What’s Next For Us? Heading Into Year 3 On Our Narrowboat Home Ep 82

  • What are our plans for our 2024 adventures? It's hard to believe that we have been living onboard narrowboat One Day More for almost 3 years now. Join us as we cruise our narrowboat from Crick towards Braunston on the Grand Union Canal and we will share our future plans with you!
    Hello! If you are new here we are Caroline and Pete, and in 2021, after 10 years living in Texas, we sold up and moved back home to the UK to live full time aboard a 60ft narrowboat, One Day More, with our West Highland Terriers! Join us in our day to day life as we continuously cruise the canals and rivers of the UK. All of the ups, and the downs and everything in between!
    If you would like to support our channel you can buy us a coffee or the westies some treats here www.buymeacoffee.com/onedaymoreN. All donations are put back into our channel, we are currently saving up for new audio equipment.

      Our pleasure! It’s lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the vlogs. Alex has written some of the music that I use (the opening few notes is part of a longer piece he wrote) and some other solo guitar pieces. The song we use at the end is actually not one of Alex’s though. It’s Time On Our Side by Ten Towers.

    Gloucester is certainly worth going to. As to going down to Sharpness…….hmmm….. unless you are going to go across to Bristol which really requires a pilot, it isn’t that interesting. The canal is straight as with nothing on the way and Sharpness was very underwhelming. The trip across the River Severn to Bristol would be brave but a great achievement🤪🤪

    • @onedaymoreaboard
      @onedaymoreaboard  Месяц назад +1

      We are not up for being that brave to go across to Bristol having seen a few videos! A bit like when we went down to Boston but decided against crossing The Wash! We’ve heard such mixed reviews about the Gloucester & Sharpness so the jury is still out on whether we go down that far or just turn at Gloucester. I think time will be a factor when we actually get down there. It’s good to hear other people’s experiences though, thanks for watching 😊

    Your vlogs are always so full of interesting things to hear and see that sometimes I miss the obvious. It wasn't until Pete went down in the Watford Locks that I realised you only have 2 solar panels on the roof. Are they 'high power' (non-technical term 🙄 meaning do you rely on a generator or are they strong enough to run all you need?). Your plans for the rest of 2024 look great - here's hoping the weather and the gods are on your side this year. Already looking forward to your next vlog; and seeing you enjoy Sunday lunch 🤞. Cuddles to Hamish and Poppy, and safe cruising to you. ❤

If we ever had a new boat built we would probably add another solar panel though 😊

    Why could'nt you do a u-turn at the marina?

      The marina isn’t a designated winding hole, and some get annoyed if they are used as such, but the actual winding hole is only a little further up the canal so it wasn’t a problem 😊

      @@onedaymoreaboard so basicly, follow the rules and life is much sweeter on the canal.

    On the other hand, I can only understand metres, feet and inches make no sense to me. 18 metres is six storeys, or ground floor, four floors and the roof in building terms.

      We were saying how mixed up we are in the UK using imperial on the roads, with miles and yards yet metric for everything else, but most people of our age still visualise imperial! You mainland Europeans have it sorted! 😂😊

    Where the goodness did the word winding come from. It doesn’t seem to relate to what it means in any way.

      Back in the days when the boats were pulled by horses they used the wind to help turn, hence the term winding hole 😊
