change a thing about them.
Thank you! 😊
💯
Hmm I'd recommend Wild Beare, she's awesome, no criticism of Betty though, she's great.
I agree, they're very peaceful, and the music as well.
Couldn't have put it better myself @dirkstruan1789
Your intros aren't awkward, they're genuine and endearing. :)
Thankyou Betty for letting us ride along with you, you have a great personality.
Thank you, that’s very kind!
Love watching your videos- you are so relaxed and a natural.....keep them coming Betty. From an Aussie living in California
Thank you and hello from England!
What I really enjoy about you videos is the lack of contrived and totally unecessary dramas that seem to occur frequently on other channels of all kinds. Nice and peaceful relaxed cruising with very a informative commentary. 😊
Thank you, let’s hope there aren’t any dramas for my sake!
I have to second that - always like canal or countryside vlogs, but some seem to have too much emphasis on their points of view
I also agree. Please do not become the "Below Deck" of the canal vlogs. 😉 I really enjoyed the light falling rain and passing countryside with the music you selected.
Agree, She is herself and not pretending to be more, Love her videos

Hi William smith did you ever meet the Walton family?
Love your Chanel photography is brilliant. I am a 75 year old brit born in the Guildford Surrey area. I moved to the US in 1979 and live 30 miles west of Seattle Washington.

Yes I’m looking into getting a microphone! I’m just using my phone for filming at the moment.
2:37 "I always forget that people watch the videos."
YOU ARE SO DANG ADORBABLE!
She just makes me want to cuddle her, respectfully of course...
A lovely. gentle video with music to match.....real quality.... Safe journeys Betty
I used to watch Canal Boat Diaries but then you popped up on my feed somehow.
On a rain soaked day I binge watched your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy my future videos too!

Thanks for watching!
So good to see you again, Captain Betty, I hope your dad continues to do well.
Thank you, he’s doing OK so far!
I came across these vlogs after researching a London to Burnley canal bike packing trip.
So relaxing to watch.
A proper English rose.
A brilliant end to the weekend. Time with Betty on her boat. You are a brilliant and naturally engaging communicator. Keep going just as you are.
Thank you very much!
You have a very relaxing style.
I like the silence within the commentary .
Makes the viewer feel they are on the boat.
Thank you very much!
Betty, you are a breath of fresh air. Love your videos. Keep them simple and uncomplicated and I wish you all the very best and happy boating.
Thank you! 😊
It's Our Betty,...The Real Deal, Great to see You back Betty with another Wonderful video, it Brightens up Sunday for Me,....Love It.

Ah great, I hope you enjoyed the latest one too!
I'm always pleased to see another video of you on your narrow boat, brightens my day x
Thank you! 😊
Betty, your videos make me wish we still had our canal system here in Ohio USA. They have been gone for quite some time now. Love your videos! Dreams of a simpler life.
Yes we’re really lucky to still have canals here in England. Thanks for watching my videos! 😀
Thank you for sharing your journey. You are doing a wonderful job, and it brightens my day when you post a new vlog.
Thank you, that’s really nice to know!
I very much am enjoying your adventure. Having lived aboard a sailboat on the Pacific Ocean, I know of getting water, dumping tanks, and getting fuel. Canals are quite different, very interesting. Thank you for sharing your travels.
I imagine living on a sailboat is a lot more challenging!
Betty is back!
Haven't watched the entire video yet but I am very happy to see your new video appear. Awesome.
Thanks!
I hope you like it! 😀
@@bettyonaboat I watched the first few minutes and then had to pause to wait for my wife so we can watch you together, and enjoy the lovely, peaceful, beautiful vibe. Of course we will love it Betty, really, we feel lucky to have found you.
The rivers and canals are very healing.
I lived on the river for 10 years.
All the best betty
They definitely are healing. Thanks for watching!
"So, I thought I'd take you along with me..." Love how you connect to your viewers :)
As a new to boat ownership ( 3 cruising days ago), I am in awe of your calm demeanour. I aspire to being as serene as you dear Betty.
You should have seen me when I started, I definitely wasn’t calm! 😂
As a sailboat owner I tried filming myself and discovered even on my calmest day it still looks like a frantic whirlwind with lots of swearing.
Will leave the filming life to the pro's like Betty here.
Thankyou again Betty love your videos enjoy watching so peaceful and calming and through the countryside well done.
Thanks so much!

Yay, Betty's back! One of the most scenic routes you've done I think. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’m glad you liked it! I’m interested to see what the rest of the canal is like and how much I remember from my childhood.
What a breath of fresh air these videos are
Thanks for these! ❤
Thanks for watching!
@@bettyonaboat no ... literally thank you for the 10 minutes where I'm somewhere else. Somewhere calm 😌
It really means a lot!

Do keep it up!
Thank you, I hope to show bits of Wolverhampton as I get closer!
First time watching your video. Very relaxing , like boating trough a Constable painting!
Thank you, I like that comparison!
Peaceful tranquility! Your a gentle soul Bettyx
We’ve all been there, too busy watching the wildlife then almost crashing 😂 Recovered it well though! 💪🏻💕
Haha, I wasn’t filming the worst of it! 😂
At the risk of repeating other’s comments, your videos are always so calming and peaceful.
Ideal preparation for a day of frustrating work 😊
Thank you so much!
Glad I found your channel. I’ve been following the work on my local canal restoration for the past few years. Keep up the wonderful work, it’s so relaxing
It’s great that so many canals are being restored!
Your videos are just lovely to watch. Easy, relaxing viewing. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Hi Betty 👋😃 I have to commend you, your style of vlogging is very refreshing. I have followed a great number of narrowboat channels on and off when time has allowed - ever since the very first ones started to show up here in 2011.

