I sat up until 8am this morning after finding this channel and started right from the beginning. I'm up to this episode - Ep58, this isn't helping my insomnia one little bit!
Kath and Anna were born adorable 😢 this was my introduction to them and I love them so much thank you for bringing them and the cats into my life and my RUclips feed🌸
Thank you for the tour. I am from Northern California, where we DO NOT have canals and narrow boats. But a fascinating glimpse aar an unusual lifestyle, and I love the view of England from the canal system..and of course I love your humor. Thanks for the tour.
Dude these boats are frickin awesome. I dont even know how i stumbled on your content but it immediately captured my attention as a boat owner and admirer. I never knew about these types of boats or such canal systems. Simply amazing hobby and well a way of life by the looks of it. Pretty cool stuff
Glad I found your channel. As a South Pacific coast sailor, I still appreciate all boats, and yours is one, as well as those that your review. Thanks for these reviews!
Hello from an Aussie living in Bali Indonesia, sadly no narrow boats here. I love your style and can't wait for more interviews and looks around other people's boats. 😃😃
i think james edge is wrong, i love this idea, being a very nosy person, i cant wait for the next video of someone elses boat, thankyou to you and the girls for letting us all have a good old nose around their boat.
Love seeing inside these little gems. I'm excited to see what comes next. Show more of your own boat of heaven too! like what it is like to watch the sun set with a cup of tea, sitting on the back. stuff like that. Keep up the good work
'Gas filled rust locker hahaha! Very engaging blue and light wood , the mid-ship lounge looks very snug and cosy. Good idea featuring other narrowboats, and of course it gets you out the house ...eh boat, well done Mr Crusing.
Only a few days into your channel and I've learned so much, most of which I had no clue about. I've known Oxford has canals from watching the Inspectors Lewis and Morse, but didn't know the rest of the Britain is crisscrossed with them, that's just one of the many new things I've found out. I had to comment now because you have just answered a question I've had for a long long time. Forever I thought a Quid was a monetary unit consisting of part or parts of a Pound, .75 or 1.25 something like that. Now I find a Quid and a Pound are the same thing!!! Thanks so much for clearing that up for a rather slow American. I've really be enjoying the channel thanks, for posting.
Our favourite narrowboat RUclipsrs all in one video! Love it. Also love a good nose around a narrowboat. We are hoping to purchase next year so love seeing all the options and getting ideas! More please!
Presumably you saw my earlier video about different types of narrowboat? And the Crick Show video with various boats? I will certainly try to do some more as well!
Brilliant. ... seems you already are doing tours....Bravo! That's smashing! love the ladies energy and their lively boat. Absolutely adorable cats. I do query though if there is any issue over security on the boats or canals. I haven't heard anything mentioned. How do they ensure they are safe and their boat, of course not giving any secrets away. more the general topic if security. Thanks for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Cheerio! Have a Beautiful Day!
I don't know how they do it; most boats have locks front and back, with additional bolts and metal bars and big padlocks. You have to be sensible to moor near other boats for company (or away from them if they look dodgy - some of the crime comes from other boaters, alas)
Great vlog as usual the ladies are great and of course the cats . It was nice to see all the boat and it would make a great series to video some boats . Look forward to the next . By the way the survey we had done on the boat we were going to buy passed with flying colours and we are now the proud owners of a lovely boat
Great vlog as usual, nothing like a bit of voyeurism, quite healthy in my view. We have canals in Australia but not canal boats, we used paddle steamers in our early days. I also follow the girls, and Flow with Milo. Keep up your great work, always look forward to your vlogs
Stoke Bruerne has another car park across the canal bridge and up the hill if you are prepared to take a short walk. It is cheaper (or free if you are inclined to ignore the honesty box).
I can feel a full length feature coming along in the not to distant future it's great that you can get together, ah well Christmas is not far down the cut.
Hello from Arightpest the proud owner of the canal boat called belly button moored in sunny/rainy Derbyshire. You would be most welcome to come and have a poke around a very unusual boat as i am told it started life designed to be a steam powered boat but things never workout as planed. Many people say its one of the most unusual boats on the cut and i am very proud to live on her/him. If this as intrigued you have a quick look on the web and put in a canal boat called belly button and i show up on a few web pages. if you would like to come and see her/him let me know. all the best Arighpest.
You might also call this new, ad-hoc, human-and-boat interest series "Over the Taff Rail" or something similarly non-copyright ;-) Very entertaining and informative as usual -- thank you.
Well it certainly took you a bit of time to finally post this video, since we know when the visit actually happened, but I really liked the format. And obviously, the professional edit. I think that this is a winning idea, poking about on other people's boats, especially if you can find ebullient personalities like Anna. I might also note that you seemed really excited, too, to be going socializing. Unfortunately neither Munchkin nor Alice seemed to be ready to perform.
