    OK , I’m Officially envious. An accomplished photographer/videographer, a lovely storyteller, a gorgeous cat, a clearly supportive, kind partner, all lovely and deserved. But damn, did you also have to be an accomplished watercolorist? As a watercolor hobbyist I truly envy your talent!

    It sounds like it's a bit like that experience of enjoying a holiday but really loving coming back to your own bed... except you get to travel and always come back to your own bed... best of both worlds really. That little expression after exiting the tunnel... presumably to Andrew... it's lovely to see your interactions with each other... I know these are edited to be lovely and there would no doubt be ups and downs... but you seem like such a great couple, very supportive of each other... lovely!

    I’ve said it before Kris, but I’m enthralled by the professional eye you bring to every video. I only wish I was 30 years younger and lived in the UK. I’ll have to convince my husband to hire a narrowboat the next time we’re in the UK. 🇦🇺

      Hi Kris, thanks for sharing your journey , the towns you visit and the books you read. Is it safe for a woman to travel and live solo on a narrowboat ? I see you have a partner but was wondering if it is safe to continuous cruise on my own@@krisatomic

    Kris - another soothing episode and some great "flow going"... going on. "The outside changes but it's always home on the inside" - could there be a better endorsement of boat living? And love the fact there is some Hemingway on board..OK its not The old man and the sea but this feels like your own journey of discovery and (to echo Hemingway), a Santiago-like lesson in "what is enough and what can we do without". Loved the use of the light entering the porthole to make a "spotlight" and also the light/dark transition at around 15-30. Great music again - you should really list what you have chosen each time as it is unerringly soporific..... in a good way!!!! - until the next time, keep well both and l look forward to some Ashby insights...

    I know that feeling you described.
    I experienced something very similar as a kid.
    I still have this feeling as an adult, but my childhood experience is a powerful core memory.
    The biannual “moving of the caravan”.
    An exciting occasion when dad would let me ride with him and help out etc.
    But this time, he let me stay inside the caravan as he moved it for our neighbours.
    There was something different about being inside a domestic space as it moved.
    A feeling. A moment.
    Something that I can’t quite put my finger on. It’s an incredibly exciting and yet safe feeling.
    It’s not easy to describe.

    The life aquatic. We don’t have canal boats here in the states. We have RVs. Big a@@ buses that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. We had one. We lived full time for 6 1/2 years on the asphalt. No home - other than the bus. It was like a rock band tour bus but without the wild parties, drugs, sex, Rock&Roll and people with questionable hygiene standards. Just knocking about. I think I’d prefer the aquatic version.

    Don't be put off going up to Coventry Basin. It did used to be full of rubbish, but since it was City of Culture in 2021 it's been way better. It had a lot of dredging and towpath upgrades prior to a royal visit. We did it early '21 and bounced over a few things under bridges, got stuff round the prop on the way back, and lost steering on one corner due to rubbish on the rudder. Gave it another go this year and had no problems at all, admittedly we did take power off passing through a couple of bridges just in case. Basin can be busy and short of space, but there are moorings just before you pass under the last bridge into it. Worst case you can get there and back in a day from Hawkesbury, as a bonus it's a Silver Propeller location. Give it a go ;)

    Boaters like to moan and pass on gossip, I’ve been into Coventry nearly every year since I got my boat. Yep some bits on the way in I wouldn’t stop, but in the basin at the end is lovely. It’s a good place for some jobs on the boat, shop’s nearby and easy to work on the bow and stern as you can moor at the end.
