Some off us are waiting for the right opportunity to come along so we too can own a canal boat Watching your videos and you going on your trips is a close second best for me Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Betty
Watching your videos always brings a calm, serene start to my mornings. As I watch and enjoy my coffee it is almost as If I am there with you enjoying the peacefulness of the day. Thanks again.
Thank you for another lovely upload - Just recently my stress levels have been horrendous - but watching another Betty upload has made me realise that the World is an OK place once again! Thank you for sharing
Thank You Betty for taking me with you on another step of your journey. Your videos are always so peaceful and soothing and given how hectic life can be, they are a bright ray of sunshine! My hat is off to you!
Hurray, another beautifully calming video from Betty. What a treat, thanks Betty. Btw, I stayed in Penkridge a few times for my job. It's a fabulous little place.
Thanks! Really enjoying your videos as I was born in Bridgnorth and spent many years in that area brings back lots of memories. Live in Canada now keep up the good work.
Another lovely chilled Betty Vid .... thats a very clean bright coat to be climbing up those slimy lock ladders ...... your settling in nicely to making vids .... nerves have settled and your looking a natural..... keep up the good work.
Hi Betty , thank you for another lovely video and a snap shot of what you do ! Just want to say that i really admire your positivity on life and your calming influence you have on us all. I hope your father is still doing well and wishing you all the very best for the future, keep on smiling !
Enjoying watching as its where I did my Solo trip in August so brings it all back, glad u mentioned that Lock just after Penkridge with no where to tie up, especially difficult if a Solo Boater & no one around. Stay safe, cu on the next vid😊
I can see how easy it must be to make friends on a canal. All the canal holidays my wife and I have had in the past we could see how friendly people were. It's such a slow calm way of life.
Thanks! I used to support another narrowboat on Patreon but instead I like to send you a little each month. I really enjoy your videos. It feels like a cruise with you 🙂
Such polite & helpful people you seem to meet! I think the slower pace of life & surroundings help with that nice attitude. Thanks for chilling me out once again! Take care 😊❤️
Captain Betty is an awesome skipper of her narrowboat. I enjoy her videos and her voyages on the canals in the UK. Thank you Captain Betty for the narrowboat ride.
The last couple of weeks have been really crap for me; feeling down and fed up with it all, but your videos are such a nice break; I'd love to step into that world, even for a minute.
I love watching your videos! My parents live two minutes walk from their local canal in the peak district and it looks just like your canal (don't all canals look the same?!), so I always feel a little bit homesick when watching your videos.... but I will be seeing them at Christmas and I absolutely can't wait!!! Looks so cold on the river... today I recovered my gloves from my winter clothes box as I think we will be needing them this week! Great to see you looking well and happy. All my best wishes to you, from another girl living on their own in a tiny house. :)
A lot of canals do look similar to be fair! Are they near the Peak Forest canal? I hope to go up there myself eventually. I’m now wearing my winter clothes - I need to get my mittens out though!
@@bettyonaboat Yes, they are in the part of the Peak Forest canal where it runs close to the River Goyt. It gets cold and snowy in the winter up there though, because of its location relative to the hills. Beautiful scenery on a snowy day though. Mittens are perfect for pushing around snow! :)
Thank you Betty, cruising the canal with you was excellent. And the locks were easy 😂 hoping you and your family are keeping well. I will look forward to the next trip.
Oh how excited I get when I realise my favourite Narrowboater has put out yet another wonderful video! Betty, are you going to give us a tour of your boat? What is her name? Looking forward to the Q&A soon. Keep up the fabulous videos xx
Hi Betty, always a pleasure to watch your video's. Your videos are always outside, could you do one of how you live inside, thank you, look forward to your next one all the best. Roger
Now that's a hood!😊 Cold days in the countryside are the best. Especially on your own. I can go fishing in crazy cold weather and I don't care if I don't catch anything. The solitude wins. 😊
I keep meaning to do a video showing more of the inside. I was about to film one the other day but then I realised my front fender had been stolen and it put me in a miserable mood!