No, it took me about the same as it takes to edit any other - about a morning, all in. I had other videos lined up to publish before this one though. There is, in fact, a schedule of sorts.
I must say I do prefer their boat layout, much rather have the saloon/galley at the business end and the sleeping area at the pointy end, not keen on the walk through khazi though. Plus I also like the semi-trad stern (not their cruiser stern).
Reverse style is more ideal for social cruising, while traditional seems ideal for solo as you right by the bathroom or bedroom to get or get rid of something really quick. I think if I had his I would have a essentials locker right there to reach down and grab hats gloves, boat cloak, protein bar, bottle water etc
The CRT is really good at charging for stuff it seems. Do they also charge you a fee if you fall in the canal? After all you are removing their water with your wet clothes
Thanks so much for sharing this, this is really fascinating! I was curious about something, is the width of your boat the maximum you can have in the canal waterway? Also, the boat looks very heavily constructed to handle buffeting I guess you could call it. Is this common for all boats this size in the canal?
It's the maximum to go anywhere on the canal network. The canals in the south and north are wider and you get widebeam "narrowboats" up to about 12 feet. But all the canals in the Midlands are narrow, so those with bigger craft are stuck in the south or north unless they move it by road!! All narrowboats are pretty solid, as you say because there are bumps and scrapes etc. Typically 10mm baseplate, 6mm hull sides, 5/4mm cabin sides and roof.
Imagine what it would be like if the canals were privately owned. Everything from parking to mooring would cost you half a fortune no matter where it was located. Perhaps a charge per hour at a mooring spot? There'd probably be a fee on how long you've sailed and some BS environmental charge and some more fees on top of that. Water would be £5 a gallon and even walking on the towpaths would probably cost you as well due to wear and tear. See the parking fee as a donation towards, and appreciation for, the maintenance of the canals you enjoy every day for free. It is a socialized system after all :)
Nice I love cats. I agree with the car parking charge as the revenue is needed. Plenty of free parking nearby for those who are prepared to walk 5 minutes.
I saw no alternative parking, all the roads around seemed to be too small and residential use only. I don't disagree with them earning some pennies but a day charge only when you might want only an hour or so is rather inflexible.
How do you guys offord to "live"? what do you folks do living? how do you make money for expenditure? insurance, medical , cloths , fuel, wireless etc...etc...? I am just curious. (I would ask the same question to a caravaner too, so dont take me wrong.)
When you said “porta potty loo”, is that a particular brand of loo, another name for a cassette loo, or both? OR, is it something altogether different?
Porta Potti is a trade name, I think, but they're similar to a cassette in principle but the entire base of the loo comes off rather than you extracting a cassette from within.
Me neither but it happens quite regularly yet the cats generally seem quite OK, paddling to the boat and hauling themselves out on the fenders or similar. Amazing really.
No. I love animals but I don't know what my future holds so I can't guarantee a pet a home & I won't take one on unless I know I'll be able to keep it.
@@CruisingTheCut As a lifelong cat owner I wouldn't get a narrowboat unless I had a cat to keep me company. I just turned 59 this Sept., and my current cat, "Scooter" has been my best friend for nearly 15 years now!
@@CruisingTheCut I recognize that my friend. But, when oh, I'm reaching here, 99% of us have to be at the place of employment (office building or structure) or location, how do you manage or what job do you have or what jobs do other narrow boaters have to provide for a narrow boat lifestyle?
I'm a fan, I am viewing early on with your videos. I'm an American and loving the experience you have given all of us. But, I'm trying to understand the cost from what you relayed in your videos and relate that to how narrowboat owners earn revenue to support their narrowboat life. I want to present this as an honest question.
Hi Lots of jobs these days can be done remotely (as the pandemic has, sadly, shown) - design work, programming, writing, admin, book-keeping etc. Some boaters trade from their boats (ie to passers-by) though this can tend to be more a lifestyle / hobby income than serious monies. For jobs that require attendance at a specific place, boaters would generally be advised to take a permanent mooring and commute from there, treating the boat as a static, albeit floating, home. Many also simply keep moving every two weeks while trying to remain within the vicinity of their job but this runs into problems of potentially breaching the continuous cruising rules, see this video ruclips.net/video/k_p70h-Rxps/видео.html
@@CruisingTheCut Thanks. I am starting your youtube vlog from the beginning. You mention not working, so I assume you have early retired or based on your response now, sought work elsewhere? So, that's the reason for my question about income. I see there are many ways to afford a narrowboat, I was just confused about your comments early on about not working and sometimes you say you have work to do.
Binge watched yesterday, 50 episodes. Had very odd dreams in the night. Think I will set the limit at 25 today.
Haha - were they very slow dreams, at 3mph?!
All I can remember is standing at a lock and diving in after my mobile in an utter panic...
Hahaha
Done the same 😂
I sat up until 8am this morning after finding this channel and started right from the beginning. I'm up to this episode - Ep58, this isn't helping my insomnia one little bit!
"Through the Porthole" what a great idea for a series... more!
:-)

