We’ve always wanted to find an alternative way of living and the idea of moving onto a canal boat came to us in September 2018. In January 2019 we bought Alba! Watch the full story here: bit.ly/AlbaEpisode5

Lovely scenery and accompanying music. Quite serene. I thoroughly enjoy the historic additions. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks and appreciate you lovely comment 💜 xx
I could have watched this for a lot longer, well done
Mates that looks so picturesque,all I can say is bugger that !
Lol... when your fire alarm went off, my little dog went bonkers barking and trying to bite the phone ! Have missed you all. Take care
Some people binge watch Netflix, not me! I binge watch Cruising Alba. In my chaotic life that is driving a truck watching these videos is so much more than relaxing. I love this channel so much, there is something about it. Thanks guys, safe travels 🤗.
Thank you so much for your kind words Sam! Its immensely rewarding to know our films are helping you to relax. Sending you love 🥰
I binge watch it in bed. I love it, and Marina has such a relaxing voice ❤
i am so in love with your personalities. your content has gone from strength to strength... congratulations.
Outdoor scenes look like a fairy tale.wonderfull filming
Brilliant absolutely wonderful video loved everything and a joy to watch.
So glad you liked it Dave, hope you’ll stick around for the rest of the adventure with us 💜 xx
I must admit i love the snow, but we don't get very much in the uk, ,and i just noticed what beautiful blue eyes you have , your fella is a very lucky guy ,keep up with the videos, 😁👍
Doesn't the beauty of winter make up for the cold, you have to be very careful walking on your boat in winter, the canal would be very cold, but you both are very confident in water, I am afraid of water. Thank you for your videos I never miss one and your banter and humour makes me laugh.
Boy you 2 are so funny in the best way. I had a big smile the whole volg .In my home town we had about 7 or 8 in of snow .Had to clean a 350 foot long drive way . Loved the video stay safe keep thim coming GOD bless.
Love the new opening credits. Happy times in the snow and wonderful Bradford Upon Avon
Glad you like it David 💜 xx
Looks👍like the snow was fun but cold. Lights look good.
What a Winter Winderland, beautifully vloged Marina & Myles. I hope the moisture traps work for you. Marina you must have very warm hands to defrost the ignition 😂 Myles was in particular good form, made me laugh often. I think this weather brings the best out in you Marina, looking well at home and that magical sparkle you have when you engage with nature . Loved it thanks guys 👍❤️
Never seen anyone so happy to see snow, I saw it once in 1983 and it looked pretty but once was definitely enough.
Good job
Thanks for the wonderful video and greetings from the colonies!!
Doesn't Alba look lovely in the snow. We spent a day tooling around Bradford. Loved it...wish we could have spent more time there.
Can you please do a video of the surrounding areas when you moor and more shopping videos! We love shopping videos 😆. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thank you Amanda, we'll try to get out more when we can 💜 xx
Doesn't Alba look lovely covered in snow set amongst the snow draped trees and frozen canal 😊 a great vlog with u both doing a few odd jobs. Have a nice weekend xx💜
Thank you so much for watching Simon, glad you enjoyed it 🥰💜 xx
A bit of advise for frozen locks... pour a bit of alcohol on the keys before inserting in the locks, if you still cannot get the key in the lock, then put a drop of alcohol in the lock
One of my fav episodes; I return to it again and again. Some of the 146K views are mine!
Haha thanks for watching and re-watching 💜 it means a lot to hear that xx
aww poor ducks but i guess they are quite well insulated against the cold
As always a brilliant vlog. Marina, the look on you face when you came out into the snow was priceless. Seemed to make you think of home. Take care and stay safe. Martin.
Always entertaining, always beautifully filmed, always charming. You're a tonic. With gratitude for your hard work on creating these films. Best wishes, David O'🥰💗♥️🌈💎🙏✨👏👏xxx
We enjoyed Bradford on Avon last year! Was a lovely place and we look forward to going back 👍
Outstanding as usual, I always look forward to this time on Fridays. Bear x
Thank you so much Brian 💜 Bug hugs 🥰
Love your old hand iron I saw on the stove, I have a collection of them
It looks romantic there
Snow looked beautiful.
Thank you for watching Teresa 💜🥰 Big hugs xx
Tremendous 👏👏👏
You guys are an adorable couple! Very nice video also, thank you from the U.S.!
A lovely tour at the end.Thank you for sharing your life on a narrow boat!
A beautiful winter wonderful wonderland seeing the canals in snow so lucky we never had any snow in somerset thanks for sharing xx
We were lucky to get it here in Wiltshire it felt like we were the last in the country to get it 💜
Deya! The saturated range are fantastic. I may be biased as I used to live within walking distance of the brewery...
The snow is absolutely extraordinary. We never get that here in Australia so what a treat to see it in England. Bradford on Avon looks wonderful. What a charming town. I've only been to Bath and Stratford on Avon so you're both showing me this is such a wonderful experience. Thank you so very much Myles and Marina. Best, David
Thanks for the vlog guys, awesome as usual 😀🙏
Awww glad to hear that Wayne and thank you so much for watching early on, it means a lot! 💜
I never knew that London can have snow .. good to know
You guys are excellent film makers what a fun channel, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words Brett 💜 xx
Stunning drone shots.
