Let's get real- winter cruising on the narrowboat IS HARD! (Gloucester and Sharpness canal 2021)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- It just started out like any other cruising day in winter- a bit cold but optimistic. Then the ice rain came and some fishermen decided to hurl insults and in one case throw a rock at us!
We never like to sugar coat living on a narrowboat, because we get so many emails from people who are planning to sell everything to embark on this life style, so we do feel a responsibility to tell you exactly how it is sometimes.

My partner and myself are getting concerned that we have not seen any vlogs from you and we do so hope that you both are keeping well ?
Every day we look on YT for “the girls”. Hope you’ll both be back soon with your kitties! 🥰
Hey ladies I hope that everything is coming along well with you but my Sunday mornings are not the same without you.. you were a breath of fresh air all this time... Pls let us know that you both are ok..
I think it speaks volumes for the fishermen that they weren’t there when you returned. They knew they had done wrong
It’s their responsibility to move their fishing gear. I am a fisherman and some of the people that participate in this activity are rude and arrogant. I always try and think of everyone that shares the same facility, or resource. But this is possibly the same in most pastimes.
My guess is that they run away because they weren’t supposed to be there.
Keep smiling.
Where have you gone? We miss you! I hope you are both doing well. Please either return to RUclips or at least let all your fans know what's going on so we don't worry about you
Thinking of you both today for some reason. Missing your narrowboat adventures and hoping you are both well and happy xxx
Please show that solar is not completely useless in Winter as the nay-sayers claim. I know it is not great but they say it provides no power at all. Remind those fishermen that there would be no canal if it were not for the boats and ask the gatekeeper if anything can be done.
We’ve had some really good solar days.... and many where you don’t really get anything. Winter is definitely a mixed bag!
Ladies i miss you please come back. Don’t let the weather stop the show. Here in the USA Michigan we had 10 inches of snow. Lets have a fireside chat and a round of tea!
Missing you gals, and hoping that your plans and dreams are all coming together. Love to Alice and Munchy.
Hi We really miss you guys - weve seen loads of the Lazy Dayz vlogs right up to this last one, but weve gone back to the Ewart vlogs. We just hope you are safe, happy and well. Steve n Joan.
Good to see you back...
An Incomparable Pair.
Shall I compare you both to a summer's day, no, you're brighter and warmer than that.
Shall I compare you both to a rainy day then, no, you're more refreshing than that.
Shall I compare you both to the stars above, no, you're more mysterious than that.
Shall I compare you both to the moon then, no, you're glow lasts longer than that.
Shall I compare you both to time itself, no, you're love and beauty will last longer than that.
So sweet x
Hi folks, how are you both?
Hope you’re staying safe and all is good with you.
Garry & Pam x
We miss you. Hope all is well. Stay safe & hope to see you again soon
Have npt heard or seen anything from you for eight months. Are you still actively living on your narrowboat and cruising? Hope you are both well and happy. Please let us know, a lot of people are concerned for you.
Tom
They are both fine and upload videos to artbyannamarie
Loved it ! Has everything ! Annamarie angry, and giggling. Kath being Kath. Everything I needed right now. Thank You wonderful people ❤️
Hello Ladies, it is so great to see you again! Whilst I appreciate that, for you, fetching water is normally mundane (aside from angry fishermen) your vlogs are a total breath of fresh air for myself and I'm sure many of your followers. Please never diminish how wonderful you are. Thank you. Be well and be safe xx
As a follower of two years, I would like to say this is still my favorite vlog.
I am quite sure that man had a VERY “tiny little pole”! 😂
There are a lot of grumpy people everywhere. It's good to see people like you who can still lift your head and smile when things get rough. Thank you for sharing your adventures wherever they take you.
If your in a tier 4 area. As the fishermen where, they shouldn't be out fishing anyway. Its non essential activity. Shame they weren't there on the way back to show and Shame them. Well done for staying calm.
I thought the same, but appears that it's allowed.
So glad to see you guys are doing ok :) Take care, Stay safe.
Please come back! You were my favorite narrowboat vloggers. I miss you so.
It must be Sunday yippee, the lovely ladies are back with there lovely smiles. I’ll be happy all week now. Missed you.👩❤️👩
Not sure about locked down those anglers should be locked up for bringing my sport into disrepute . The majority of anglers do not behave in such a way . An angler for 60+ years
Rant over nice to see you ladies back on the water and back online .Take care George
I've seen nothing from you for so long (pre-christmas!) that I had to do a search for you, and found this one - which I had no notification of - and nothing since. I hope all four of you are well.
All these things are sent to try us!!
Lovely to see you back, and so joyous, have missed your smiley faces and words of wisdom.
