BOAT LIFE: We Took Our TINY HOME Into The French Canals!

We finally made it into the French Canals on our tiny floating home!
Boat life is occasionally extremely stressful. Taking our tiny floating home through 100 stone sided locks would make any boast owner stressed.Upon entering the Canal du Midi with our sailing boat (now converted into a canal boat!), our first order of business was negotiating our first lock, the round lock at Agde. We had unstepped our mast and was transporting the mast on the deck of our sailing boat, so dealing with the overhang was a new experience- not to mention dealing with the awkward dimensions of the lock itself! But it was a LOT of fun (stressful fun- but isn't that the best kind?) and definitely a new experience.
Bring on the rest of the french canals!
Cheers,
Nick & Terysa

[@abe_raham7578]

Great video! Bet you were glad for the bow thruster in there. Made me nervous thinking of myself in your position. I couldn't have done as well as you did

[@kylerjakob5567]

i know I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

I love this channel!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Thanks mate. Nice to feel the love

[@willemduitemeijer1683]

Superb how you guys stayed the same over the years. The story goes on and the quality of the videos are getting better and better. Thanks for allowing us to be in your lives.🍺🍷👍

[@patrickwilk6342]

Hey you guys are still together and your smiling and laughing! The lock could not have been that bad. Not only that, but you’re still afloat. Enjoyed watching from my chair, I figure I would have sunk at least one boat if that was me.

[@AlanCookeFX]

Awesome video! Well done guys!

[@skyrise4827]

Nice to see Lock Etiquette of moving to the front and not mooring up where you feel like, allowing other boats to easily moor behind was in full swing here..

[@MouseToes]

WOW on that first lock and Nicks nerves of steel and skill at the wheel!

[@Trishpage312]

Wow!!! What a TEAM! Incredible! Well done!!

[@wade4132]

I need a drink after watching this episode. WOW!!

[@johnnybarbar7435]

What an adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@anthonymiller8989]

Captain Tony Here; Do not stress its all small stuff , you handled it like pro's from my vantage point.

[@realwheelman]

What an adventure... thanks for bringing us along

[@Rick-ef5nh]

love this new adventure! Can't wait to see more!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Cheers mate.

[@richio1763]

Wow! Good job! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@davidoverholt251]

So much stress Nick! Your mate is running herself off to the max. You two were so brave on this one! Best of luck!

[@horacegardner3516]

Great team work! You 2 did awesome.

[@RenéeinVirginia]

That episode got my blood pressure up. Whew!

[@adelehunter-smith5096]

Well done, I have barged the canal du Midi, its amazing, but we had six people on board which made it easy. Plenty hands to help. Enjoy!

[@joeuncoolio]

What a fun and interesting video. This series through France is going to be great!

[@jeffwallace957]

What an adventure. I was oscillating between joy and terror. Thank you for that. Love the vids!

[@GaryMCurran]

You both did a great job getting Ruby Rose in and out of the lock. I look forward to the rest of this series. Can you rent a canal boat to go through there? That might be interesting for some people who want to go through there, but have either no boat, or a larger boat which won't fit.

[@nomae62]

Whoop whoop!!! I’ve finally caught up after following you around the world for the past 5 weeks via KZbin 😀

[@sailingrubyrose]

Congrats mate. You must be knackered

[@nomae62]

The Q&As were the toughest, it’s the amount of times people ask the same question 😀

[@randys1889]

WOW! Bravo!

[@iamblaineful]

Our locks in Seattle WA have floating tie-offs in the walls of the locks, you just tie off and they float up or down with the boat, super convenient when it’s just two people on board.

[@BernalilloGirl]

Wow, you know how to have an adventure! What an amazing experience! So glad we can follow along.

[@JeffKalb1]

I've only done 3 locks in my life. Never one like that thank God. You guys are such fun to watch!

[@fahrifoxtrot-whiskey9242]

Goodness. So stressful task. Well done guys. You've done it.

[@Huizerd]

It's so cool to see how you two work as a team. You both know what to do. Chapeau mes amis!