Next time you guys are in Bradford-on-Avon, drop me a line! I'm a local and would be able to give you a tour of all the best bits. I'm happy you were both able to enjoy the beautiful town.
It is beautiful with the snow. I really think you could use a little wider plank to walk on the boat so you don’t fall into the canal😂
Nice video.
Another great relaxing video, thank you x
This is my fave video of yours 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awww thanks Maria, that means a lot!
Myles and Marina, Great Vlog as always. Video looking good with a great cometary. Always enjoy your Vlogs. Interesting that the key would not go into the ignition start, as it was frozen. Take care, and see you both next week.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind message. Love that you are enjoying our films. Big hugs and have a lovely weekend 💜 xx
What a great lifestyle, and what a beautiful country you live in! I have been to Europe several times, but I have never been to England. I would love to go. I am especially fascinated with the canal system and the narrow boats.
This was terrific! I am going to put Bradford on Avon on my visit list
You two are so sweet together x
Bradford on Avon is one of my favourite little towns, and I've cycled up those hills through the town. I used to like the canal side cafe called the Lock Inn.
you're videos always make me smile : )
wonderful video thankyou
You two have lovely relationship ! Such equanimity!
You guys are brilliant your vlogs really cheer me up bless you both x
Thanks Anne, so glad you are enjoying them 🥰💜 Big hugs xx
Woohoo it's that time of the week already!
Most enjoyable as always guys.
I like the updated intro too.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks Chris, good to know 🥰 Have a lovely weekend xx
so nice look
Those moisture traps work really well, you can also use bowls of salt, just normal table salt.
Be 😊 Happy
Just watched your episode in Bradford on Avon and seeing it’s my birth town I’m obviously biased about the place…. Hope you enjoyed it there, and I enjoyed watching your time there……..
That was a nice fall of snow and how you both enjoyed it. Just like a couple of children. I'm 79 and always look forward to a good covering of snow, although it's been quite a few years since we had a decent fall. Marina, you said it was just like home, so where are you from? I don't think I've ever heard you say.. What did you think of Bradford on Avon? It's a lovely place. I've been there many times. I've actually walked the canal from there to Bath, albeit in two parts. You've got the two aqueducts ahead of you and some very beautiful scenery. xx
Can you get electric dehumidifiers in the U.K. they are used in the tropics and it’s amazing how much moisture they suck up. They make a terrific difference, worth looking into, cheaper than getting expensive mould problems.
We've not see any 12v dehumidifiers that are big enough for the space...
Nice video!
Unlike us, ducks are cold-blooded.
you have got a lovely smile )
Just spent 5mins checking my fire alarms, to find the beeping !
I just knew that your filming of the recent snow would be amazing - and it was! Love that you captured the sound of the snow crunching underfoot at 6:44! And yes, definitely support local businesses :)
I love watching you guys,just lovely people. Take care and stay safe xx
Please be careful with those moisture collectors the liquid which they contain is corrosive and will spoil furniture and fabrics, When emptying it is best to use a bucket as it is hard to avoid spillages. Please take care.
Your videos are amazing guys. Marina’s commentary is so soothing and Myles’s sense of humour is top notch (like his hair). ❤️ x
You guys are awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!! Have fun out there ✨💖
Wonderful Bradford-on-Avon! Beautiful scenery. Great filming. So far, what is your favourite canal that you have traveled on?
Thanks Charles, probably K&A👌
First time viewer. I have watched many of your episodes and thought I’d subscribed but just discovered I hadn’t.
Anyway, I really enjoy your low key lifestyle and it’s a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you 🙏
Love the videos.....but I'm wondering if you have put the subtitles on your videos....stay safe.....xx
Hi Martin, yes every video should have subtitles, at least all of the recent ones
G'day to you both from Penrith in Australia. It never snows here even in the coldest Winters. I just love seeing UK Winters. It looks so magical with all that snow. Cheers.
For every degree warmer the atmosphere holds 7% more moisture. Not sure if your fireplace is sucking air from outside the boat or inside the cabin but if inside, it's drawing air through your doors etc, you are warming that air then as it cools your humidity levels will increase. Those moisture traps are just collecting water as air passes around it, you aren't really removing moisture unless it's in a closed/sealed area in my use of them.
I can only really remember snow in London and the whole city came to a complete standstill. What a crazy mess it all was. It happened in January early every year. Glad you're both on your lovely Alba warm and cosy together. It must be lovely to escape the big cities and live the life you want. Your narrowboat looks amazing. Best to you both, David
Ha. It looks like home to me as well.
🥰🥰🥰
Those Dampness Absorbers Will only Work with Minimal Dampness.
