I just thought you might like to know. We are retired and when I first saw you I thought not another pair on a boat. I was wrong we have really warmed to you both, your so refreshing and honest. Not all your fans are young.👍
You reminiscing about Nottingham reminds me of the times me and my husband used to go there for ponymeets.. I collect my little pony. Loved it there. Good memories xxxx😊
We had been without one for 7 months haha this was like Christmas! Trent video is coming out tomorrow 😬 we only did a short section but it didn’t go too well haha!
Another fab vlog and wow thanks for the shout out ☺️ hope you’re enjoying the fridge 😂 it’s the little things that make us happy 😊take care both of you x
A man that makes the well being of his animals a priority even on a much needed night out is a man after my own heart. What lucky pets you have. I've been looking at those stove top potato cookers and the Ridgemonkeys, have you seen them? I'm with Amy on the salad cream 🤣 Another great vlog, so enjoyed watching it, you do make me giggle.
Aw thank you so much! We do so love our pets, and do our best to make sure they're always happy and safe... although Rufus's constant crying is enough to make anyone question our love for him 😂 Ooh we weren't familiar with the Ridgemonkeys, but they look good! Not sure if our stove is a little too small for it though. Perhaps when we've mastered the potato cooker we'll branch out 😅 Ah +1 for team salad cream! 😂😂 Thank you so much for watching! x
hahaha good ole Wes, love your sarcasm 😂😂 Not many channels on here have me actually giggling out loud. Still binge-ing guys! gotta catch up on all the old adventures too 🥳
Over the moon for you both with seeing your new fridge fit in the gap!! Another great longer vlog that captures life on a boat, the highs, lows, brilliant!! Xx
Whoohoo, fridge time. Keep us posted about the power consumption and what you have decided that goes in. Probably coke, nothing tastes worse than a lukewarm cola. And think of all the stuff you can keep fresh longer. And ice cream or self made popsicles!
So exciting!! We can have ice, and ice cream, and chilled drinks! What a treat haha! 🥳 Will post an update on how it’s going in an upcoming vlog Thanks for watching, have a great weekend 😊
So excited that you got your fridge and I bet you were glad it was easy to install. You looked really giddy to be in the bustle of the shops and the marinas😄 Thanks for such a great vlog. I look forward to watching each week. Take care. Nick
Thank you! We were so relieved to find all the wiring was ready to go and it just needed plugging in! Wes was getting so worked up about having to try and wire it up! 😅 The marinas can be so exciting to explore, each one's a little bit different 😊 Thank you so much, Nick! We love having you with us ❤
That little stove pot thing, did you see Heidi on the Pirate boat tried making an omelette in hers lol it didn't work out too well. Your spuds came out great.
Yay! REFRIGERATOR!!! We cheered and clapped. Love the potato cooker, too. Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog-your exhuberance is infectious. Congrats on your next level cruising skills-we are learning so much from you. Safe travels.
Yay! Haha! Thank you so much that's so sweet 😁 It's a great little cooker that - still needs a little bit of practise but a great use of our stove's heat! Thank you for the kind words, it means so much to us! ♥ Stay safe!
So cute, always enjoy you two.. Not a fan of vegan food, but enjoy how you do it all. Rufus is so sweet. Thing I enjoy are all the lovely old buildings, we have so few.
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment 🥰 oo yeah some of the buildings can be interesting! We will keep an eye out for some good ones for you!
Congratulations on your new chill box and potty cover! It was such a good feeling to see you guys get so excited over things we take for granted. A nice reminder to make me grateful for the things I have.
Thank you! It's the small(ish) things that have the biggest impact! 😅 That's so sweet that you took that from our experience. It's something we definitely took for granted when we lived in a house too!
So pleased you finally got your fridge…..whoooo!! You might not run out of food so easily now and you can enjoy some fresh stuff for longer. Loved that stretch of the T&M apart from that road near the Starbucks……it’s so noisy isn’t it. Look forward to next weeks vlog. Thanks for keeping me entertained and making me want to get my own boat even more than ever. Phil ❤️
Us too! Yeah we can be a little less regimented with what we eat and when, and even buy a few treats for later in the week too 😀 Yes agreed! The T&M is so beautiful, but we really struggled to sleep near that road. The noise is so persistent you really can't escape it on that stretch! Thank you so much for joining us on our adventure, we absolutely love having you along for the ride! If you do ever decide to get one I'm sure we'll see you out on the cut! ♥
Another delightful video. A FRIDGE! So so excited for you. Your channel continues to be my favourite. Can't explain why except watching your vlogs makes me yearn to be on my own narrowboat on the canals. A middle of Canada fantasy. Love you guys and your fur babies. Hugs and blessings.
