  • Narrowboat life is full of risks, but one that you might not expect is trying to find the perfect spot. In this episode, we continue up the Grand Union Canal on our little floating home in search of what appears to be the perfect spot. But after assessing the situation for a few minutes, we take a big gamble, and move on ahead. Will the risk be worth it? Or will we regret our decision? 🎲😬

    Sadly bitter lemon suckers will always exist, but instead of being a drain you are both radiators. You radiate joy, happiness and kindness. I know it’s hard when it catches you off guard but try to protect your energy and focus on your lovely cruise and seeing the northern lights. We appreciate your energy and hard work, you bring so many people enjoyment 💜

    Wolverton was where me and Ciara moved all our stuff onto Lavender Lee, and so is quite special to us both. I'm so sorry they were mean Wes, makes me really sad- it always gets to me when someone makes a nasty comment! Really enjoyed this week's video, I found it very calming 💗💗 - Izzie x

    Weirdly I missed this vlog when it came out and have only just seen it but I wanted to say that I love your vlogs and it’s people like you who bring some joy and interest to the canals. The canals wouldn’t survive without people on them. You two are fab. I love your down to earth approach and the inclusive, authentic and open attitude to life that comes across in your vlogs. 😊

    That guy you met is a well known ranter. Don’t take it personally. He had a massive go at me once when I was single handing through cosgrove lock and asked him if he could shut the gate behind me.

    SUGGESTION: when putting away seasonal clothing, perhaps keep 1 outfit aside for the 1st days of changed weather. Also, you could drill holes in the bottom of that tire to allow the water to drain out easier. SO excited to see you both enjoying your lifestyle. Hugs from Louisiana!

    I think G G may need some ex golf buggy tyres to save your paintwork when mooring, at least they are not too big to take up valuable space in your roof lockers but handy to have if needed. It’s so lovely seeing you and some of the other RUclips boaters on Narrow escapes. I feel Wes’s pain with not ready to do the winter clothing swap I’ve been putting it off too 😂🤣 wishing you both and of course the lovely bears a nice bank holiday wknd 🤗PS ignore the negative nellies and just keep being you 🤗

I have seen them with my naked eye twice in my life though, on very cold crisp winter nights. 👍🏼🙋🏼‍♀️

    I get why some people think RUclips has made the canals busier BUT without the videos the canals wouldn't be busy which would mean they'd need more maintenance and the fees would probably be 2X+ what they are now, I'm happy more people are using them and showcasing them not just for us in the UK but for the rest of the world, keep going guys, ignore negative people

    May I ask what the temperature would be when Wes said his legs are sweating in his sweatpants? I'll hazard a guess it was about 23°C. Just FYI for me in 🇦🇺 23C is too cold for swimming and I typically wear long trousers or jeans at that temp or below.

    Do these people who knock you realise if boats don't use the canals they will just silt up. Then they would have something to moan about as the tow paths would be unwalkable and unpleasant.
    Take no notice of them!!!
    Take care and stay safe.
