I am just in the process of writing a book of 101 of them! A couple of things you might like to consider. Stock Photos. you get paid royalty for each one that sells, Online Art Gallery, selling posters, paintings, etc. Online Tutor ( I do this too) Virtual PA, Graphic Designer ( I know someone on a narrowboat who is doing really well with this) Online Marketing, Greeting Card Designer.

Get a drone definitely. They are so easy to fly nowadays, they are virtually autonomous, stick in in the air and put it in follow me mode and it will follow you along the cut. They have built-in obstacle avoidance so wont fly into anything (depending on which model you buy that is, do the research). I fly the Yuneec Typhoon H which is a hex-copter, its a bit too big for what you want. DJI do some nice ones, small which can be landed in the palm of your hand (carefully). l also follow Foxes Afloat and some of their aerial video and photography is outstanding.

A very interesting, informative and honest video. It is unusual for narrowboaters to talk about how they make money on the cut - but, of course, that's always the number one question in the minds of most viewers. The fact is that it's clearly damn hard to make a decent living when you are a continuous cruiser. If it were easy, then there would be a lot more people living their dream on the waterways. It seems to me that unless one has a ton of savings or a pension, all that happens is that you replace the stress of a job with the stress of worrying where the next penny is coming from. I am sure you are only too aware that not having any cash for emergencies is not an ideal situation to be in. But enough of me being a wet blanket. I wish you all the best and hope that things go well for you. My ears also pricked up when you said you lived in Gosport. I grew up in said town, living in Park Road opposite the Creek, which is a stone's throw from Gosport Park.

Also, I just wanted to note, as I am sure all successful married couples already know, that the banter and teasing between the two of you is the essential oil that makes a relationship work :D.

So do you walk back to the car after each trip and drive it further up the canal/river? Do you have a bike/scooter to get you back to the car quicker? On the north/south wide beam topic, if you did travel as far north as you can on the southern canals, how far would you need to be transported on a lorry to get you to the northern canals, and have you looked into what that would cost? Are they building a widened canal that will eventually link the north and south? Sorry for all the questions. Hope you’re enjoying the K&A. Rgds Darren

Caught up now and watched all your vlogs, loved watching them and helped us make our decision to go wide beam, thanks for all your great videos it’s really helped us and answered so many questions. We plan to move our car with us like you guys do, have you had any problems finding secure parking? Also can you advise, are there any spots to avoid on the K&A for continuous cruising, specifically places that are not secure or have a higher risk of crime? Rich & Jax
@WeirontheMove4 жыл бұрын
We don't know anywhere along the K and A where the crime rate is high. Places like Reading and Newbury have higher crime rates and Thatcham gets a bit of a reputation. We wouldn't moor near Fobney lock. That has a reputation. We don't know any other hot spots, so to speak. We tend to park in residential streets or next to bridges as that seems safe.

Love the video! How do you actually move your car around and park everywhere? Do you have to go back to the car every time you move?

We always walk back to get the car after we move, s we walk between 3 and 5 miles each time

Hi Mark and Julie, I enjoyed this vlog about your income and outgoings. How much did you pay for your widebeam and if by constantly moving how much would you think you'd need to live if it was through savings 🤔 All the best let's hope 🎅 bring you both a drone...
@WeirontheMove4 жыл бұрын
We paid quite a bit for her, but not as much as a new one. That's a tough question to answer because we just don't know. We do know some people that live off savings, but it is a hard question to put into actual pounds

Thanks for another great vlog with all the info' that a new boater would need. I still don't get how you manage to travel around the canal and river systems with your car following you and it must be able to pay for itself also even a ten year old car costs money, a ten year old Bentley is still a nice car though, lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Might sound like a crazy question, but how do you take payment for your art when you sell custom orders online & are continuously cruising? Like I am self employed & make an item to sell online. It's enough to live on, doesn't take up too much room. But I take paypal payments. Can you have paypal without a fixed abode? Also I guess you'd have to make sure you moored near a post office every week? lol

Why don't you get into selling narrowboats at one of the marinas. As a former realtor that's what I'd do. Check it out. Even helping put boat information on line for them.

Seems like the Marina's are trying to price themselves out of the business. Why would anyone pay that price? 9K. What are your thoughts on giving tourist/ day trippers rides? Do private Canal Boats do that sort of thing to make money? I seen videos of people selling things off of their boats. Flowers/crafts etc.
@WeirontheMove4 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, taking day trippers invalidates your insurance. Julie does trade occasionally from the boat, but there is little trade with the cover thing