Thank you so much!! Soooo exciting!! Didn’t think we would ever be this excited about a fridge haha! Oh wow, I’ve seen there’s some canals in Canada. Are narrowboats a thing over there? Sending you love! Take care 🥰
Yeah a fridge! A great video again guys, your potatoes were much better than any I have done in my cast iron cooker 😂😂 I meant to ask you where did you get your office chair from ?
No. We don’t have canals like yours in England. People do live on boats in Canada but usually along the western coast like the Vancouver harbours. They are usually sailing boats. Pleasure Boating is huge on the prairies where we have thousands of lakes but winter is too cold for boat life. This prairie girl can only dream! Lol
Oh that's so interesting! We're never sure which countries used canals. Sailing boats look so complicated! Much more challenging than our little narrowboat I'm sure 😅 I bet it gets very cold there, I can't imagine how cold it would get on a boat! But it's so picturesque too! Hopefully our little adventure gives you the chance to live the boat life vicariously at least!
Yay!! 🥳 I've been waiting for the fridge vlog since you announced it during your Christmas live stream!! You both are so enjoyable, loving your zest for life and adventures!
Yay finally a fridge!!!! :) You wont know what to do with your perishables now :) The little cinema looked nice and I seen that film over Christmas, I enjoyed it too. I think if you are worried about the fridge and power, maybe get your electrics overhauled, more importantly a correct monitor so you can see the drain and power remaining, but I'm sure that isn't a cheap thing!!! Really enjoyed the vlog :)
Haha! Exactly! We're spoilt for choice now! 😅 It was a lovely little cinema, very vintage looking inside, and a great movie! We have a Victron battery monitor ready to go, but our wiring setup is a little odd, so needs a bit of attention before we can install it properly. We're hoping to save up for some better batteries long-term too! Thank you for watching!
Fab vlog loved the marina with cinema will definitely try that one out. We go to Mercia to get bits as our boat is being fitted out at Stenson. I bet life is easier now you have a fridge. 😊
Can definitely recommend! Was lovely cat Barton. Lots of cafes, shops and restaurants! It’s quite close to Mercia too 😊 Soo much easier to eat healthy now! 😊
Loving your excitement over a fridge bless u mind you I bet the 12v version is not cheap. Enjoy. And love the jacket spud cooker thingy. Great idea. Love Mercia. Nearly bought a boat there whoops. Lol. Brilliant vlog. U guys make my day. Best wishes. X
We had waited 7 months for this moment haha! Yeah for sure more expensive than a standard under counter fridge, but was really easy to install and 12v gives us peace of mind 😊 Haha Mercia was one of the first marinas we looked at boats in too, it’s so tempting looking at them all isn’t it haha! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Amy, Wes, what a lovely Vlog. It's a tonic watching you both on your adventures. Great Christmas Lights. Loved that there was a cinema at Barton Marina. How exciting that you are now the proud owners of a new fridge for your narrow-boat home. A very polished, beautifully shot and well edited video. Well done. Take Care.
Thank you so much!! The lights and the cinema were a real treat 😊 And the fridge really topped this week off for us, what a good streak of luck! Thank you for the kind words about the editing and shooting, we're practising and enjoying the process of making them! Take care too x
I'm wondering if you've bought a multimeter yet? We had a 3-way fridge freezer in our motorhome, gas, 12v, 240v. We were just as excited every time we installed an appliance though. Just started episode 26, still lovin' it. :)
hi guys,just been watching "Cruising The Cut" 10/2/2022. The vlog was a conversation with a guy speaking and answering questions about CRT.Watch Part 2,as he says that boaters can put recycling into general waste bins as people hand sort the rubbish.Thought of you as you have mentioned about your recycle mountain that builds up in your kitchen...HA HA.. Take Care,Chris& Amanda..WAlsall
So happy for you. Can’t imagine going as long as y’all did. Hope the power use is good and not a problem. I’m sure you enjoyed grocery shopping the 1st time having cold storage now. May I ask does the rabbit use a litter box? I have read they are very easy to train. Enjoyed all the different things in this video. The marinas are very nice it’s great that you can get parts and supplies very easy. The potato cooker looks nice sure it’s better than the foil too. Saw someone use the same kind on another video yesterday unfortunately they burned their food put the entire thing in the fire and over cooked the item. Susan
Thank you so much! It was such a big win to finally get a fridge. So far so good on the power, but it's all one big learning curve! Rupey the rabbit does use a litter tray. He's pretty good with it, but can get progressively lazy if we don't stay on top of it. As long as we pick up any rogue poops and pop them back in the tray he's pretty good at it 😊 The marinas are brilliant! They can be costly but they're so convenient and it's nice to support the companies in the boating community. The potato cooker is excellent although it still needs a bit of practise. Ah yes! Heidi! The Narrowboat Pirate. We watched that vlog too, it was hilarious! 😅
Ben and Emily who are narrowboaters have a car/van, so have you considered this as an option? They bicycle to and from their car once their narrowboat is secured. It may help you guys to do what they do. Just wondering.