[@71Wraith]

Brown trouser time ! Well done guys 👍

[@pwrplay8709]

That was exciting.

[@jimmyjohnstone7258]

Stressful right enough.

[@gregponder8332]

Wow. Wonderful teamwork... and what a grand adventure this will be!

[@silasderoma4726]

Holy cow! What a tight squeeze! Good work!

[@adubmatters3584]

Great start! Can’t wait to see the next one 💯

[@srqlisa7881]

I watch several narrow boat channels and I keep having visions of you dodger and low tunnels. I do hope you got to cruise on a narrow or wide boat while there. That first lock was nuts, I didn't see any of your fenders out, scary. Looking forward to the next video. : )peace

[@navarredr]

That was epic! Looking forward to the next chapter! Well done.

[@Niagra2011]

Fantastic job navigating the locks!

[@3rwparks3]

You two have way too much fun, lol.. Keep doing it.

[@gpender]

Fabulous. You guys rock

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Oh MY...what a day I must say. whew!

[@GHunter35]

This video was stressful to watch, but that looks like so much fun.

[@SailingArgo]

Wow 😮 that was nerve wrecking 😨 Can’t wait to see the next episode.

[@wittko]

That's the fastest we've ever seen Terysa move. :)

[@nffremote]

Congratulations on a very stressful and entertaining video post. Merci et salut

[@RiggingDoctor]

Beautiful job! This is a million times more interesting looking than the US ICW.

[@glenpeters955]

Just simply beautiful scenery, I am truly insanely jealous of you.

[@sicchuckie]

Very intense day, good job, nice time! Lol

[@CCB249]

Great video. Who knew Nick can dance? Can't wait for the next video.

[@robertlemoine3500]

I totally enjoy your program, I love the tunes

[@bertju100]

great trip

[@plumpsh]

What a palava! But well worth it going through canal locks with significant fore & aft mast overhang. Never seen a lock like it - tricky! ROB

[@Zarih67]

So good of you to share. The first time in a lock can be quite stressful. You'll get used to it though. You have time to practice as you go on. You are experts by now and you've made it trough! I love cruising on canals and locks. It's so peaceful. For the first time since I met you, I actually know what it's like and what to do. When it comes to canals I'm in my world so to speak. These coming episodes I will very much look forward to. Hope you hade a cold one!

[@xavean1975]

Looking forward to this next section of your journey.!

[@stacygatherer9235]

You guys are my heros and inspiration! Fantastic episode. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I can't wait to follow in your footsteps!

[@christineminer2117]

Fantastic teamwork! I had to remember to breath watching this! Great editing....

[@TheAtma50]

Always entertaining ... Never dull !!

[@todaysrealhealth8153]

We all aged about ten years, I’m sure it was even more difficult then the video showed. Great job

[@ThomasHill44]

Get yourselves a cold brew after that one! Well done you two. Great video as always.

[@n.j.dougherty4872]

Well done 👍👍

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I paid for the whole seat, but only used the edge while watching you maneuver in and out of that lock. You guys did great.

[@squalloogal]

So much stress. Nail biting. You wouldn’t want to crash into someone else’s boat.

[@Hairnicks]

Well done guys, another new adventure. Loving it already.

[@2299jsimon]

That was interesting... not the usual white sandy beach...

[@andreaspoppe]

there should be an heart button instead of just the thumps up button! Such a lovely video...

[@jedi201]

Wow, stressful, even just watching..................well done!!!

[@waynemcphail7825]

Loved the video, great seamanship

[@bubbagail7450]

I broke out in a nervous sweat just sitting here watching. You guys are crazy, but fun to watch.

[@grantvandyk6840]

awesome guys!

[@travellingsimon]

I remember going through that round lock - got told off by the lock keeper for chatting with fellow lockees (?) and not moving quickly enough. It was our last lock though after joining the boat in Toulouse.