Ohhh i like the sound of more videos like this !! Thanx to the lovely girls for letting us have a nose around their boat with you.
OK, will try to do more!

Nicely turned out boat and love the cats.
Nice to see the layout of different boats. Cat-in-drink score chart has fairly low counts I'm glad to see. Your hosts seem a happy pair too.
They are, they're lovely ladies.
Well thank you very much. Now I have another one to Binge Watch.
What a lovely painting. Not surprised it has pride of place. Another enjoyable vid thanks!
:-)
Glad I found your channel. As a South Pacific coast sailor, I still appreciate all boats, and yours is one, as well as those that your review. Thanks for these reviews!
Cheers!
Love looking at other peoples living places
6:30 Lovely watercolour, but it should be captioned "Cruising the cat"!
thats such a beutiful little watercolour, great vlog thanks
Love poking around other people's narrowboats - there's so many shapes and sizes out there. Keep up the good work!
Thank you
Hello from an Aussie living in Bali Indonesia, sadly no narrow boats here. I love your style and can't wait for more interviews and looks around other people's boats. 😃😃
Thank you. More to come...

Cheers Julie, there'll be more of these, I'm sure ;-)
Love seeing inside these little gems. I'm excited to see what comes next. Show more of your own boat of heaven too! like what it is like to watch the sun set with a cup of tea, sitting on the back. stuff like that. Keep up the good work
Haha, at the moment when I look out of the back of the boat as the sun goes down I'm seeing a dredging boat!! Cheers.
Love those two people !
'Gas filled rust locker hahaha!
Very engaging blue and light wood , the mid-ship lounge looks very snug and cosy.
Good idea featuring other narrowboats, and of course it gets you out the house ...eh boat, well done Mr Crusing.
Haha, yes, gives me something to do!
having been subscribed to both yours an their channel for what seems like for ever this vlog is quite a surreal treat.
Try meeting them ;-)
Haha!
So cool to see you guys colab i like you all so much!
We should have a Narrowboat RUclipsr convention sometime. Let's all meet at Braunston next year :-)
That would be awesome.
I've not seen a central saloon layout before. Most interesting!
I quite like it. The ones I've seen before are more open plan to the galley and dinette.
Only a few days into your channel and I've learned so much, most of which I had no clue about. I've known Oxford has canals from watching the Inspectors Lewis and Morse, but didn't know the rest of the Britain is crisscrossed with them, that's just one of the many new things I've found out.

"Perhaps they heard I was coming." You're very funny!
A very good start to your new series, unbiased and good fun.😺

Loved seeing the narrow boat experience. Girls. From four years ago
Now I really rather enjoyed this ... encore to the viewing of other lucky narrowboat souls!
Your vote duly noted.

By the way the survey we had done on the boat we were going to buy passed with flying colours and we are now the proud owners of a lovely boat
That's terrific news, congratulations!

Thank you, a new channel to watch and subscribe to.
Really fantastic that my fav guys have teamed up.
We're like the A-Team, without the van.
Which one is BA Baracus?
Haha, I daren't say.
Great vlog as usual, nothing like a bit of voyeurism, quite healthy in my view. We have canals in Australia but not canal boats, we used paddle steamers in our early days.

Great again !

Showing in a cinema near you soon... ;-)
Love the videos all the way from the U.S. mate keep doing your thing!
Thank you, will do
An unrepentant punster, I enjoy your episode titles! Regards from Ottawa, Canada, where the Rideau Canal links the Ottawa river to thr Great Lakes.
Thank you! It's getting harder each time :-)
A "Gas Filled Rust Locker"!
Great Vid... LOL "thought he was going to lick his......". 1 and 3/4......that must mean 3 paws in and 1 hanging on....
I think it was one half fall and one quarter fall but yes, something like that!
Nice.... I can see this taking off, community building stuff!!
Hope so!
I have given them a sub and I look forward to watching their videos. Great video as ever. Keep up the good work my friend!
I've only just discovered this. My first thought was £3 for parking - that's fantastic
It's great for all day but when you only want to spend an hour there ... that's why I was annoyed. There's no smaller time option.
I guess if you live in London £3 is nowt
very good series. Would like to have a look inside a 70 foot boat if you get the chance
OK! If I find anyone who's willing...
Nice my favorite guy with my favorite ladies like to see the 3 of you work together. I do prefer cruising the cut's bath i.e. semi private
Wide beams, dutch barges and oddities too please. If you ever see that submarine style canal boat.........
Got my sonar pinging for it all the time ;-)
Nice boat!

