Hi David, Enjoy your vlogs, and humour. I definitely relate to your philosophy on living affordably, sustainably and economically. It would be interesting to see a tour of your home, and surrounding shops and area. Did you have to buy furnishings or did you have belongs in storage? Are you a gardener? If you ever make your way to the US, the Intercoastal waterways would be a wonderful adventure.

I am one of those who very much appreciate your "Q-and-A" sessions; it is clear to me that, unlike so many other narrowboat KZbinrs I follow, your experience as a journalist and videographer shows up in your answers and no-plan planning as well as the quality of the presentations on all three of your chanels. I wish you well in whatever you do. I have watched an episode on an all-electric boat and decided that when I win the lottery I do not play, and when Britain relaxes its non-residential visas, I will come and buy one and live aboard, quietly, ecologically and (non) soundly. [The one I watched came with a device that controlled to narrowboat while walking on the towpath; that would be a required accessory because I am alone. Also, a family I watch just spent a few days on an Airbnb rental widebeam in Lisbon, Portugal...something for you to look into when someone drops that satchel of money on your porch, eh?) PS. Emma has been cruising since she was a very young girl.

We live in the far western US and enjoy your videos very much. On the subject of river cruises we have done about 9 trips on the European rivers using an American company called Grand Circle Travel. Their boats hold about 140 passengers. It is nice to have your hotel go with you. They also have small ships that hold 90 passengers that travel through the Mediterranean and Baltic. Another fun cruise for people who don't like cruise ships is the Norwegian ship that sails from Bergen to the far north of Norway and back in 12 days. The ships are considered a Norwegian national treasure and are the main transportation for many of the small towns along the coast. They only hold 400 passengers and travel between the coast and the outer islands so it is calm most of the way.

Hi David, I think many of your fans were curious how you are coming along after your life transition last year, which the Q&A answered, so thanks! Sorry to hear about the loss of the video camera. As I recall, it was a pretty nice Sony camera. Dropping and forever losing an expensive camera is always one of my fears so, I always wear a neckstrap. If not practical, perhaps some other type of tethering, or attaching cork so it will float? I'm glad to hear your house purchase is working satisfactory so far. It's nice having the extra space, virtually unlimited utilities, and reduced maintenance due to your home not sitting in water 24/7/365. Although, living off-grid with limited resources is a good teaching experience for anyone. Hopefully doing the interviews with other narrowboaters will satisfy your narrowboat desire until you can afford your baby narrowboat. I am assuming a fiberglass one with an outboard engine would be most practical from the corrosion and trailering standpoint but, with me living in the US, that's just a guess. Thanks for refining the details related to your cheese sandwich, I can appreciate the extra sharp cheddar. I discovered recently that certain foods we were fed as kids, produce an enduring desire for that food dish our entire lives, which is probably why I can't stay away from Bar-B-Q. Cheers!

Re: plumbing and old plumbing. Any valve you replace, including the garden faucet (for the hose) always replace it with a ball valve. 3x the cost, but always works, good forever. I think in 40 years I may have replaced one ball valve. They now also make ball valves for under the sink (We in the States call these 'angle stops' or 'stop valves.' You probably call them something else. Usually the old style ones turn to garbage in a year or two. (Many times I just look at them and go turn off the whole house.) When you replace the garden faucet with a ball valve, you you will have to add a 'pipe to hose thread' adapter. Well worth the extra expense. I've worked on Chicago faucets that were 100 years old, good for another 100 years. The much newer sink taps bath and kitchen in my house needed replacing twice in 14 years. Thanks for the Texas Chicken answer. I wonder what it took for the first two captains to try it.

Top Tip: would definitely agree on the ball valve thing but would avoid duff kit from China via Amazon, the balls rust ... In UK we have UK made "full bore" types, and types suitable for all liquids and gases. They generally have a yellow coloured lever. Slightly more expensive but useful to have a few of the "popular" sizes for water, viz 15mm and 22mm.

Having been on two river cruises with my wife (Uniworld on the Danube and Rhine, Viking on the Elbe), I highly recommend them. Given your experience on the canals, I think you'll find the boats a nice step up, but not overwhelming. One thing to consider is that the ability of the boats to run their routes is very dependent upon the water level on the river - too high and they won't be able to get under the bridges, too low and they won't have enough water under the keel. In those cases, busses get used.

I'm on my second syndicate share. When considering one my main advice would be to seek out an owner group who are like-minded to yourself. In some ways the 'mentality' of the owner group is as important as the boat itself. Also, in my experience, a professionally managed boat is preferable to self-managed, the latter very dependent on the competency of the owners. Lots of other things to consider as well but these are the main ones beyond the price and ongoing costs. Overall, I think share ownership is the best way to enjoy being on the cut without the commitment of living on it.

Very nice vlog David! Nice to hear that you are settling into your sweet little abode. I am looking forward to your travels in the van and also with Lorna in her little boat this summer. I think it would be lovely if you were also able to get over to the continent to do some canals in Germany/Belgium/France this summer. How great would it be to see things through the eyes (and brain!) of David Johns! lol... Had a good chuckle & I totally agree with you on going on large ocean vessels! I once did the Channel on a huge Hovercraft in some very extreme weather (with a rather hungover football team as well!) and I literally kissed the sand in Dover when we finally landed! Never again! LOL!

Hovercraft would be amazing!

@@CruisingTheCut I think that all the Hovercrafts have been decommissioned when the Chunnel was finished. It was a huge thing, it could ferry cars as well as people! But I tell you, that day of the storm was the only day in my entire life when I actually thought I was going to die in the 30+ft swells!! It would go up...way up...and slam down...way down...repeatedly for almost 2 hours! urrrggg....yerf...needlesstosay, the hungover football team were all groaning and chucking their cookies...lol

David only you could do a 27 minute video sat in a chair in your house, yet still keep the viewers attention until the very end. I checked the furniture behind for a startled heron but couldn't see one so maybe an ornamental one could be purchased before 2025!!

As for the budget to travel to Europe or the US, would you consider to do a GoFundMe for this then? See, when you finished the trip, you're not indebted to anyone. Even not in your own mind, I'd suppose. 😉 I think people would love to fund these trips because of the awesome content. Either way, I really enjoyed watching this Q&A!

So glad you're happy with land life. Can't wait to see what wee boat you end up with (eventually).

Did you know aluminum is less expensive in the US because we pronounce it with one less syllable? You should have your tiny beaver boat built here. 😂

Though American, I grew up eating Gouda sandwiches. But cheddar is hands down THE BEST cheese. And mild cheddar is a joke. The stronger the better.

Oh no! So sorry to hear about the camcorder going into the canal. That has to be the ultimate in frustrating, when you can't feasibly retrieve it. Like you, I wish I could win the lottery and go traveling all over the place. I have the time now, but not the money. Prolly why the majority of my TV watching is on KZbin, watching a good number of travel related channels. Hope you can get your van in order soon so we see some travel vlogs there. Have a great coming week!

I laughed at your comment about not liking hot weather and being a hot sweaty blob. I live in FL and cannot stand the heat either (its going to hit 32C today! :( yuck ). I would move to the UK or Iceland tomorrow if I could to get away from the heat! lol