@@BoatTime I'd check with a marine mechanic or a chandlers should be able to help advise. Taking advice from the community is often good but they don't have to pay the bill if they tell you wrong. I wouldn't be comfortable using just water in an engine when the environment could be freezing. It's one thing to burst a pipe and quite another if the water freezes and cracks your engine. You would need to use a an environmentally friendly type of antifreeze (marine / non toxic / RV) but if it was my boat and it's a sealed system I'd want to find out why you need to top it up particularly if topping up regularly as it means the water is escaping somewhere and then using an environmentally friendly antifreeze. Also a good antifreeze will have some sort of corrosion inhibitor and stop mould and algae growth.
@@tysondundas1947 Thank you for the info and help! We turn the engine on a couple of times a day so it generally keeps it warm and prevents it from freezing too much, but we are going to check now about the anti freeze thank you! Dont worry, we hadnt topped it up for about 5 months so it deffo lasted plenty :)
@@tysondundas1947 upon further research most boaters are saying yes yes to anti freeze not sure where we saw not to but thank god for your comment so we checked haha! There was some in there leftover from last time, phew! But we are now gonna pop out and buy some more!! Thank you again!! Life saver 😊😊
If that is a LEC under counter fridge then, according to the specs. it's 12v 1.14Ah (average) which is just shy of 14 watts. That is considerably less than a 220v (60-100w) fridge. Assuming the fridge compressor runs 12 hours out of 24 then a 100Ah battery (theoretically) will run the fridge for 7 days. However, as you know, you don't ever want to run a lead/acid battery flat as it shortens life. So, if you only have one 100Ah battery then a couple of days between charges should be OK. If you have 2 x100Ah then 4 days. Of course this assumes you don't use the batteries for anything else and as everything works in theory (fantastic place, wish I lived there) your actual experience may differ, this comment is purely to give you an idea.
Yep! It's a LEC 😊 That's really useful to know thank you for crunching the numbers for us! We have 4x105Ah batteries, but because of our work on laptops we have to charge fairly regularly in winter anyway. That's great to know though, we really appreciate it as it can be very complicated!
@@BoatTime It's not that complicated. Think of lecky like water, one of your batteries holds 105 gallons and you shouldn't take out more that 50% without a refill so that gives you 210 gallons between 4 batteries of lecky to use before you damage your batteries by emptying them beyond 50%.Your fridge uses 1.14 (amps) gallons per hour. That gives you a theoretical fortnight (assuming the fridge is on 12 hrs a day) before you need to recharge your power bank. However that isn't real world as there are lots of factors to consider and you also have other items to run. My notebook (for example) requires 130w. That on 12v is 10.8 amps (Watts/Volts = Amps). That only gives you 19 hours of running time before you hit the magic 50% discharge value. Hope that helps, especially the water analogy.
Rufus is the best dog!
He says thank you!! He agrees 🐕🐾
Rufus is so sweet. You could have used him to find the week back home when you were lost.
Rufus never wants to go back to the boat because he loves walks so he would probably take us in the opposite direction 😂
Oh bless your hearts!!! You got a fridge!!!
What a lovely idea to have a cinema with mooring. I like that sort of thing the simple things in life and memorably xx
Yeah, we have never seen one before at a marina but it was lovely! Very small and cute but a nice evening out 😊
I just thought you might like to know. We are retired and when I first saw you I thought not another pair on a boat. I was wrong we have really warmed to you both, your so refreshing and honest. Not all your fans are young.👍
I'm old too, I just want to mother this pair, they're so cute and a lovely couple
I am old 3 and agree what a refreshing couple x
Aw thank you so much!! That’s so sweet and means a lot! We really appreciate you guys 🥰
🥰🥰
Thank you so much! 🥰 we think you are lovely too!
