    Love how quietly LauraMaisie purrs. Glides through the water like a hot knife through butter and you can still clearly hear all the bird song and other sounds around. Beautiful ☺️

    I would love to live in the UK. With all the canals and passenger trains, I would always be on the move. Thank you for revealing the boat life on the canals. I am retired from the U S Coast Guard and would love to be able to live on the water.

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  3 года назад +2

      Wow, I'm sure you have plenty of tales to tell. The canal life would be a very different pace from coast guard.

    So lovely to see you cruising again. Such a quiet narrowboat--can hardly hear the engine purr. Looks like the dogs are settled in now. You must be on the heels of the Foxes! Look forward to many more vlogs on the Laura Maisie. Greetings from British Columbia.

  • @steveallen5087
    @steveallen5087 3 года назад

    First off, beautiful music!! Great choices. But most of all the Laura Maisie is beautiful!! I’d guess she moves very well through the water. Keep safe and continue on..🤟😍

    • @FloatingOurBoat
      @FloatingOurBoat  3 года назад

      Thanks Steve- she does move through the water well. We like the way she looks too, but we will probably be getting a rear cover due to practical reasons with the dogs..... we'll see, Thanks again for watching,

    I have viewed others trips up and down the Canals and they didn't seem as picturesque as what yours are, being from the USA, I'm not familiar with the sites and the names of the rivers are unknown to me but, they are still wonderful to see. I thank you so much for sharing your tours with me, I'm sure I'm speaking for many others. I'm going to subscribe to your channel, leave a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. I love your "Home away from Home" and I hope to see more of your travels, they are exciting. Cheers!

    Hi Guys, Glad to see you are both well and that you have finally aquired your new home. Did the walk through with you and it looks fabulous, well done. I have not commented for a while but had to say that Foxes Ep150 is a brilliant explanation of the plans intended over the next few years by The Runcorn Canal Society about the restoration of the Runcorn Arm. If you have not seen it by now you will be amazed. Ep151 is about the dry dock down there which is also an eye opener. Proper Job.

    As an observation on safety. We had an Elton Moss boat and the same length tiller arm as you. Linda from Cheshire Cat pointed out to us that should we hit the rudder and be steering from outside on the back it was possible we would get knocked in. So on her advice we bought a longer arm and thus were able to steer from inside the back doors.

    There is somethng so restful, so English about the whole channel. You are a real tonic in a very hectic, divided world! My mum, God bless her, was English, and although she never got home again after the war, her affection and respect for her country took root in an Irish son. I've never lived in England, but it feels like home in a funny schizophrenic way!

    Nice to see the two of you cruising again. I can’t wait to visit the Liverpool area when I get on the water. If the Bridgewater is so clean and owned by the Manchester company, it must be all that rain! 😉
    It’s mind-blowing when you get up close the structures such as the green bridge on your Runcorn trip. No doubt the Alderton lift will be even more so from a boaters-eye view. Take care the both of you.

    • @FloatingOurBoat