Take care.
With the rain and ice stimulating your senses and the warmth of the hot tea with someone you love ..... it sounds wonderful to me. Keep on ladies and celebrate what life brings you.
Hi girls hope everything is all right as I’m missing you vlog each week come back soon as we all miss you both from Australia 🇦🇺
would like to see a vlog on your winter solar experience so far. Some people are never so happy as when they are finding fault in others lol
I’m so happy to see your cheerful faces again! Please don’t let others steal your joy. Yes, I’m very interested in anything you’re willing to share about solar. Bless you both.
Love the tall pine trees that dot the edge of the canal - they bring me immediately back to "the pond" where I spent most childhood summers. Even the dreary sky can't change the happiness that memory invokes.
Hello dear ladies. So good to see you again. 👍👍👍👍👍
Throwing things is not on so please don't call them gentlemen, they might be fishermen and they can fish anywhere but you have no choice where you can go only along the canal.
Not had internet for 2 months, nice to see you again. You are right, the idiots fishing (essential activity not) are not. Stay safe ladies!
Good to hear from you. I'm stuck in hospital, luckily not Covid-19, and your vlogs always brighten my day. Even if it is a water run on an icy day.
Happy New Year ladies! We were never live a board boaters but we did boat all year round. Yes there were days when it was freezing cold, wet and miserable and the only way to warm up was a hot shower. So pleased you have mentioned the down side of winter cruising it should be considered but we still enjoyed our narrow boating days. Stay safe.
Wow, I thought living on a sailboat seeing the world at 6 knots was a good slow pace! Narrowboat living looks fantastic. I hope you two can keep on keepin on with your chosen life style. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your adventures. It was good to see you two lovely ladies laughing and smiling.
We miss you ladies!
Good to have u back....got a lot if friends that have channels and you get these negative people on EVERY channel u have to ignore them .... love to see a solar vlog 👍❤
TG you're back I was getting withdrawals... lol
I love watching y'all taking us on a tour of the water ways. Love it. Blessed be.
Hi guys, really appreciate you being real and standing up for yourselves. Excellent. Winter’s on the losing end now 😂❤️
Hi ladies long time no hear. Hoping you’re both ok and keeping well.
I'd like to wish you both ALL the best. My worry is that as you haven't replied to anyone missing you, I fear the worst and maybe things have gone belly up in some way. I hope I'm wrong but just to say we are all thinking of you. Again, ALL the best. :-)
Lovely to see you and the cats again made my day look after each other and stay safe x
Lovely to see you ladies. Thank you for taking us along with you.
Good morning. Lovely to see you both out and about again, albeit in the cold. Those ‘so called fishermen’ should be ashamed about their disgusting behaviour. 🤬 Stay warm, stay safe, stay well. 😀
Wonder what the reason to be out fishing would be in T4 lockdown, essential food gathering?
I wonder if the fishermen were overwhelmed with guilt when they realised that you were trying to help out the first chap. They probably had to shame-facedly pack up their stuff and get gone before you returned!
Thank you for your winter's vlog. I promise it's much appreciated and brings a much needed distraction from everyday life on land, which for me living alone, is becoming more difficult with all that is going on at the moment! You two are lovely! Thanks again.
The wife and I are so glad that you shared your Vlog a moment in time. We’re been waiting for your Vlog yes look forward to it every week, so this is treat for us we’ve been locked down for two months so you can see why we’ve been waiting for your Vlog thank you guys. STAY SAFE
Hi girls hope you have a great 2021. Enjoyed the vlog. Stay warm, well and safe.
I miss you two, I hope you’re well.
Thank you Mega-Stars for my lovely G&S fix. I never minded the Winter, it was always so cosy inside. I have never found fishermen as badly behaved of those fellas. You did get me pining for the canals. Knowing that Mrs Mouse is in her marina with her lovely new owner who loves her as much as I did only slightly helps.
So lovely to see you on the move in spite of the weather. You look so well must say can’t inmagine you back on land so take care cats and all
Hooray you’re back!! People like that sham themselves. Very poor behavior. So glad to see you both looking well.
True
Stay tuned for the next episode where our two intrepid heroines install a water canon to deal with rude fishermen.
Thank you ladies what a day !!!! Love to see you troubles and all take care keep well
Great to see you again. You have been missed. Any vlogs about how you get through day to day would be welcome. It helps those of us stuck on dry land to break free mentally. Stay safe.
Morning ladies a cold wet day in the shire.Dont be put off by a few angler's we are a friendly bunch in the the shire. Stay safe and warm.😁😁👍👍
I have no idea what gets into some people those Guys should be ashamed of their selves, their Wives or girlfriends would be so angry if they knew ? Nice Vblog girls , Isn't the Canal for everyone ???? Have a great New Year Girls
Hoping you are all well and excited about getting back on the cut! Hugs to you & pats to Alice & Munchie!