You reminiscing about Nottingham reminds me of the times me and my husband used to go there for ponymeets.. I collect my little pony. Loved it there. Good memories xxxx😊
Love your excitment over the fridge, looking forward to seeing you do the Trent, we loved it.
We had been without one for 7 months haha this was like Christmas!
Trent video is coming out tomorrow 😬 we only did a short section but it didn’t go too well haha!

A man that makes the well being of his animals a priority even on a much needed night out is a man after my own heart. What lucky pets you have.
I've been looking at those stove top potato cookers and the Ridgemonkeys, have you seen them?
I'm with Amy on the salad cream 🤣
Another great vlog, so enjoyed watching it, you do make me giggle.
Aw thank you so much! We do so love our pets, and do our best to make sure they're always happy and safe... although Rufus's constant crying is enough to make anyone question our love for him 😂
Ooh we weren't familiar with the Ridgemonkeys, but they look good! Not sure if our stove is a little too small for it though. Perhaps when we've mastered the potato cooker we'll branch out 😅
Ah +1 for team salad cream! 😂😂 Thank you so much for watching! x
@@BoatTime ridgemonkeys are also good on the hob and bbq, look them up x
You have make iced coffees now! Great vlog xx
Omg so excited for iced coffee in the summer 😍😍
A new fridge, how exciting 👏🏻
That cinema looked so cute and cosy, I’ve added it to our must do list 🤣
After 7 months without one! Woop Woop!! 🥳🥳
Can deffo recommend, it was lovely! 🥰
A refrigerator! Yay! xo
🥳🥳 WOOP
hahaha good ole Wes, love your sarcasm 😂😂 Not many channels on here have me actually giggling out loud. Still binge-ing guys! gotta catch up on all the old adventures too 🥳
Aww, yay! That’s so lovely and such a huge compliment. Thank you for watching!! Enjoy 🥰
I hope the fridge is working out well for you. Not drawing too much power! Congrats
Thank you! We love it, its doing really well with power atm! So far so good 🤞🏻
Over the moon for you both with seeing your new fridge fit in the gap!! Another great longer vlog that captures life on a boat, the highs, lows, brilliant!! Xx
Thank you! We were so excited! It's somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster at times; but all worth it in the end! 😅🥰
Belated , congratulations !! With regards to your new fridge.
Another amazing and fun filled video !
Thank you
Thank you!! We were so glad to get a fridge after about 9 months! 🥳🥳
New fridge!!! I was giggling along with you. You two are the cutest 😭😭😭😂💕
Never been so excited for a white good in our lives 😂 ice ice baby! 🧊
No u 😇🥰
Thank goodness you got ice! A really good video.
Thank you 🙏
Haha the ice was the most important part 😋 thanks for watching!
Hello love that potato cooker wow how cool.
It’s a great little gadget for the winter! 🥰
Whoohoo, fridge time. Keep us posted about the power consumption and what you have decided that goes in. Probably coke, nothing tastes worse than a lukewarm cola.
And think of all the stuff you can keep fresh longer. And ice cream or self made popsicles!
So exciting!! We can have ice, and ice cream, and chilled drinks! What a treat haha! 🥳
Will post an update on how it’s going in an upcoming vlog
Thanks for watching, have a great weekend 😊
So excited that you got your fridge and I bet you were glad it was easy to install. You looked really giddy to be in the bustle of the shops and the marinas😄 Thanks for such a great vlog. I look forward to watching each week. Take care. Nick
Thank you! We were so relieved to find all the wiring was ready to go and it just needed plugging in! Wes was getting so worked up about having to try and wire it up! 😅
The marinas can be so exciting to explore, each one's a little bit different 😊
Thank you so much, Nick! We love having you with us ❤
That little stove pot thing, did you see Heidi on the Pirate boat tried making an omelette in hers lol it didn't work out too well. Your spuds came out great.
Haha yeah we love Heidi was laughing at her omelette bless her! 😂🏴☠️
Definitely better than the ones we tried in the stove!
Sooo happy🎊 you guys got your fridge🧊🧊. 👍🏽
Yay! REFRIGERATOR!!! We cheered and clapped. Love the potato cooker, too. Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog-your exhuberance is infectious. Congrats on your next level cruising skills-we are learning so much from you. Safe travels.