Those leaves look kinda pretty floating by ❤ oh so much colour to see on your sedentary lifestyle on the beautiful canal. Never a dull moment 😂 helpful community and Kate must of thought of you on your own Betty 🤗 getting colder now, hope you’re warm. ☺️
Always so lovely to spend another morning with you Betty. I'm getting to check out where you are in satellite imagery and see the surrounding country. Our choir is touring in UK from Australia next year so you are showing me a different side to the country.
Nice to see your smiling face Betty and what wonderful people on the canal helping one another out. I bet you’ve had a nice couple of days with the snow this week. Take care and hope to catch you on the next one x
Loved this one. And not far away from my hometown of Stafford which you covered in previous videos. Makes me consider going on a canal cruise next year 😆. I'll take my son. He did a 3 week trip from Stone about 9 years ago. Including the Llangollen
What an amazing video Betty!!! All this beautiful scenery matches perfectly with this autumn weather. I can imagine all the hard work you have to move your boat from one place to another in these canals, from carefully steering your boat, getting in and out from times to times to opening and closing the locks to go through each one of them, until you find a good place to dock your boat. And all these tasks done only by you. This is really impressive! I wish you a wonderful day! 🙂🛥🦆🦢🌹
still get the heeby geebies when your in a lock looks so claustrophobic!great to see how all you boaters help each other out worked in Penkridge the other day lovely place thanks for another update Betty stay warm the temperature has plummeted last couple of days here in Brum 🙂
This might sound odd but when I was looking behind me in one of the locks in the video I suddenly thought, “Wow, I’m really high up here.” It had never occurred to me before because the boat rises gradually but there was a massive drop the other side of the lock gates.
@@bettyonaboat I know most canals aren't actually that deep but when you see the brickwork towering above your boat when the gates open and then you have to climb the ladder agghh dont know how you stay so calm about it all😱 great to watch tho really enjoy your posts looking forward to your winter adventures
I too visited Penkridge market with my Nan & Grandad when I was a kid, you had a bit of luck with those locks and the nice lady helping, it must take ages on your own!
Ahh great memories of Penkridge dear, myself and two friends hired a 50ft narrowboat for 1 week we travelled the Cheshire ring, stopping at almost every pub on route, loved the tranquilty of the canals, unfortunately I bought a house instead of a boat later,but wish I bought a boat instead, happy cruising Betty😄
Yet another lovely vlog. I simply love your vlogs Betty. Your lovely nature is there for us all to see. Long may you continue to let us having glimpses of your life upon your narrowboat 😊😊
Great choice of music for the video. It perfectly fits the pace and lifestyle. This was a very calm and pleasant video to watch. So nice for a change in a world where everything seems so crazy right now.
Brilliant video as always Betty. It's great to see you again. I love the lifestyle of the narrow boats which you have brought through your videos. Have a great weekend Betty when it comes.
Thanks for another fab trip Betty. Glad to see you have a new fender sorted 😀Looked a bit tricky climbing the lock ladder, a hot chocolate with squirty cream is the way to go 🙃. Best wishes (Tim) Stafford.
Another lovely video betty, absolutely loved it. It was nice to see the woman from the other boat helping you with the locks after seeing you was on your own as it shows how people can watch out for each other. Hope you and your family are all doing well sweetheart ❤
Yet another brilliant Vlog on the canal. Yes I have to agree, this time of year is a wonderful time with the changing colours and the sun low in the sky. Getting Chilly now though. I really look forward to your videos. Many Thanks Betty.
Always look forward to these updates and videos. Nice and relaxed and I try and look out for locations and landmarks I know as this is so local to me being in Wolverhampton.
Hiya Betty! lovely to see another vlog, I’ve been watching from the beginning and it’s great to see your confidence grow in every way, it’d be nice to see one every week but I realise it takes a lot of setting up, take care 👍 Terry
Thank you for watching from the start! I wish I could make more videos but I’ve had a really busy year with work and various other things. I plan to keep making the videos though as they’re a nice distraction for me!
If more people were like Betty the world would be a better place.
Ahem, the world would be a betty place... :D
I think boat of us would agree on that! @@patrickmaloney6440
No matter how stressed or hectic life becomes, a trip with Betty on her boat is guaranteed to make me relaxed and calm,
Thank you, that’s really nice to hear!
Some off us are waiting for the right opportunity to come along so we too can own a canal boat
Watching your videos and you going on your trips is a close second best for me
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Betty
I love your videos so calming and very well done thank you Steve.