Before Going to Bed, Open a Window / Vent & Stoke up the Fire FULLY. & Set the Fire to a Long slow burn setting, Keep Warm , But Vent the Bedroom.
After a Bath / Shower, Immediately open the Bathroom Window, & Leave the Door open to vent the Bathroom for 30 mins. Regardless of the Weather / Outdoor temp.
More Important in Very cold Icy weather.
Also Open AS MANY Doors & Windows as Possible when Cooking.
Another SERIOUS Cause of Damp in an Enclosed Space.
USE the COOKER HOOD if you have one + open a Window Close to the Cooker.
Bottled GAS for Cooking & Heating is ALSO a Source of Dampness / Moisture in the Air.
Try to use The Log Fire or if Possible Electric Heating via a FAN Heater for Dry Heat. Maybe When Hooked up to Land Mains or Via the inverter ? ( all Power Sources Vary )
Heating with any type of GAS Flame will produce lots of Moisture in the air.
A Fan Heater on Mains Power or a Very HOT Fire in the Log Stove is the best form of DRY Heat. ( the Steam & Moisture from the fire Escapes up the chimney & NOT into the Living Space , Caravan / Boat etc.
Yes I Say A HOT Fire.
You can Run a Cool fire or HOT fire if you Understand Fires,
A Cool Fire is Hot Cinders & Ashes Then add 1 small log. & Wait until it has almost burned out, before adding more fuel.
A Hot Fire is :-
Add Max Fuel to a Blazing Fire with 75% of the last Fuel Just Catching Light & Blazing, NOW You add 1 or 2 more Logs Long before you think you should,
& Continue to FEED , FEED, FEED the fire TO MAX Burn Capacity, Never allowing it to Drop below 60% of Full Red Hot Blazing Burn with Plenty of Air flow to the fire.
This will Clean Your Chimney & Burn off any Soot & Carbon.
TOO HOT ? GREAT Throw some Windows & Doors open.
WASTED FUEL YOU SAY ?
NO Wasted Fuel,
Just a very Warm Dry Boat / Van/ Space. & Far Less Damp Issues.
Fire Logs are FREE or Very Cheap, & Great for the Environment.
The Co2 Feeds the Plants & Trees, & the Wood ash is Great for the Soil.
Burning logs Makes Trees grow Bigger & Faster. + More Fire Logs.
Follow Nature,
NOT the Paid Scientific Liars & Criminals.
I came across your channel by accident. I had already subscribed by the second video. A nice friendly couple living what looks a great life on the canals.(not all plane sailing sometimes )can’t trace your accent though Marina, Scandinavian or am I wrong lol ?
Awww welcome to the channel, so glad you found us and thank you for sending us a message 💜 I'm Russian. Marina
you can use salt as well people put it in caravans
near where I live!!
Good afternoon! The snow looks lovely!
I want to ask about the tiny hot plate you are using at 11:26 into your video. I would love to know where I could get one! I'm writing from South Texas. I'm a half mile from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. We rarely have snow. Like 4 times in the last 25 years!
I'm glad you're able to stay warm.
And what is a falafel?
trop beau ! les déshumidificateurs électriques fonctionnent mieux.
Wow wonderful Miles and Marina love your vlogs stay well dont get jabbed, be safe in this plandemic .
I have just seen you.Please see Ecoflow delta 2 portable power station only takes 1 hr now to fully charge 3600.rillanr.If ypu ask to work with them demonstrating products ypu get to keep them free.Also electric bikes .Love your chanel .x
Lovely vlog. I'm curious about the offset (or I guess the official name is "oblique"?) calligraphy pen - don't think I've ever seen one before. Is there any advantage of using that style vs. the straight pen that holds the nib?
Thank you for watching! I’ve learned by using oblique nib so I’m not sure how it could be with the straight one. Well I’ve tried with the straight one and I prefer the one I have ☺️
Looks like your coke burning fire is your only means of heat, with no central heating you could do with some fans and ceiling sweep fans to distribute the heat through all parts of the boat and to get the heat down to low level.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THE TUBBERWARE❓️❓️❓️❓️
How far north will a 62’er allow you to go? I would think it’s a bit long for some of the locks. Am I right or wrong. I did see you have a bit of trouble turning some vlogs ago. Thanks for your great vlogs.
Hi Pauline, It could go all the way we think, we brought Alba from Great Haywood
what does alba mean?
Guess what Marina ? .............snow makes your eyes shine *grin*I must be in your Russian genes ,your secretly missing ultra low temperatures and dashing through the snow in a Troika wrapped in a bear skin rug. Myles could pretend to be Dr Zhivago.
Lovely wintry vlog ,Bradford on Avon looks interesting I've never been there despite having lived in Devon and Cornwall till I was 30..We had about 8 inches of snowlast week and the ground is covered although streets are bare and dry. Temperatures are slowly rising its actually above freezing most days but get's well below 0c at night. Take care be safe ,big virtual hug XX
what is a "zero wate shop"?
To cold for me
Do you have a problem with river rats? Do you take any preventive measures?
