CRUISING PLANS ABANDONED! Bitten by the BUG!

Hi Guys,
This vlog started off great, we were so excited to be heading towards Wales along the Staffs and Worcs canal and then onto the Shropshire Union Canal. Unfortunately things took an unexpected turn when I became very ill and required hospital treatment, abruptly ending the trip.
I always want to show both sides of living on a narrowboat and getting ill definitely has its challenges under normal circumstances. When you combine this with living on a boat it can get complicated.
I hope you enjoy this vlog.
Kayleigh
I'm Kayleigh and along with my two dogs Hugo and Coco we will full time on board our 57ft narrowboat Slievenamon. My second Narrowboat which I am currently in the process of renovating. I'm working on making the inside liveable before tackling the many exterior projects and maintenance this boat is more than ready for!
Join me as I renovate this boat from the inside out!
Subscribe and welcome aboard - follow me on my narrowboat journey, where I will show what its really like living and navigating the English waterways as a solo female.
New video released every Monday.

[@sebxiou-lifestyle4465]

So sorry you caught C-19. I appreciate that, with asthma, it can be especially dangerous. Great, though, to hear you are recovering - and, at least, you are now super-inoculated. Good luck with your recovery and future cruising. Take care, now.

I'm not super familiar with UK geography but one of my reference points is AE Housman's chapbook A Shropshire Lad so every time I see a narrowboater on the Shropshire Union I get excited haha

[@sandihandi7831]

Just found you on here and looking forward to looking at your previous videos. Hope they are still out there. Sorry to hear about your illness. My son and his family (4 boys) all caught Covid. 3 vaccinated and 3 too young yet. No idea where or who brought it home, but after 10 days, all is well. Rest, plenty of fluids and hopefully you won't have to go back into hospital. Take care. Sandy from USA

So sorry, how are going to work? Doggies look happy anyways. Good luck.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Hi Sharon, I wasn’t working whilst I was ill 😊

[@randoneur]

Hope your over the worst of it now. I was only 3 weeks into life on the cut when I contracted it. I was pretty lucky that I had a full water tank plenty of spare cassette capacity and beer. I just about managed to see out the 10 days isolation by rationing food, and eating those emergency tins of stuff you dont actually intend using! I also found a remote spot, and can only say I was pretty stir crazy by the end. I know now what prison is like, although there at least you get some daily excercise... Trying to deal with track and trace kept me amused for a few days.

I am surprised. When you started talking about asthma I thought"thank God" 700,000 dead here, only anti vaccine people didn't get it. I hope you get better soon.

[@jillosler9353]

So sorry to hear you have caught Covid Kayleigh. It just goes to show that even on a relatively isolated boat there is no such thing as 100% safe. Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how you coped in next week's vlog.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Thanks Jill, see you next week! 😊

[@mellebrown363]

I'm sorry to hear of your problem I presume being an asthma sufferer you had received BOTH of your vaccinations. It's, rather worrying that even though we have complied we are still at risk. Take care your dreams, will happen.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

Thank you 😊

[@tim040]

Don’t use your centre line to moor, it makes your boat rock when other boats go past, your on a canal, your boat isn’t going anywhere even if your other lines come out.

[@TheSps24]

Rather a disjointed vlog. Perhaps it's best just to regain your strength and ignore Youtubing for a time. Your health is always the main priority.

[@LiveaboardLifestyle]

That’s the way it happened. It is 😊
