    We are 2 years in, and I’d love to say the jobs list gets shorter, but it doesn’t! But over time you will gain the ability to be at ease with it and just laugh things off more! And **that** does make it easier! 😊
    BoatLife has a steep learning curve, and it hits you like a tonne of bricks! But keep at it. Summer is just around the corner 😊☀️
    Drop us a message if you need anything, always happy to help!

    I've dumped my entire watertank into my bilges, not been able to use my washing machine without the generator and even had to fix that after dropping it in the cut. But these experiences have just made me realise how much I can do. I love my boating life, don't let these experiences get you down

    I've moved to a much colder climate 2 winters ago. The first winter I was cold 🥶 most of the time. Then all of my pipes froze up. The pipe connecting to the sewer got plugged & I had to call someone twice to clean it out. The second attempt worked. The toilet worked on & off for a few months. I had to haul water for dishes, cooking, cleaning & drinking! No water for showers. I had no washer or dryer. This winter I figured out how to keep most of the pipes from freezing, my toilet is in full working order. I have a working washer & dryer & I've made leaps & bounds in staying warm. Bottom line, I think there's an adjustment period. So, by next winter, I think you'll both be masters at narrow boat living! Hugs to you both for all your patience & progress xoxo

    I just love how supportive you both are to each other anytime one of you gets a bit down about things as what you said is so true, when you are trying to live off grid more you have to slow down, somethings just take more time to get done. Give yourself grace that everything will not be easy and that’s ok to feel tired of it. Always love your videos. ~Jen

    You two really have had a lot to deal with.
    We had an excellent survey and are eternally grateful that it flagged potential issues.
    Not that we haven’t had stuff to fix - that’s just boat life.
    Always something.
    Possibly the same living in a bricks and mortar home but we forget that.
    Good luck!

    This was a great episode. Too often on social media, only the good parts are shown, and I think it's important to show the reality that it's not always the sunshine and rainbows that is portrayed.
    Even though you were having problems, I did laugh at the opening shot of you two in the launderette. 😂

    There's a lot of life and living that you are gaining with your new adventure on the water. Freedom, the beauty of nature at your literal doorstep, independence, exploration, and new wonderful experiences! But having bought an old boat, it's best to approach this early time as a "trial and error" time. You're going to be testing all the things that work, all the things that don't, and everything in between, as you get this old gal shining and purring like a dream. It'll take some time to get there. But every job done right will be a job that's complete! Good luck to you both! I really hope we get to see some renovations, that's my favorite thing to watch! :D

    I love watching you guys... washing is some you will have to get used to, I lost everything during lockdown to to my other halves mental illness, all 3 of my children are now in their 20s, I now live in a caravan, so wish I could have bought a narrow boat, so envious, after 24 years being in a relationship, big house, I lost everything, now working part time, but will never have the option of a washing machine, all my clothes, bedding and dogs bedding done by hand with a bar of soap, thats life im afraid

      I am sorry for the hardships that hit during lockdown, It was a horrid time for so many of us. We considered living in a caravan for a time, but then discovered canalboating. Have you visited the canals before? Sending much love your way xx

    Hello and welcome to boat life! Using electricity is a learning curve. Look at all your different electrical items and see what they draw. Low watt items can usually run off your house bank. High watt appliances can only use one at a time with another power source, ie generator, diesel, or shore power. And yes, it's the same on EVERY boat...even newer break all day, every day. We live "simpler" because the basic things are a never ending effort. Boat life is fixing things and hauling things. Acceptance is what we call "Island time" where I live. It's not "you", the experience you're having is normal!

      What I meant is we still have some part of it as if something is distressing we can panic as is that kind of instinct deep inside of us, which makes us different from men