Exactly what I was thinking.
You always make life on a narrow boat attractive, but will you do a video showing any pitfalls of life aboard? There must be some.
Please don't ever change the way you present these blogs. So relaxing and peaceful. You are the antidote to this stressful world. Thank you Betty.
We love our Betty catch ups, just smiling watching each video, no gimmicks just the sweetest human on youtube!
Well said. She is so much down to earth. Greetings from Denmark.
Watching your videos always brings a calm, serene start to my mornings. As I watch and enjoy my coffee it is almost as If I am there with you enjoying the peacefulness of the day. Thanks again.
Have to say yours is one of the few channels I actually look forward to seeing in my youtube notifications.
Thank you, that’s really kind!
"Bit of multi-tasking there." Who didn't smile when the whipped cream came out?!" Loved it.
Thank you for another lovely upload - Just recently my stress levels have been horrendous - but watching another Betty upload has made me realise that the World is an OK place once again! Thank you for sharing
Nearly up to a Million Channel views Betty well deserved it's so relaxing watching you boat and listening to you chat x
Thank You Betty for taking me with you on another step of your journey. Your videos are always so peaceful and soothing and given how hectic life can be, they are a bright ray of sunshine! My hat is off to you!
Always nice to see your beautiful smile when you lean in to talk to the camera. Stay safe and thanks for making my day that much brighter.
Hi betty you are the smartest dressed canal boat lady I’ve ever seen greet video ❤
Those are my thoughts exactly.
Just what the Doctor ordered, a chilled out video to take my mind off tomorrow’s events.
My Dads funeral 😞
Thank you for the brief respite.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. 😔
Always look forward to your videos, so relaxing to watch . Nice one Betty xx🙂
Hi Betty, another great video enjoyed watching and look forward to them coming up. So relaxing and you keep calm well Done, thankyou.
Hurray, another beautifully calming video from Betty.
What a treat, thanks Betty.
Btw, I stayed in Penkridge a few times for my job. It's a fabulous little place.
Thanks! Really enjoying your videos as I was born in Bridgnorth and spent many years in that area brings back lots of memories. Live in Canada now keep up the good work.
Bridgnorth is lovely! I’m planning to visit for a walk along the River Severn when I get a bit closer. Thanks for your generosity! ☺️
Always good to see Betty back on her boat, I hope the person that was posing as her, now realises Betty is the Real Deal and We All Love her.
Another lovely chilled Betty Vid .... thats a very clean bright coat to be climbing up those slimy lock ladders ...... your settling in nicely to making vids .... nerves have settled and your looking a natural..... keep up the good work.
Oh goodee! Betty is back in her boat! :)
Yes I am! 😀
Another lovely vid, as many others have said its great to watch your journeys afte a stressful day. Been on the water is a nice pace of life 😊
I echo everyone below - a lovely, calm, open and honest video that takes away stresses. Thank you again.
Thank you for your video’s they warm my heart and your beauty makes my eyes smile.
Your jacket is the colour of autumn leaves. Nice relaxing video 😊
Yes that occurred to me afterwards! It fits the theme of the video!
Hi Betty, In these cold and damp autumn days, your videos always bring a little sunshine!😊
Another enjoyable vlog Betty. Thank you. You are so polite and such a kind person, the world needs more like you!
Thank you, that’s really kind!
Seriously, so enjoyable being in your company Betty. Thank you.
Thanks for your videos I have watched them all . They take a lot to put together , stay safe.
Hi Betty , thank you for another lovely video and a snap shot of what you do ! Just want to say that i really admire your positivity on life and your calming influence you have on us all.
I hope your father is still doing well and wishing you all the very best for the future, keep on smiling !
Enjoying watching as its where I did my Solo trip in August so brings it all back, glad u mentioned that Lock just after Penkridge with no where to tie up, especially difficult if a Solo Boater & no one around. Stay safe, cu on the next vid😊
Thank you Betty! Please keep posting vlogs. I understand that it's a lot of work, but it's so much appreciated. Best to you!
I do plan to continue. I just feel bad that I can’t post as many videos as some of the other channels!
Its good watching your videos as ive cycled most of the routes your doing so i can recognise most of it. Nice compact little narrowboat you have.
