  • We have been looking forward to showing you what it is like to cruise on a Widebeam Narrowboat.
    Watch us cruise through locks and lift bridges on a tranquil autumn day. We are on the way to fill up on essential water. This is a calm vlog with beautiful scenery.

    I made a career that involved legal responsibility for the health and safety of workers. I have also crewed a 50 Tonne 69.5ft x 12.5 ft widebeam on the Thames Kingston Upon Thames to Oxford, the K & A Pewsey to Bristol and the Grand Union Canal from Stoke Bruerne (Lock 14 to Brentford Lock 103) and on to Kingston Upon Thames and I know what is safe and what is not.

    Thanks for the video, but what size is your widebeam, and which canal system or systems do you travel ? We currently live in California but are heading to England in the spring, (May 22), retired and looking to buy a Widebeam. (Traveling on the QE2 to gain some boating experience :-) Born in Gloucester, we will perhaps make that system and it’s connections our base, but are soaking up any info you and others give, though you and your partner appear to be the best fit for our lifestyle.

    • @catherinefinn1427
      @catherinefinn1427  3 года назад

      Hi Glevum, it's 70 x 12 Widebeam. The full spec can be found here: www.tingdeneboatsales.net/boat-spec.php?BoatID=7870686
      Let us know if you have any questions? It is currently up for sale in Walton on Thames Marina. Best, Kate

      @@catherinefinn1427 Are you leaving the system, or going back to a narrow boat ? If the former your personality will be missed, you have a way of ‘letting people in’.... but if it’s private.... we have lots of questions but to ask just one. What about noise on the canal system ? The Piano Boat for instance would be our worst nightmare. We prefer the sounds of nature to anything else and don’t want to listen to people’s radios etc. Would we move on ? But what if we’ve purchased a permanent mooring are we stuck ? Noise is one of the reasons for leaving where we live presently. Once at the very edge of the city, with only (High) desert grouse and coyotes for company, its now all around us. And your boat is beautiful, you really took care of it and a great layout, but just too soon for us. We won’t be leaving the USA until May, (second sailing, hopefully, of QE2) and that’s providing Isabelle, our 14/15 yr old border collie hangs in there.