There were loads of them following me so I had to! 🦆

Another relaxing video from you and Little One. I love the Staffs and Worcester canal......it is very pretty. You are so natural and your descriptions and explanations are excellent for any non-boaters watching. I look forward to seeing your videos appear in my notifications. Happy travels x
Thank you Caroline, it’s nice to know the descriptions and explanations are appreciated by non-boaters! 😀 I hope you enjoy watching more of my travels!
What a lovely typical Betty comment 'I actually forget that people watch the videos' 🥰. I've been following you since your first video and as a former barge owner in The Netherlands, I really enjoy them.
Thank you for watching from the start! 😊
Nice one Betty! Thanks for taking us along and explaining things so straightforwardly! Safe travels 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just discovered your videos. Your relaxed style and straightforward narration makes them really fun and enjoyable to watch. I particularly find your unique style of leaning into the camera each time you have something to say. I know it’s because you are closer to the mic, but even if it wasn’t necessary, it makes your videos different in a pleasant way.
Thanks for saying this because a few people have told me to stop leaning in to the camera! I just want to make sure people can hear me over the engine. I tried using a wireless mic but the sound wasn’t as good.
@@bettyonaboat Don't listen to them. Because it is uniquely you and helps you stand out. It comes across like a good frined leaning in during a concert to say something so they know you can hear. It makes it feel personal, like you're talking just to me. Even if you upgrade to an electric motor, keep leaning in. Cheers from California
I'm very happy your father is doing well, I myself recently got out of the hospital after a massive infection and a stroke that it caused along with kidney failure but I beat the infection and kidneys are improving. The hardest part for me was my son taking time off from school to help me which he insisted upon doing. I really appreciate him and I am very sure yours appreciates you.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so ill but well done for beating it!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Nice too see stuff from your childhood, hope most of the memories are pleasant ones. Keep up the good work. Live confidently and peacefully
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another video, Betty.. Hope your dad is keeping well ❤
Yes, I saw him yesterday and we went for a walk!
Very relaxing and enjoyable,watching from Bali,Indonesia ❤😊
Thank you and hello from England!
Thank you Betty, such a wonderful thing to see a video pop up. I hope things are good? Thank you for letting us join you on that trip (with obstacles) that truly helped me so very much. You are a star. I look forward to the next one.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy the next one!
I really enjoy your videos. I watch them when I need to be calm. They have a soothing quality. Plus, it's great to see our beautiful English countryside from a different perspective. Keep filming and posting if you can.
Kind regards,
Glyn
I will keep on posting, they just take me a while to edit as I have to fit it around working!
Love your vlogs . They're nice to come back to after a beautiful summer on the canals.
You are on one my favourite canals , enjoy Betty ❤
Thanks Jason!
Great video again..Betty.. Look forward to you barging via Wolvo. My home town
I’m looking forward to it too!
Yet another gem from you Betty. Everythings lovely about your VLOGS. You talking, the scenery and the music. And i hope things are going well for your dad..Best wishes🙂
Thank you very much!
Nice to see you back...20K subscribers now !!!!! Well done on growing your channel....are you going to spend the winter on the boat Betty? 🥶🫶
Another beautiful video Betty!!absolutely stunning views. The music you play to accompany your videos is spot on👍. You make driving your boat look easy,and I love your little facial expressions if something goes a little bit wrong 😄. Keep your videos coming young lady x
Driving a boat is quite easy to be honest! Although maybe I should pretend it’s difficult to make myself look better?
I don’t know anything about canal boats but your video popped up and I really enjoyed it, nice to hear your Black Country accent.
I live down the road from Bratch Locks and always walk along and sit by the canal.
Me and a few friends always walk from the Lock Inn in Wolverley and go to every pub along the canal until we get into Wombourne and back into Wolverhampton.
All the best 👍
I remember Bratch Locks from when I was a teenager and used to cycle along the canal. I’ll have to look out for the pubs as I don’t remember those. I’m glad you enjoyed watching! 😀
Great Video. The guy in the permanent moorings who watches your videos - Maybe you could have done a little interview with him and featured it on this video (that's if he was game of course). Very nice video. Wonderful to watch on a Sunday evening. All the best. Terry Miles
We did have a longer chat but I cut it out as I realised I didn’t have his permission to include it. I’m never sure whether or not to include people on other boats as they might not realise they’re being filmed!
@@bettyonaboat Hi Betty. Well in my experience (as a RUclipsr), I find that if you ask people - 'Is it alright to feature this little chat on my RUclips Channel' - Nine times out of ten, people absolutely love to be on a RUclips video, especially someone who they already follow and respect and I reckon watchers / subscribers of your amazing channel, in my view would really like and be interested hugely to see other narrow boat folks stories - just a thought. Terry
Perhaps Terry can schlep his piano onto your narrowboat and you can do a “Boogie Woogie Down the Canals” video…😂 You’re both fabulous!!
Hello Betty, once again you have brought peace and calm to the day after a harrowing and busy weekend. Your choice of music to accompany your narrative really set the tone for bringing me into the work week. Enjoyable, describes your video and seeing them is a relief from the hustle that awaits me. Looking forward to your next. Thanks again.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear your weekend was harrowing! But I’m glad the video brought some relief, and I hope things get better for you.