I love to watch your videos. The hot chocolate with the whipped topping made me get up and fix one for myself. Cheers from the center of the USA.
You can’t beat a hot chocolate on a cold day!
I can see how easy it must be to make friends on a canal. All the canal holidays my wife and I have had in the past we could see how friendly people were. It's such a slow calm way of life.
Thanks! I used to support another narrowboat on Patreon but instead I like to send you a little each month. I really enjoy your videos. It feels like a cruise with you 🙂
Thank you, that’s really kind and it all helps towards my boat maintenance and fuel costs! 🙂
Such polite & helpful people you seem to meet! I think the slower pace of life & surroundings help with that nice attitude. Thanks for chilling me out once again! Take care 😊❤️
Yes there are some lovely people along the canals and people often help each other!
Another lovely, natural video. Thank you Betty.
Captain Betty is an awesome skipper of her narrowboat. I enjoy her videos and her voyages on the canals in the UK. Thank you Captain Betty for the narrowboat ride.
Just lovely Betty🥰
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you Captain B for yet another wonderful sail along the canals🙏❤I suddenly have a craving for hot chocolate🙈See you next time🍁
I had chocolate Oatly and I would recommend it! (Not sponsored. 😂)
@@bettyonaboat Thank You, I will try that! now that I'm finally free from my Oatly Barista addiction😂
Thanks again for the adventure . Love when you lean into the camera and see your natural beauty. Don't worry I am in the USA.
Lovely to watch you boating again Betty, keep them coming!!! Bri.
The last couple of weeks have been really crap for me; feeling down and fed up with it all, but your videos are such a nice break; I'd love to step into that world, even for a minute.
Hi Betty, my breath of fresh air. Your videos give a lot of pleasure to an old man.xx
*She's back! Love to you Betty!* 💓😘
Wonderful travel adventure on a chilly day. the furry coat, the whippcream on cocoa and yur eyes💚💙. Be blessed🙏🙏
Another relaxing voyage with the most adorable Betty.
What a lovely, peaceful and relaxing end to my day. Thank you!
Good to see you back, some nice scenery around. I was half expecting Marsh mellows to appear on the cream. Stay well.
Ha, I didn’t have any marshmallows unfortunately!
I love watching your videos! My parents live two minutes walk from their local canal in the peak district and it looks just like your canal (don't all canals look the same?!), so I always feel a little bit homesick when watching your videos.... but I will be seeing them at Christmas and I absolutely can't wait!!!

All my best wishes to you, from another girl living on their own in a tiny house. :)

Another great relaxing, soothing video. I don't know if you boat during the winter months but your videos will be missed if you don't.
There will be winter videos too! I plan to do a video each month as I’ve been really busy with work.
@@bettyonaboat Excellent. I will make sure I have a nice crackling fire going while I watch your videos.
Thanks Betty, always a lovely way to de-stress before going off and facing the world for the day.
I always enjoy watching your videos they are always so relaxing
Seeing this I realise I need a coat like that.but a blue one,looks nice and warm .
Hello from Kansas! Glad to see you out and about! Looks like a nice, calm day for cruising! Thanks!
Thank you and hello from England, which is currently quite cold!
@@bettyonaboat Yep! it's 36F here in LaCrosse Ks.
The genuine joy I get when I see your latest video in my subscription! Genuinely enjoyable. Please never stop. 😊
Thank you, that’s so nice to hear! I don’t plan to stop, even though the videos are a quite sporadic!
Thank you Betty, cruising the canal with you was excellent. And the locks were easy 😂 hoping you and your family are keeping well. I will look forward to the next trip.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the next one! 🙂
Nice vlog B especially watched with a cuppa n choccy biscuit,,laid back n relaxed.⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m having a cup of tea myself! ☕️

@bettyonaboat in style 😊
Thanks for the trip nice helpful people along the way hope all is well and take care 🙏🏼
Watching while it’s snowing where I am (Kentucky, USA), so that hot chocolate looked good. 👍 Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing your life. I always feel more calm after your videos.
Would be interesting to see your accommodation on the boat .
I very much enjoy your laid back videos .
I keep meaning to do a video showing more of the inside. I was about to film one the other day but then I realised my front fender had been stolen and it put me in a miserable mood!