Yay! Haha! Thank you so much that's so sweet 😁 It's a great little cooker that - still needs a little bit of practise but a great use of our stove's heat!
Thank you for the kind words, it means so much to us! ♥ Stay safe!
So cute, always enjoy you two.. Not a fan of vegan food, but enjoy how you do it all. Rufus is so sweet. Thing I enjoy are all the lovely old buildings, we have so few.
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment 🥰 oo yeah some of the buildings can be interesting! We will keep an eye out for some good ones for you!
Congratulations on your new chill box and potty cover! It was such a good feeling to see you guys get so excited over things we take for granted. A nice reminder to make me grateful for the things I have.
Thank you! It's the small(ish) things that have the biggest impact! 😅 That's so sweet that you took that from our experience. It's something we definitely took for granted when we lived in a house too!
Just subscribed to your channel after watching other boaters channels. Keep up fhe good work love the light hearted fun. You produce great vlogs x
Ah welcome! 👋🏻 Thank you so much that means a lot! 🥰
It is very pleasant watching your Vlog, and your videography has improved over the months. Thank you for your efforts keep it up! 😎
Oooo that’s a really big compliment as we’ve been trying! Thank you so much 😊
I watched Heidi manning vlog yesterday she had one of them cooking pots I've not seen them before they look good , enjoy your spuds 😁
Haha yeah we laughed when we saw Heidi show hers! At least we arent the only ones who find them hard to use haha! 😊
Ah yay Barton is my home and saw some lovely shots of my boat 😅 so glad you had a nice time here as it is a great marina ❤
So pleased you finally got your fridge…..whoooo!! You might not run out of food so easily now and you can enjoy some fresh stuff for longer.
Loved that stretch of the T&M apart from that road near the Starbucks……it’s so noisy isn’t it.

I just found you tonight. Loving your videos. I went to Mercia marina today…I always have boat envy. X
Welcome!! Thank you so much 🤗 yeah, we love looking at all the boats too!
I'm wondering if you've bought a multimeter yet? We had a 3-way fridge freezer in our motorhome, gas, 12v, 240v. We were just as excited every time we installed an appliance though. Just started episode 26, still lovin' it. :)
This is near me…I live in a village between Barton and Branston 😄 weird seeing burton on here!
If you liked Westport Lake at stoke you will also like Branston Water park :)
I didn't know you where filming part cracked me up
hi guys,just been watching "Cruising The Cut" 10/2/2022.

I bought a 12v visor compressor fridge draws 40w when running can go down to minus 20
That’s cool!
Did u take Rufus for a walk when u returned from ur cinema date night?
Of course! 🐕🦺😊
When you top your engine coolant water up do you use water or an antifreeze mix?
We just use water 😬 should we be using anti freeze too?
We’ve seen mixed opinions on this in the boating community

Thank you
If that is a LEC under counter fridge then, according to the specs. it's 12v 1.14Ah (average) which is just shy of 14 watts. That is considerably less than a 220v (60-100w) fridge. Assuming the fridge compressor runs 12 hours out of 24 then a 100Ah battery (theoretically) will run the fridge for 7 days. However, as you know, you don't ever want to run a lead/acid battery flat as it shortens life. So, if you only have one 100Ah battery then a couple of days between charges should be OK. If you have 2 x100Ah then 4 days. Of course this assumes you don't use the batteries for anything else and as everything works in theory (fantastic place, wish I lived there) your actual experience may differ, this comment is purely to give you an idea.
Yep! It's a LEC 😊 That's really useful to know thank you for crunching the numbers for us! We have 4x105Ah batteries, but because of our work on laptops we have to charge fairly regularly in winter anyway. That's great to know though, we really appreciate it as it can be very complicated!
@@BoatTime It's not that complicated. Think of lecky like water, one of your batteries holds 105 gallons and you shouldn't take out more that 50% without a refill so that gives you 210 gallons between 4 batteries of lecky to use before you damage your batteries by emptying them beyond 50%.Your fridge uses 1.14 (amps) gallons per hour. That gives you a theoretical fortnight (assuming the fridge is on 12 hrs a day) before you need to recharge your power bank. However that isn't real world as there are lots of factors to consider and you also have other items to run. My notebook (for example) requires 130w. That on 12v is 10.8 amps (Watts/Volts = Amps). That only gives you 19 hours of running time before you hit the magic 50% discharge value. Hope that helps, especially the water analogy.
