My mate and his partner have got a narrow boat and its moored in a Marina , and he sold his house and since getting the boat his health has improved ( they wanted him to take insulin for his diabetes since getting the boat , his diabetes has subsided.) He's walking more and he is happy. Hope your friend is as happy as my mate and enjoys his new adventure xx

Hi Kerry - that was so so interesting - so pleased for Jordan, what a life change. I have spent a couple of weeks on a narrowboat. Years ago had a free holiday to deliver a boat from Shropshire to Oxford. I’ll never forget how we got the boat stuck on a roof of a submerged car in Birmingham 😂 great memories. Look forward to your next adventure - Richard👍🇬🇧😄

Thanks for this quick informative no messing about video. I have been looking at life on a canal boat recently. I live near the Grand Union Canal. I had my money card stolen from me which had the funds to start looking for a small boat so unfortunately this left me gutted and I had to stop my tracks toward the boat life. However this time next year, I believe with all the help of the different boaters out there I will be able to make a choice on which boat I am suited to. Thank you for your videos. Xx keep them coming please x