@bettyonaboat shame
I really like your videos. It's a good thing to see women out on the canals. You're a role model for other women to get out and do the same thing!
Thank you, I always like to see other women on the canals. I wish there were more of us!
Heidi love her. @@bettyonaboat
Hello. I feel totally relaxed after watching this. Take care in this cold snap. I love winter cruising. ❤

It was good to have some help from Kate this time! It was definitely daunting when I first got the boat but I really enjoy moving it now.

Love that stretch. But oh my, the squirty cream 😮 I laughed out loud when that appeared. Keep going you are brilliant 😊🎉
Will be interesting to see life on the boat in the cooler seasons. Great video as always.
You seemed really chipper and happy in this episode! Nice to see you smile😉
I think I felt a bit more comfortable filming myself! I’m generally quite a cheery person in real life!
@@bettyonaboat You’re a boating legend! Keep on smiling😃
I too visited Penkridge market with my Nan & Grandad when I was a kid, you had a bit of luck with those locks and the nice lady helping, it must take ages on your own!
Yes it was lucky! Having help definitely made it easier!

It’s always a struggle to find music I can use because of copyright issues, so I’m glad you like it!
Nice to see you back Betty hope your well
Wish I could stand in front of a camera and look so calm and natural, keep the great videos comingx
Lovely video , you've mastered control of your boat well done 👏. Subbed
Brilliant video as always Betty. It's great to see you again. I love the lifestyle of the narrow boats which you have brought through your videos. Have a great weekend Betty when it comes.
Thank you! Only a couple of days until the weekend now!
Thanks for another fab trip Betty. Glad to see you have a new fender sorted 😀Looked a bit tricky climbing the lock ladder, a hot chocolate with squirty cream is the way to go 🙃. Best wishes (Tim) Stafford.
This was filmed before my fender was stolen but I’ve hopefully got a replacement lined up. 🤞
@bettyonaboat Hehe sorry my bad, I should have recognised it 😅 Hope you get one sorted soon, Tim.
I always enjoy your videos, it seems you grow in confidence with each one. Good luck, take care.
Another lovely video betty, absolutely loved it. It was nice to see the woman from the other boat helping you with the locks after seeing you was on your own as it shows how people can watch out for each other. Hope you and your family are all doing well sweetheart ❤
Yes it was very kind of her!
So nice to see another video from you as they are always so upbeat and happy, thanks and stay well.
Yet another brilliant Vlog on the canal. Yes I have to agree, this time of year is a wonderful time with the changing colours and the sun low in the sky. Getting Chilly now though. I really look forward to your videos. Many Thanks Betty.
Hi Betty, love your videos. Can you do a video please giving us a tour of the inside of your boat? x
I do plan to do this within the next few videos!
It is so calm and relaxing travelling with you (at 4 mph?) and seeing the local scenery. Thank you for inviting me along.
It’s probably less than 4mph with my boat! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. 😊
Lovely cruise. Good to see help is always there for solo boaters. Love the multi tasking bit lol. Best wishes.
Yay, Brilliant, missed this... make sure you wrap up... Brrrrrrrr 🥶🥶❄❄❄❄
Hello Betty, lovely Autumn day for a nice cruise through the lock system .Hot chocolate with whipped cream looks very tasty! 😁😁
It was very tasty!
The pace you set your boat at ads so much more to the overall picture Betty.What a trim beauty she is, that's the boat and Betty.
Always look forward to these updates and videos. Nice and relaxed and I try and look out for locations and landmarks I know as this is so local to me being in Wolverhampton.
Thanks for the ride, I hate I can't be a more helpful deck hand. It's good to see you again.
Hiya Betty! lovely to see another vlog, I’ve been watching from the beginning and it’s great to see your confidence grow in every way, it’d be nice to see one every week but I realise it takes a lot of setting up, take care 👍 Terry
Thank you for watching from the start! I wish I could make more videos but I’ve had a really busy year with work and various other things. I plan to keep making the videos though as they’re a nice distraction for me!
@ I totally get it Betty, I’ll be watching whatever, take care and most of all stay safe 👍
Thank you, Betty - so lovely to catch up with you again and to have you share your Autumn with us!
