Winter Morning Routine Living on a Canal Boat Full-Time

Join us for a couple of typical mornings aboard our home, narrowboat Alba. In the second lockdown, we decided to get on with a few DIY projects. First, we begin tiling the splashback in the kitchen and painting our bathroom. We are also going on a pre-birthday walk to Avebury stone circle here in Wiltshire and experience some amazing strong winds.

We’ve always wanted to find an alternative way of living and the idea of moving onto a canal boat came to us in September 2018. In January 2019 we bought Alba! Watch the full story here: bit.ly/AlbaEpisode5

Belated Happy Birthday ❤️

[@DH-pq2ud]

It great how you are doing DIY and making your home even more homely, and also how Myles is so polite about someone “recycling your pegs”rather than saying, they stole them the minute we left. Love, love love the videos.

[@CruisingAlba]

Hehe but the guy was so lovely 💜 He was just being opportunistic 😬

[@orchidhouse297]

Great views of the stone circle and avenue. More memories of arriving from an over night drive from Derbyshire at stupid o'clock in the morning, wandering around in the mist and then curling up to sleep in an MG Midget. We were young then. So pleased you are enjoying while you are youngsters.

[@SSPhoto85]

Love the Joy in Marina’s face at the frost!!!

[@guythompson5933]

Try some red devil on your fire not too much and it's very good

[@A1DJPaul]

Lighting Fires & Keeping them Lit is a REAL SKILL with Lots of Understanding. Stoke the Fire up, Close all Draught / vents. Add A slightly Damp or Moist Log, ( the Largest you can fit into the fire. ) For a Long Slow Burn. If Either of You awake in the night to use the toilet Add another Log to the Fire.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

Freezing mist is rare in the middle of America. I've only seen it a few times over my life. Thank you for sharing your adventurous Birthday too!

[@BharatK77]

Avebury. Such special place on our planet. It’s a portal.

[@raggedgray2068]

Join us living off grid travelling the UK canal network. Today, were just going to the farm shop.....in our BMW....

[@foaler68]

I was thinking the same, who's driving the car doesn't make sense.

[@A1DJPaul]

Use Waste Paper & Packaging to Get the Fire & Chimney Warm 1st. Then add Kindling, Add a Couple of Logs, You can also Place a Couple of Logs in the Fire Before Lighting the Paper & Kindling. Then use Half a Compressed Fire Log.

[@janeingram7331]

So nice to see Avebury again. There is a lovely walking trail along along narrow canal that once must have been used for boats as there was a pill box there to guard against a German invasion. I actually attended the wedding of the Lord of the Manor only by accident as I was touring the ground and was in the church when the wedding started. I asked the cannon if I cold stay and said I could. I have a feeling that I am in the wedding photos of the Lord. Till this day they are probably trying to figure who that girl was in the photos. Best to you both, Jane, Philadlephia

[@CruisingAlba]

Hi Jane, such a fun story, well done for taking the opportunity and asking to stay. Must have been so exciting 💜 xx

[@barbarabull2672]

Happy Birthday Marina! Avebury, Silbury Hill & West Kennet Long Barrow are some of my favourite places. I'm not sure if you'll get near to it but White Horse Hill at Uffington is another mysterious, spiritual, ancient place with Wayland's Smithy and Dragon Hill. Beautiful. Myles seemed very shy when you first started doing your vlogs but now he is so funny, we loved him impersonating "the crew in meltdown" this week. Keep safe, take care xx

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you for watching Barbara. Wiltshire has so many mystical sites 💜 xx

[@paulayala4816]

For starting campfires in the desert we would always take dryer lint along with us and use it as kindling. It is scary how quickly it catches and can get the fire going. Though one time we did have a problem with the firewood we brought along as it got thoroughly soaked the night before. We could not get it to light and had no lighter fluid. My friend Cecelia squirted some hairspray (yes hairspray) on the log and kindling. We all laughed, thinking no way will it work, but it did, in no time we had a roaring fire for the entire evening.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you for sharing Paul and thank you so much for watching, big hugs 💜 xx

[@sheepdog1102]

I don’t know how anyone could be that happy so early in the morning. It’s almost 10:00am before I can even speak. lol 😆

[@CruisingAlba]

Easy, the trick is to wake up before 6am 👌

[@bryanbadger6841]