[@Lsutiger01]

Y’all crazy but fun to watch ❤️

[@christinedoyle2168]

Great Video but way too short! You’ve left me just wanting more... soon! Looking forward to the next set of vlogs.

[@jonathanrowe279]

Hey guys, used to work for one of those canal boats company's "Nicols" in aigues mortes. Well done for your first lock being the round in agde !!

[@Kimbopolo]

Oh my. I was so stressed out watching from my comfortable, dry, immobile couch! Can't imagine what it was like for you.

[@BaronWeber1]

You did great for the first time in a lock, we have locks here in the US on the Tennessee River that are between 90 and 100' drop (or lift if going upstream). They can be quite intimidating but you guys did great. Wonderful video, you see a lot when on inland waterways and met interesting people.

[@clarkkent2913]

As always: The skipper (much stronger person) on the helm and the girl must do all the heavy work. Let Terysa do the steering and Nick can handle the odd tasks.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

I bet she refused that offer!

[@sailingrubyrose]

Not sure what heavy work you mean? Literally have never been unable to physically do something that Nick can't do on the boat, except for zip up the sailbag and close the hatches from the inside, both of which I'm too short for! Everything else- perfectly capable.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

@@sailingrubyrose Wasn't me! I was only joking that you were probably wise to refuse to drive in those close conditions. Forgot the wink...sorry. The wife and I argue about who gets to pilot in sticky situations all the time. I have been known to neutral the throttle and walk away from the helm in the face of heavy criticism. ;)

[@laurentwidloecher6312]

Well done for speaking the local language!

[@RexWaldron]

Hells bells, that lock was an experience! Great how you captured the whole thing though. Looking forward to the next episode in la belle France :)

[@robertalexander9931]

You both looked like old hands at going through the lock. Great job and video.

[@tomd.3082]

I'll need crew on my boat if I ever go to the French canals. I wouldn't even think about attempting it solo. Oh, could someone pass the bottle of rum over here? I need a shot, please and thank you.

[@clifflong1203]

“Sanguine “😊😉👍

[@mdwightj]

That's like putting a square peg in a round hole!! Roundabouts were first started in the UK, I guess they thought the canals needed one too.. Great episode!!

[@slypigno9835]

I can't wait till it is my turn to do that trip! It looks like fantastic fun.

[@paul42592]

I was getting stressed along with you watching you go through that first lock. I think I need a drink. Oh look, there's one right here :-)

[@dondevine5129]

We done! thanks

[@VERTICALWisdom]

Love your videos - questioning the level of sanity and all this work for a trip down and irrigation canal.

[@Catalina58601]

That would be the death of me :) You did so good! AND managed to record too!

[@edrosenberger6947]

I was a nervous wreak setting here watching this....just glad I was not actually there! Would hate to see myself meltdown.....

[@2845kathy]

Good job!!

[@Benglator1]

Start from the year 1900 and ponder the history that this canal has seen. Now start from the year 1800. Here you are in 2019, adding to the history of what has floated on or crossed over this great canal.

[@bayareablues2255]

That was some impressive piloting, Nick!! Truly a case of "Slow is Pro!" Well done. ;-)

[@julieandmikelawrie5020]

Great video! We loved it!

[@PaulASmyers]

10:40 ... Oh My!

[@aquatictn]

Wow, that first canal is just a ditch!

[@111-e7n2k]

To dodge these locks needs skill and patience. But you guys did great. You learn something new every day. Much love from Switzerland.

[@LarryJohnson7]

Great video guys. Im glued to watching you guys head through the narrows. Awesome content

[@buenaventuralife]

A bit intense. What is impressive or what I take away is how good you work as a team. He at the helm and you as the muscle.

[@mattsmith6397]

The trick with locks is - lines on, engine off, beer open! 🍺👍

[@suziq5293]

Wow good job! Made me nervous just watching

[@___Tom]

It was exiting enough to watch the vid, would not change my couch with your place!

[@bophoto]

LOL kanal sailing - IF you have any fenders left in the boat... you don't have enough out. easy as that. good fun though ain't it.?
