Hello Kids, TJ and Rita here (yacht Bluebelle), just sold the yacht so wont be back in Ireland anytime soon. Hope life is still going well for you both. Keep motoring. Keep moving. Keep enjoying life! TJ

Hello, I've been watching your videos, great info and journey to follow, thank you. Question, I think I seen you using a GPS app on your phone while cruising, what's the app called? Does it allow you to plan route times etc?

Loved the video.

It sounds off balance.

Hi there guys.. I just wondered what the cost of owning a boat and how much to keep it on the water.. is it better to have a 12 wide or a narrow boat.. thank you

11 ft wide here 😅 lucky me

I am looking to move to Ireland. Thinking of doing this

The fairy liquid wont be good for the fish

Great video.I enjoyed your trip uo to Gallon island, there is a very historic graveyard just behind the car park that has some rare irish stone crosses

Beautiful boat it looks very comfortable . Enjoy your videos.l see you have filmed my boat out your window

Enjoyed your video amazing how you got the boat. I was berthed beside you in the marina , hope tosee you back again this year

Masya allah😊

Yes.

What do you do for your income?

Great video. You touched on buying. How did you manage to finance this? 2 students graduating from uni usually have large student loans hanging over them so I imagine the bank was a no - no or was it the bank of mum & dad? That's great if they are in a position to do that. Is owning a boat like this like owning a caravan ie a depreciating asset? I would love to do this but the only way I see is releasing equity on my house.

As you have indicated the price of a decent boat is quite high ( circa £50k - £60k. Was it difficult to arrange finance ( assuming 2 students did'nt have a huge wad of cash. What is depreciation like?

So the boat came available to you just at the right time. Are there any other narrow boat in NI? I would guess cruising on either lough Erne could be quite daunting in a flat bottom vessel. I must admit the idea of living on the boat is appealing. Good luck.

Damn that looks badass though living in that boat

How do you get wifi exactly on a boat? I'm really curious

Hi love the boat how is it in bad weather and highwinds ? When you are moored up

That seems a good deal to me. £259 pounds a month. , you could not rent a one bedroom flat for that price.

Insurance is a bargain literally bargain cost more on car insurance what a deal of a bargain I’m moving out getting canal boat

I lived on sailboats for ten years and they were never that big or luxurious

Love what you're doing. I remember seeing Qisna on listings over the past few years! A quick question - I live in Dublin, have been on boats but not for any length of time and want (as recccommended) to book a proper cruise for a week or so to see how I manage - Shannon cruises are insanely expensive even in the off season - have you come across good value options in the UK? I was thinking maybe late Jan/Feb, rent one for 5 days and see if I can actually manage the routine alone (as I won't always have people with me).

Your love it have a great life ❤❤❤

Oh I'm on my way put the kettle on it looks delicious. Well done.My wife's auntie used to make really good banana bread but sadly she passed away a few yrs back.

👏❤

That is so beautiful. I've been watch vanlife/travel videos for a bit and I haven't seen this part of Ireland. What is the theater called? Great video! 😊

Did you notice a difference in speed (slow as narrowboats are) and handling after getting rid of your hitchhikers?

Hi folks, I am Freddie in the USA. My daughter (lives in France), and I are planning to meet in Ireland next April 2024. We want to hire a Narrowboat for a 10 day cruise. I hear you mention Enniskillen often. I want to visit as our ancestors are mostly from Enniskillen. I have found boats for hire, but in that area, no narrowboats. Do you know of a place in the area to hire a Narrowboat? Enjoying your posts. Thank you, Freddie Gillogly - Stanleta

Boosh! Straight to the F-ing info I clicked on the video for. Thank you 🙏 I've clicked on loads of vids lately. 1 minute intro, 2 minutes repeating the premise of the video title, a few minutes about their previous video. Ending with a vague conclusion that leaves you with more questions.

Love how bright and cozy some I've seen are dark

I’m on a narrowboat have you got the foam one for when you move about? Have you screwed if to the roof? Bad winds etc

How much would it cost to ship a narrow boat over ?

Genuine decent people who can think outside the box

Love your boat,well done.

Very unusual to only have one battery. Normal arraignment is to have separate starter battery from your house battery/batteries. The reason is the starter is only able to do short heavy starting load not deep discharging. If your original batteries were just connected in parallel, without a charging relay that connects the house battery when your alternator is charging, then both batteries would have a shorter life as neither is capable of handling the others load type. With the standard arrangement a starter last years. I've never had to change mine, had the boat six years and it came with the boat. Also, if your starter is having to run the entire boat you run a risk of having no battery to start the engine if you let it drop too low. That cannot happen with a separate house battery. Sorry it's a long message but I'd hate to see you two stranded some day. Mark.

Hi Sean from Dundalk looking forward to cruise with you good luck

I finally get a mention 🤗

I follow a few NB channels but I can’t with you two. Both of you talk too fast and it’s not pleasing to the ears.

Enjoy your Vlog, some lovely scenery but for someone who has no idea of where you are geographically a map reference would be very helpful.

had me for a second! greetings from Omagh:)

Are you guys on the lower lough now?

Hello! Who's watching our new vlog? 🤔🤔

Cool video would be better if there were subtitles, sounds like there trying to escape from somebody who’s set a trap.

I'm currently considering buying a barge so this video is sooo helpful 😍

Cool stuff guys

Lifes great .😊

Ah just brilliant guys I have a small barge too and I just love cruising the waterways that's my barge you passed by in keshkerrigan. I love the shannon erne but the Barrow has to be my favourite of all.Beautiful going up to Drumshanbo especially when the weather is good.😊

Enjoyed the boat tour, just one thing. Both of you have soft voices and your background music was making it hard to hear you.
