I had a 10yr plan and have got there. Lived in UK but bought land in the wilderness of North Ontario Canada and built an off grid home. Lots of lessons on route but like you, we want to live life not live for our house. This way we can do both. Good luck, just found you so will enjoy following your progress 😊
Oh that’s incredible wow 😮 do you have a RUclips or Instagram? Your story sounds amazing Kenny. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you like our other videos where we travel in the van all over. Thanks Kenny 😊😊👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Amazon has floating cell phone cases. I’d buy one, 😂 and one for keys and a magnet 🧲, lol. I really enjoy your energy and can’t wait to see your next video.
Oh wow that’s awesome we love the USA 🇺🇸 that sounds incredibly fun 😂 check out our other videos we travel around the whole UK in our camper van Aswel. Thanks so much for watching Shoan 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🇺🇸🇬🇧
Wow what an adventure with getting a canal boat. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Also couldn’t agree more with working towards a different way of life 😎🤙🏽. Love it!!
Yeah between that and the camper van we should have plenty of adventures. It’s just hard work getting there 😂 but it’ll be worth it. Thanks so much for watching guys 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Hi I bought my boat and never been on one I always wanted one and I love although it cost me a arm and leg to have it I don't care you have to be a bit mad to do it if the bug bites it bites deep Keep going
Well done for living your life. We did on and off for 50 years but sadly are now too old. We too lived on a narrowboat but wintered touring Spain Portugal Italy and Greece by campervan. We also had sailboats and based in Malta Ibiza Mallorca and near St Tropez back in the 70s. I will follow your progress with interest and maybe you could look at Barbridge Marina in Cheshire for a good value available mooring.
Thanks so much 😊 wow it sounds like you have had some amazing adventures that sounds incredible. Yeah we travel a lot in our camper van as you’ve probably seen in our videos and now we can explore the canals Aswel. We drive to Ibiza every year it’s an amazing island 🏝️. We will definitely check out the Marina thanks so much for that. 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
@@romanypirates If you drive down to Spain on the way to Ibiza, you pass Cadaques where we used to meet lots of international hippies we were friends with years ago, both it and Ibiza are very different now.
Just found you and now really looking forward to following you both. You look like a really lovely couple. Love the dogs. Good luck to you and enjoy. Kath Down under in Australia.
Thank you, we travel all over the UK in our camper van but always wanted a boat Aswel but it’s been quite a learning curve 😂 we’ll get there though. All the best with your search for a boat. Thanks so much for watching 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I absolutely love your boat , and all the original features!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! ....... Keep it up Guys , it's All gonna be Worth it!!!!! Cheers 😘!
Hi your such a hardworking and positive couple. I’m a traveller at heart but my hubby isn’t, I find it so frustrating, I would love to live the life you both lead. We have the means to travel and explore. You have stirred up my determination to push my husband into getting out of a rut. Peace 🧚
hi guys,i`ve dropped a couple of phones in the cut since i`ve been a liveaboard boater,love your boatmans cabin,i could`nt make out what your engine was(it looks like a lister?),you know what boat stands for..(bring out another thousand lol)keep the vlogs coming,see you on the cut..
Yeah it’s a lister I think, yeah it’s certainly a money pit 😂 we will get there eventually with it and then it’ll be worth it. Thanks so much for watching Mick much appreciated 👍👍😊😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
It's great to see you living your best life. Hope things work out, I think you will get there as well. Trying to nail down your accents ? Bradford, Leeds , Burnley ?
Just stumbled upon you guys. Subscribed. Can't wait to see what you do with the boat. I'm sat here trying to guess what it is you're going to be doing...so far I'm going down the juggling on water vibe. Where people come on boat and watch. I'm probably way off with that but hey if it wasn't your plan maybe you'll incorporate it into your plan😂
Haha welcome to the channel 😂 yeah you’re way off however that’s not a bad idea 👍👍we travel in a van a lot around the UK and Europe so we’ve got a few videos of us doing that Aswel. Thanks so much for subscribing 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Aw thanks so much Glenn, hope you enjoy the channel. We travel a lot in our camper van all over the UK and Europe and will be going between the boat and the van to basically have an epic adventure 😂 thanks so much mate hope you enjoy it 😊. Reese, Emma and Daisy 😊😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Its a huge project and will be a lot of hard work to get it the way you both envision it, but oh my will it be worth it when you get there at the end and it will be great viewing I hope you take us along with you on your journey, and the chance to make new friends in the boating community will be huge you will be surprised by how many will offer help along the way and my advice is take all your offered, You may not be Pirates of the high seas but your definately going to be Pirates of the canals ! Best Wishes in all you do your such a great couple and a hug for Daisy too!
Wow, well done you two. Judging by the lack of walls you have some great ideas ahead? Can't wait to see what they are. Love the way you attack life and its opportunities, Eye rolling is better than boat rolling methinks. All the very best for this next part of your adventures.
Thanks so much Alan. So glad you enjoyed this week, it was a little different so we weren’t sure how it would go down 😊😊 thanks so much for your support Alan as always. Have a great week 👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Loving this!! Have a look on my friends list, Mark Simonelli . He's been a narrow boatman for many years and will, I'm sure, be able to help. (I'll PM him also) I absolutely love that you're doing this. Keep it up you legends! Xxx❤
Yeah we will do Sarah 😊 thanks so much for that. So pleased you enjoyed this week’s episode we were a bit nervous about whether people would like it. Thanks Sarah xx
Hi Just found your channel and love the way you two come across. I see you have painted your roof black, on hot sunny days the temperature inside of the boat will unbearable as black attracts the heat, most boats have a white or off white roof to reflect the heat away, best of luck with your renovations 👍👍👍
Hey Mike thanks so much for watching 😃😃 yeah I know 😂 😂 it’s gonna be a nightmare haha 😆 but it HAS to be black there’s no other option, you’ll see as we go along haha. Luckily it’s just a little side business and we’re not living on it but yeah you’re right it’s gonna be crazy hot 😂 thanks so much for watching Mike 👍👍😃😃🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Sending you both a MILLION positive vibes ,I have no practical advice whatsoever 😂😂 but I am still giggled .I just think this is bloody amazing ,the black paint would have finished me off at the start .and Emma I swear .I would have done the same eye roll and march up the steps to the "Emma Emma the boats tilted " .kinda wish you guys were up here in Scotland .we've got plenty water ...and whisky .thanks so much for sharing your journey ☺️🥰
We are used to travelling in the van and we have the cottage Aswel We’re not living on the boat at this time it’s just so we can set up the business and explore the canals which we both have always wanted to do 😊😊plus we often do random things like buy boats 😂 😂 but yeah you definitely have to be careful that’s for sure 😊👍👍🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
You definitely have your work cut out making a liveable boat from that. We are seriously thinking about selling our house and buying a narrowboat. We are both just past 50 years old, house is paid off, and if we sell up, we can afford a decent 2nd hand boat and can live off the profits and pensions. By the looks of it, you are also quite local to us here in Halifax / Bradford, hopefully we will see you on the cut sometime in the future.

Your pretty little pup, Daisy, could be my OBi's twin... But Daisy is much better behaved😉 Looking forward to seeing your plans take shape.
Haha oh don’t let her looks deceive you she can be naughty when she wants 😂 thanks so much for watching 👍👍😊🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️

I Bought a 57ft Canal Boat…and we'd NEVER even been on one & I’m now loving every minute of it,
Awesome thanks so much 😊😊👍🏴☠️🏴☠️
That's a silly thing to do you should have hired a boat for a week. I did the same thing when I moved to a moterhome.