Good Nz morning people. Another breath of fresh air from you. A huuuge HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINA. Sorry I didn't know how many candles I needed for your cake. So settled for one in the middle. Now Myles and Marina, I really love you guys,,but I really have to say this. Down here in Nz, we learnt from an early age "mad dogs and English men and women, go out in the midday sun." BTW I'm looking at my 74th summer. Might I include...."go out in the pouring rain." Yes I understand it was your birthday walk Marina, but I mean to say. For exercise, walk along the towpath, on each run. And avoid the very wet rain. Finally, it worries me about the condensation each morning. If its possible to find hard wood, not soft like pine etc...which creates tarring and creosote in the flue, but hard wood, put that on your fire last thing at night as a back log., reduce the air intake and the fire will keep ticking overnight. Not being familiar with your other timbers, might I suggest oak.? Also make room for your firewood under your stove, so that it stays dry. Gee wish I was able to visit you, then I could personally help deal with those issues. Take care and stay safe. Keep the videos coming. End of lecture. Lol. Atb.

[@petergedward5736]

Miles and Marina. What fabulous videos!!!! You are both so relaxed and show how to deal with what life throws our way. Very special people and a great pleasure to watch your fabulous journeys, Good luck to you both for ever,!!!!

[@guypidsley1572]

Better to be outside in the the rain than inside on a sunny day ! I feel refreshed having watched the video, everyone struggles with keeping the fire in at SOME time, probably cold comfort, hope the travels go well, and soon. Guy

Lovely - Happy Birthday! The standing stones are fantastic - I remember visiting there as a child with my parents - my late father had a fascination with such ancient monuments and was a believer in Ley Lines (Avebury is a great confluence of them) - I find such things really interesting and certainly recommend looking such things up - the books are out of print on the matter but there's lots on line! Thanks as always for a lovely vlog.

The energy there is surely quite special!

Another lovely video from two of my favourite people. We were at Avebury a few weeks ago. Very muddy in places. It must have been very frustrating when the fire wouldn’t go without a lot of effort. I can’t believe you got as cross as Miles made out. You’re always such a happy lady. I know exactly where you’re moored. Been there many times. Take care.

[@ralphwood9865]

Have the happiest birthday ever Marina, stay as sweet as you areXXX

[@RichardShipman]

Hi, I love the videos, but one thing is really bugging me. Every time you show your mooring lines you appear to be tying them on the bank, rather than running them back to the boat and tying off there. It's safer for other users of the towpath, as there's not a load of extra rope around the pins and rings, plus they're less likely to be messed with if they're tied up on the boat rather than the towpath. Stay safe out there, hope you manage to keep warm. xxx

Hotmax heatlogs are the bees knees. Not only made out of a renewable source, but a waste part of that renewable source, from horse bedding industry. . Easy to light an give out good heat, and smoke free once well lit. £11 for two 20 kilo bags in my parts. You can also break them ( with effort) into smaller size if just want reduced heat or shorter burntime.

Many happy returns Marina! Avebury, the surrounding area and frosty mornings are so cool! Just getting out regardless of weather or how you're feeling is just better!! Out of curiousity, you have the car, but are there online help groups that will help boaters running errands? Or do you rely on friends and family? Many of you often mention it's awkward getting stuff to and from your boats. Enough of us on land live near or pass the waterways. I'm sure many would volunteer. Just a thought. Also, loving how Myles is getting a little bit more sarcastic/ p@ss taking(in a good way) in the vlogs! Don't deny it!!😂👍

[@CruisingAlba]

There are groups for boaters and boaters are very helpful. In general if we need anything done we bring the boat into a town with amenities and get stuck in with a to do list. It was much easier when we lived in London we used to use our friends’ addresses for post! Myles is just warming up you haven’t seen nothing yet 😅

[@albionparrot5607]

We have pellet stoves in the US, but a lot cheaper… pellet stoves work great… huge btu output with no smoke and very little ash residue. The ash is a great PH balancer for gardening too

[@vivianewing7154]

I have a wood pellet stove and it has electric motors for exhaust and blow the heat into the room. When our electricity when out for 8 hours last week if it wasn't for our other wood stove we would have frozen and had to move into a hotel and the rest of the family in the nearby area was without electricity also.