We all know the cats are in charge on that boat!
please, show more cupboards 😄
Thanks for the poke n spending 3 quid on us to park gas buggy (car).
Good idea/addition.....
I know! £3!!!! That's going on expenses, Mr Taxman.
At least you have comfort knowing your head taxman will not be little donnie trump.........

I love this vlog. I do hope to see more. Thank you.
P. S. When are you getting a cat. Honestly, you've put it off long enough. 😉

I spend my life on RUclips :-)

Liked this video
How do you fall into a canal 1 3/4 times?
Imagine what it would be like if the canals were privately owned. Everything from parking to mooring would cost you half a fortune no matter where it was located. Perhaps a charge per hour at a mooring spot? There'd probably be a fee on how long you've sailed and some BS environmental charge and some more fees on top of that. Water would be £5 a gallon and even walking on the towpaths would probably cost you as well due to wear and tear. See the parking fee as a donation towards, and appreciation for, the maintenance of the canals you enjoy every day for free. It is a socialized system after all :)
I already pay an annual licence fee for the boat of almost £1,000. I think I make my fair contribution.
I wasn't sure if there was an annual charge or not. Then again, £1,000 is way cheaper than I though it would be compared to owning a house.
My council tax was about £1,000 so it's comparable.
Nice I love cats. I agree with the car parking charge as the revenue is needed. Plenty of free parking nearby for those who are prepared to walk 5 minutes.
I saw no alternative parking, all the roads around seemed to be too small and residential use only. I don't disagree with them earning some pennies but a day charge only when you might want only an hour or so is rather inflexible.
your next challenge is to meet up and interview Jasmin from ThisNarrowboatAdventure (sic) and then Tony Saxby from Buying aNarrowboat (sic)
Jasmin's in London so that might be a way off. Don't know where Tony is. Doubt all the RUclipsrs want me poking around their boats though!!
You haven't been poking around in nearly enough of other people's homes for my taste to be honest where is the rest of this series
Covid said NO to this series.
Show us the interior of your boat as I really want to know about the seats as I know you did the dinette
I did a tour in one of my first videos. I may do another tour sometime if I feel like it.
Free parking just a few locks down & short walk up to SB :-)
Really?? Where?!!
+CruisingTheCut ...by the 2nd lock up, just before the A508 crosses over 3rd lock. There's a slipway there and a large patch of hard standing.
Thank you :-)
How do you guys offord to "live"? what do you folks do living? how do you make money for expenditure? insurance, medical , cloths , fuel, wireless etc...etc...?
I am just curious. (I would ask the same question to a caravaner too, so dont take me wrong.)
We have jobs, like anyone else! Freelancing / self-employed, in these cases.
@@CruisingTheCut GREAT!!!! work through enjoyment. Fabulous indeed!
👍
Have you seen Narrowboat Zero Gravity with Emma & Saxon?
Yes
Are you finding the water ways are overcrowded during the holiday period .
They're certainly quite busy especially when the sun's shining, yes.

When you said “porta potty loo”, is that a particular brand of loo, another name for a cassette loo, or both?

@@CruisingTheCut thanks David.
great video, what are your other interests?
I have a ukulele which I'm playing very badly.
How does somebody fall in the canal 1 3/4 times?
A leg, here and there
So you've been keeping your car in Yelvertoft since you bought the boat?
Only while I was at Yelvertoft and for a couple of months early in the year. I've moved it since then.
Could have done the washing up blimey
How come you disabled ratings mate? Wanted to give a like :-)
They're not disabled, you can still Like. They're just not visible :-)
CruisingTheCut Didn't even realize you could do that haha, well I liked it :-)
Thank you!
I don't like the idea of a cat falling into the cut.
Me neither but it happens quite regularly yet the cats generally seem quite OK, paddling to the boat and hauling themselves out on the fenders or similar. Amazing really.
But how is their health afterwards? Do they get that rat-bug you spoke of?
Posh area?
A 3 kilometer tunnel? Pray you don't break down. How do you keep from getting asphyxiated?
There are vertical ventilation shafts at intervals along the length. Even so, if you're following a smoky boat it can sometimes be a bit fume-ridden.
Has anyone had an engine break down in the tunnel and had to leg it out in modern times?
come visit my boat the only American football collection on the canals. Chicago bears are the team.
I don't really understand what you mean. Collection of what?
+CruisingTheCut collection of American football memorabilia
Oh, I see!