It’s good to see you girls cruising again. While encounters like with the fisherpeople can be very frustrating, try to put in the past, and forget about it. Experiences like that shorten our lives. Happy New Year!
Anyone who willingly engages in a battle of wits with a fish is at best evenly matched!
Yes, please more on the solar would be interesting. Also ts the diesel heating working out well or have you found unexpected snags like getting fuel or it's not working quite like you expected in winter conditions. Brighter days ahead.
Aw what a treat to see you this morning. Great to hear your thoughts on stuff. Take care xxxx
You ladies are can do it people, adventurous and are to be admired for your life of living the good life!
I hope you enjoyed Gloucestershire I live in Gloucestershire it lovey part of country And hope the cats enjoyed too x
We do love it.
I'm worried end of summer and no vlogs for 7 months. Hope you guys are ok, I miss the videos.
Wonderful seeing both of you again! Stay warm!
Have been on the canals four times, but only lived on them for six weeks. However, I have been following narrowboaters' vlogs for years, and I just have to say that you are two of the very nicest people I've come across. I wish you well for the coming years. I'll still be following you. Well done with the horrible fishermen. Thank you for a vlog that has such a nice warm feeling about it.
The Canals were built primarily for boats, so Fisher people must take second place.
I’ve never thrown anything at anyone while fishing. At 68 years old, I guess there’s still time to get it done.
Wonderful to see you both again. Life can be challenging, no matter where you live, but I appreciate your positive outlook. Good going!
Nice to go get water with you guys, and remember if every day was sunny, sunny days wouldn't be special.
If it had been me having items thrown at me by fishermen on the bank I would have got my camera and photographed them and shamed them in the local newspaper. It's a criminal offence to throw objects at passing boats . Like it is to throw stones at passing cars . Stay safe and crack on .
I'd be curious about how the new panels are performing compared to the older one.
So good to see you ! You did have an “adventure” to share with us after all ... Takes us with you wherever and whatever!
Missing you'll, hoping everything is okay❤️.
I wonder if those "gentlemen" would have done the same if two burly men had been on board? I suspect not.
Winter can be hard wherever you live. You take the good with the not so terrific and decide what works for one's own self. Stay well. Pleasure as always to watch your vids - thanks for them.
Addendum: As previously owning a sailboat, your straight forward honesty is right on👍
Yay! You're back.
You know what they say about fisherman? A Sprat at one end of the pole and a PRATT at the other.
You need a " supersoaker" to return fire. Lol
With some "gentlemen", the "tiny pole" is the source of many problems.
Hi! Thanks for the vlog. I always enjoy your work. As for the " fisher men", your generous spirit and willingness to show consideration to others is a great example to other canal users. Stay safe and well. Best wishes.
Ah! my lovelies...is there any such thing as a grown man....at heart they are all little boys....still keeping bits of string and useless things in their pockets. Great vlog. Living on your lovely boat is just like us in our cute rancher. Trees to trim, gutters to clean, leaks to fix..and on and on. Life is a journey, everyday an adventure. Live it, enjoy it...you both so obviously do and you share it with us...so thank you for that. Love and hugs as always.
The canals were built for boats. Fishing is a by-product.
I don't like fishermen either. They are often rude and hostile.
No discussion. The canals are made for navigation. All other activities must have second priority. You are on the right side! 👍
Thank you for another vlog.
Love from Denmark ❤
WOW! What an eventful, uneventful day. Thank you for sharing.
Good to see you again and i agree with you
You two are so great to watch. Big hugs to all four of you. Stay safe. Xxxx
Greetings from Australia where it is currently 37°. I never thought I'd watch canal boats but stumbled upon your channel 6 months ago and found it a great way to relax.
Lovely to see you ladies back on a cold grey winters day,also pleased to see Alice and Munchie as I was getting concerned as to how they were taking winter on the Narrowboat.Our girl Mindy just pops out briefly then sleeps in front of the Halogen heater in my 'Man Cave' Keep safe.
Lovely to see you again can't help feeling mooring the cut has the best solution for winter he has water and mains power next to his boat and a chandler for fuel and gas and no stropy fishermen to bother him
Oh I’ve missed y’all so much! I was almost ready to take up painting...like I need another craft! Stay safe and warm.
Good to see you back👍
Love you folks. You always bring a positive experience to the vlog.
I enjoyed my morning input of Narrowboat Experience! Missing your vlogs, but I am glad that you are both well.
