Thanks so much for watching everyone 😊 How did you like the slightly longer video? Or do you prefer them around the 20 minute mark? Let us know! ☺️

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

I like the longer, but I also realize how labor/time intensive that is. Do what is good for you both. 😊

[@BoatTime]

@@ruaidhrikathygill8833 that’s good to know! Thank you ☺️

[@sailorgirl2017]

Enjoy whatever you choose to share! Happy Christmas! Tomorrow, the Solstice, we decorate and then we have an unusual 10 days of snow!! Yay!! We rarely have a white Christmas!

[@michellec8273]

Love the longer format. You both pout very well!😉

[@DD_11111]

Longer the better guys!!!😊

[@chuckb624]

That shirt suits you buddy👌🏻

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 😊

[@DD_11111]

You should have sampled some oatcakes whilst you were in Stoke guys ! I like mine with butter and jam 😋

[@chrisandjaneonnarrowboatpo3917]

Love Westport Lake. ❤. Really enjoyed watching 👍 a big thumbs up from Chris and Jane 😊 ❤

[@BoatTime]

Yes! One of our fav spots 🥰 Thank you so much for watching! X

[@jessicacross1897]

Loved the ending part with the leaves ❤️🍂🍁

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! 🥰

[@lynnedeegan4077]

Great vlog as usual, I do hope you've asked Santa for a trolley even if it's a granny shopping one to save that poor lads arms 🤣 that water park looked amazing!

[@BoatTime]

Haha maybe we should… As tiring as it is it does provide a pretty good workout! 😅 the water park was really fun! But unfortunately we weren’t allowed to film inside

[@helencooper3225]

Well done as Always...Amy & Wes. Loved watching you both .. Loving the Goggles too 👀👀😃👌 Have a great week.🐕🐇💕

[@BoatTime]

Thank you Helen 🥰 the goggles were so stylish 😂 enjoy your week too!

[@Dontremainatadpole]

We took a hot chocolate break in the middle of this one so being a bit longer worked for us! Keep up the good work guys 👍

[@BoatTime]

Ooh nice! Can’t go wrong with a hot chocolate in this weather! We’re so glad you enjoyed thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@fp30e]

Amy, Wes, What a happy and nice Vlog. Love your 50ft turn in the middle of the canal, a very tight squeeze. And not forgetting your earlier turn at Harecastle Tunnel. It looks great fun doing a U turn. Amy was great saving the chimney whilst under a low bridge. Loved the Slow motioning kicking the leaves. Loved the Vlog and the adventures of you both and not forgetting Rufus and Rupey. Take care.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you!! The U turns take a bit of practise but they’re very satisfying when they go smoothly 😊 we love trying to make the most of the little moments like autumn leaves 🥰 thank you for coming on the adventure with our little family, take care too!

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Awesome as ever. So natural. And living the lifestyle. Stay safe and best wishes. Trevor.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you Trevor! 🥰 stay safe!

[@karenbladen1160]

Invest in a granny trolley for your shopping, it's amazing how much stuff you can fit in them and makes life so much easier when you do a big shop.

[@BoatTime]

We’ve had a few recommendations for them, we will have to have a look! Thank you for the tip! 🥰

[@setholson6550]

You need a grocery cart that folds up for storage my mom had one and loved it they hold so much also and save your back and arms. Do you ever get Pizza Hut? Saw one in the background. The water world sounds great fun. Susan

[@BoatTime]

Oh nice! We have been meaning to look into those they look very useful! We do sometimes get Pizza Hut! It has some great vegan options too 😋 the water park was a blast! 🥰

[@thestormysea-art]

I love watching your videos every week. I already cant wait until next week! Safe travels this week.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much Storm! 🥰

[@Will-am-i]

Loved the video, thanks for sharing your journey.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@FlashGormless]

As long as you have space it's ok to turn your boat anywhere on the canal, it doesn't have to be a winding hole.. Great vlog :)

[@BoatTime]

Haha that’s good to know thank you! We were worried that we were breaking some sort of rule 😅😅

[@garycharlesworth1414]

Hi Guy's, Love your vlogs. As usual they are always interesting, entertaining and well put together. Well done. Take care and stay safe....

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much Gary! That means a lot 😊 Hope you are doing okay Sending you best wishes, same to you! ☺️

[@pastasauca]

I know I've said this before but I love your hair Amy!! And I didn't realise how far behind the vlogs are! (it's not a bad thing) The livestream feels like eons ago 🥰 you're doing amazing and I'm loving every vlog. Also really enjoyed the slightly longer vlog too. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BoatTime]

Thank you so much that’s so lovely 🥰 Yeah they are currently about 6 weeks behind so we plan to do slightly longer ones to help catch up 😊 we’d like them to only be about 2/3 weeks behind! Thank you for all your support 🥰❤️

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Brilliant vlog. Looks like the swimming was fun. Nice to spend some time in a City and move on I’d think. Glad your live stream went well. I’m sorry to have missed it. Could you do one over Christmas? Take care. Nick

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! The swimming was so fun, and a novel experience too. We definitely enjoy a mixture of built up areas and quite rural moorings 😊 we are planning on doing one, potentially on Wednesday! Take care!

[@jasonblackmore7631]

Hi how do you afford takeaway food fuel etc is it just on income or savings as well as we rent and were thinking of getting a boat ?? So no massive amount of spare cash

[@BoatTime]

Hey! Wes still works full time from the boat which is our main income, and we pay off the loan we got to buy the boat monthly. So unfortunately, no massive amount of spare cash haha But it can be doable if you dont!

[@sailorgirl2017]

LOL...Canadian question...what's a windy hole? I'm not even sure of the spelling...something about a turn-around area? Thanks

[@BoatTime]

Haha! Yes a winding hole is a wider bit of the canal where narrowboats can turn as most of the canal is too narrow. Sometimes you have to travel quite far just to turn around! 😅

[@sailorgirl2017]

@@BoatTime Too funny! Winding hole. I will remember that one! LOL

[@beasmith1]

The sh*te side of boating when it rains lol

[@BoatTime]

Yep! 😅😅 you gotta do what you gotta do even if it’s chucking it down!

[@charliegriffiths1028]

Great vlog but you were in Hanley centre not S-O-T.

[@BoatTime]

Thank you! Ah we thought it was part of the centre! Good spot 😊

[@rogermoore-gd9do]

Hanley is the city centre of Stoke on Trent.

[@KayRabbithbmm]

What's Amy's Twitch channel?? ❤😊

[@BoatTime]

I don’t stream anymore sadly! 😞

[@BreezyRider66]

I'm from Stoke it's mostly carnivores there...

[@BoatTime]

Oh right! We found plenty of vegan food there thankfully 😅

[@simonbiggs9102]

It's sooo hard getting vegan food😢

[@BoatTime]

It’s getting easier at least! 😊
