    I used Sam's bike repairs when he was moored up at Homerton bridge last year. My gears were slipping as I cycled along the tow path when I noticed Sam's boat. He had my gears working as they should in no time. Highly recommended!!

    very impressed with this young fellow -- caught my heart when he said he wouldn't move his boat till the birds were gone.

    Ms. Jasmine where for art thou? It’s 12-21-2021. Haven seen anything new since late January(?) this year. Nonetheless wishing you a very Merrie Christmas, and a Prosperous 2022, New Year! 🌲🎉

    Nice video and interview. I retire in two years and nine months. I've been dreaming of buying a narrow boat. I cycle and have been watching to see how people carry their bikes, what boats lend themselves to a sort of 'garage' that would make loading and unloading a bike an easy task, etc. Nice to see someone actually operating a bike shop from a boat.

    Wow, great... love to see what people do, to make a living, while living on the canals... more vlogs like this please

    • @ThisNarrowboatAdventure

      Working on it should be a play list on my channel with all the videos like this I've done

    • @FiddlingwithmyWhistle
      @FiddlingwithmyWhistle 6 лет назад

      That's it, I keep looking at a boat. I am on a pension, but would need to do something to make that little bit extra. So it is nice to see what people are doing. we can't all make vlogs about living on the canal.. :)
      And I am not at a stage to make money off my channel... but I am going to give it a plug any way... happy boating.

      @ThisNarrowboatAdventure  6 лет назад +1

      oh you should check out my friends channel "the ukelele teacher" he has a fantastic format for music teaching! do you play fiddle or more into the tech side ?

    • @FiddlingwithmyWhistle
      @FiddlingwithmyWhistle 6 лет назад

      I play Fiddle and Tin Whistle, ( + piano and bagpipes)... Only been doing it a couple of years, so I am not very good! I started making my animated tab tutorials to help myself to learn the tunes, shareing them on RUclips was an after thought.
      I have seen a few Ukelele tutorials... but I had not seen your friends before. With 1.1 million Subs and 1600 Patreons. His channel must be a full time job for him.

    Jasmin, your interviews of boaty-businesses are always really interesting. By the look of some High Street businesses these days, it's a really smart move to cut costs and combine housing and business together on the canals for an interesting lifestyle.

    • @ThisNarrowboatAdventure
      @ThisNarrowboatAdventure  6 лет назад

      Maybe if it suits the buisness for cruisers i think it can be hard to have enough power to run many buisnesses!

    • @ThisNarrowboatAdventure
      @ThisNarrowboatAdventure  6 лет назад

      lots of people message me asking what buis esses are needed I think for lots of people the buisness is a way to live afloat and go where you want rather than because it makes buisness sense

  • @markregan6133
    @markregan6133 6 лет назад

    I saw a boat with a coot’s nest just like that on my way in
    to London. If I see it again I must pay attention and see if it’s the bike
    shop. Interesting as my bike hub gear started slipping it gears this morning
    but I think I have fixed it myself but if I haven’t this could be useful.

    Ah, yes, I do understand the thing about not having a television :) For me the thing was partly forced by the effects of autism. The more years I go without television at home, the more I am aware of how discordant and chaotic the energy coming from television is
