Hi just found your channel! I have just renovated an old house in France which is now on the market so I can buy I houseboat in England:) There are so many jobs you can do on the move. 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. I used to teach in Chichester too! Thank you for given us all a reason to live our dreams! x

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. I love your videos, the banter between the two of you is great. Keep up the good work. Dave M.

We put a deposit down last Saturday to book a build slot for a widebeam to be built next year and your videos have been a great inspiration to us in our decision, as it made us realise although you can't cruise the whole network there are still plenty of beautiful places you can travel to, and not have to downsize quite so much.

We still have some cruising vlogs to release, so hopefully we will be okay during lockdown.

[@clearlake3492]

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.

[@WeirontheMove]

:chuckles: Late to the party on this one (I swear KZbin hides things in mischievous fashion!) but I just wanted to say what an enjoyable watch it was, as well as being informative. One thing that struck me as I was listening for a pointers on how to make a living whilst cruising is that I wonder if you have considered doing some tutorials about how to build a client list as a freelance writer? It is something I have considered getting into myself but don't really have a clue as to how to get my foot in the door. 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. If you can't take the wet out of each other then it is not likely you will be able to stand each other for the long run :thumbs up:.

Hi David, it does help if you can find an income while working from the boat. Land-based jobs restrict your movement and hold you in one place.

[@darren__]

Thanks for doing this video. It had really helped to answer some question I have about my own boat search, and what to do with the car. 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

For the car, yes, that's exactly what we do. As for the north/south thing, watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/ombElIBorsR6b9k It should go some way to answering your quastions

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.

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

[@WeirontheMove]

Hi Stevie, the car is a necessity for Julie's work. It is a bind having to keep walking back for the car every time we move

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

[@WeirontheMove]

We use Paypal, Worldpay, and the website, create. You can use a relatives address or a Poste restante addresss

[@AhmedKhoga]

thank you

[@WeirontheMove]

You're welcome

[@susanclack8722]

Hi both , a really interesting vlog! Q. Do you have to have a home address if you are continuously cruising and liveaboards?

[@WeirontheMove]

Officially, no, but we use the mother-in-law's address

[@jamesfoley6555]

Thank you🙏✝️🕊🙏

[@WeirontheMove]

You are so welcome

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

Damn there's me thinking I was going to be a millionaire from our youtube channel! erm NOT! We don't even earn enough from it to cover the cost of the camera and mic etc needed! Let alone making a living! Nice vlog... :)

[@WeirontheMove]

You'd still be the tight Yorkshireman even if you did make a million

[@WingingItBoatingonaBudget]

@@WeirontheMove sure would! 🤣🤣🤣💷💷💷

Hi Mark & Julie! It's me again...the white-haired lady from Florida. How far South are there navigable canals? Are there any canals down to Cornwall??? I'm hopping over to Julie's web site now! Thank you!!!

[@WeirontheMove]

Not that I know of, Sue. We are on the farthest south canal at the moment

[@marilynnreiter7221]

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.

[@WeirontheMove]

I like my writing too much, Marilynn

[@Smartgran]

Mark you could sell boats? You look like a skipper, just need a cap (not a pipe) and you’ve researched it on yourselves! Is there a floating boat sales agency? Could be innovative. Might be a rubbish idea 😂 keep writing 🤣 love to both from my bijou in Charmouth ❤️

[@WeirontheMove]

Great idea, Jan. I did consider it once, but it would be too much like selling houses

[@Smartgran]

@@WeirontheMove Nothing’s permanent! If you know how to set up a company and market a product including web site you could launch it and then sell it after a few years. I’m full of good ideas 😂

[@walleye364]

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.

[@WeirontheMove]

Unfortunately, taking day trippers invalidates your insurance. Julie does trade occasionally from the boat, but there is little trade with the cover thing
