    Get a drone definitely. They are so easy to fly nowadays, they are virtually autonomous, stick in in the air and put it in follow me mode and it will follow you along the cut. They have built-in obstacle avoidance so wont fly into anything (depending on which model you buy that is, do the research). I fly the Yuneec Typhoon H which is a hex-copter, its a bit too big for what you want. DJI do some nice ones, small which can be landed in the palm of your hand (carefully). l also follow Foxes Afloat and some of their aerial video and photography is outstanding.

    A very interesting, informative and honest video. It is unusual for narrowboaters to talk about how they make money on the cut - but, of course, that's always the number one question in the minds of most viewers. The fact is that it's clearly damn hard to make a decent living when you are a continuous cruiser. If it were easy, then there would be a lot more people living their dream on the waterways.
    It seems to me that unless one has a ton of savings or a pension, all that happens is that you replace the stress of a job with the stress of worrying where the next penny is coming from. I am sure you are only too aware that not having any cash for emergencies is not an ideal situation to be in.
    But enough of me being a wet blanket. I wish you all the best and hope that things go well for you. My ears also pricked up when you said you lived in Gosport. I grew up in said town, living in Park Road opposite the Creek, which is a stone's throw from Gosport Park.

    Thanks for doing this video. It had really helped to answer some question I have about my own boat search, and what to do with the car. So do you walk back to the car after each trip and drive it further up the canal/river? Do you have a bike/scooter to get you back to the car quicker?
    On the north/south wide beam topic, if you did travel as far north as you can on the southern canals, how far would you need to be transported on a lorry to get you to the northern canals, and have you looked into what that would cost? Are they building a widened canal that will eventually link the north and south? Sorry for all the questions. Hope you’re enjoying the K&A. Rgds Darren

    :chuckles: Late to the party on this one (I swear RUclips hides things in mischievous fashion!) but I just wanted to say what an enjoyable watch it was, as well as being informative.
    One thing that struck me as I was listening for a pointers on how to make a living whilst cruising is that I wonder if you have considered doing some tutorials about how to build a client list as a freelance writer? It is something I have considered getting into myself but don't really have a clue as to how to get my foot in the door.
    Also, I just wanted to note, as I am sure all successful married couples already know, that the banter and teasing between the two of you is the essential oil that makes a relationship work :D. If you can't take the wet out of each other then it is not likely you will be able to stand each other for the long run :thumbs up:.

      Hi Dallas, it's not something we would consider because we want to keep our content to do with boats etc. Try looking at ProBlogger website. It lists tons of freelance jobs you can apply for. Thank you for your kind comments about the vlogs and good luck getting that writing gig.

    Well I really like your videos drone or not I thought I’m not that keen on drone shots really I think it’s a bit too much for me sometimes but your videos are very nice and we’ve decided me and my lovely partner decided that white beams are for us but they don’t so why don’t I don’t understand you have to do me a video or something telling me why or tell him why the narrowboats don’t like the white beams because like you said about it’s about you know and if you’ve got if you’re on the larger side like me you needed a white be white beam I think and I’m really enjoying it and I’m going to look into your painting cause I’d love to do a little bit more water cut your very good very good indeed and I will enjoy your videos immensely thank you very much

    Could you team up with a narrowboat team and call yourselves "The odd couple" or something like that? Do a series of indepth comparisons between the boats and their needs? Maybe find a team with skills that are complementary to yours? Best of luck.

    Hi Mark & Julie, great video as always. My wife and I look forward to your channel every week. The nearest we can get to the canals is by having a share in a narrowboat that gives us 4 weeks use per year. Which leads me on to a couple of questions. I would like to do some filming of our escapades over time and wondered what sort of equipment you use to create your vlogs. I will be filming on an iPhone and Gopro style camera, but wonder what spec. of laptop you use and also your preferred software for editing please. Keep up the great work, you're keeping us sane in this manic year. Safe travels.

    Caught up now and watched all your vlogs, loved watching them and helped us make our decision to go wide beam, thanks for all your great videos it’s really helped us and answered so many questions. We plan to move our car with us like you guys do, have you had any problems finding secure parking? Also can you advise, are there any spots to avoid on the K&A for continuous cruising, specifically places that are not secure or have a higher risk of crime?
    Rich & Jax

    • @WeirontheMove
      @WeirontheMove  3 года назад

      We don't know anywhere along the K and A where the crime rate is high. Places like Reading and Newbury have higher crime rates and Thatcham gets a bit of a reputation. We wouldn't moor near Fobney lock. That has a reputation. We don't know any other hot spots, so to speak. We tend to park in residential streets or next to bridges as that seems safe.
