[@russellsprout2223]

Wow! A proper narrowboat. Absolutely stunning. 👍

[@colinogilvie4048]

Awesome to see Maggie after weeks on anticipation, what a wonderful boat... loads of space, perfect life on boad and also for cruising...

[@tonycarter3756]

To say l’m green with envy would be an understatement.An FMC trad ,the interior looks really homely, and the engine,back cabin !Congrats and thanks for the tour 👍

[@simon-nb-Betsyray]

I can't wait to see what u do with Maggie, and the new adventures that lie ahead for you

[@thomasmackenzie7811]

Sooooo Happy 😊 for you !!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏!!!!

[@cin032264]

Congratulations Lizbef, Maggie looks perfect for you! She is sure to feed your artist's soul and I can't wait to see your adventures together!

[@zzzzz31a]

Just spotted you on tv. I’ll be now watching every episode on YT. Good luck Maggie.

[@danielmoss2394]

That was so awesome and uplifting to watch. The whole piece just exploded with joy.... we could see it and feel it with you.

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see your new home.

[@braithmiller]

Great lighting and character the old breakfast should be a fine paint spot.

[@EarleWrites]

That's my thinking! Will be lovely to paint whilst looking out of the window! Big love and thank you as always! ❤️

[@1roanstephen]

Wow. You have really hit the jack pot here. I am glad this worked out for you. May your new home be a joy and comfort for years to come. It will be a bit of a change from refurbishing Leviathan to maintaining Maggie. I should think the maintaining will be a bit easier and less stressful. May you always be blessed.

[@telfow1]

I enjoy your you that you show on the tube of you. lol. cheers mate.

[@DroneHum]

I love what you have chosen and how honest you are about living on a narrow boat! Living like this can be hard. I know something about this - the last five years I spent in a small caravan that I bought cheaply and renovated 😀 myself. I used to repair computers for local people. Now, I am trying to start a drone business. Well, I'm wishing you all the best and hope the spring comes quickly!

[@johnallen148]

Hi Elizabeth,thank you for showing me around Maggie what a lovely old boat bet she could tell us a story or two ,just love your engine room to see your vintage engine you don’t see if any with Armstrong Siddeley engine how old is the engine please really enjoyed this blog especially the engine room yes I just love vintage engine till next time take care keep yourself safe,lots of love big hug 🤗,John 🌹🙏👀🤩🤝👏🦮🦮🥳🧐😛😘🥰😍

[@lydiaajohnson]

Lis--OMG! She's perfect! IT seems that when other cruisers see that you are serious, they will take you in as part of the community. They see that you're serious because of the work you put into the other boat and the time you put in traveling aboard her. You are in. You have come so so far from the days aboard Delos Lis with all the projects you've taken on since then. What growth!

[@tjack49er]

It’s great to see you moving forward so well, what a great adventure your life seems to be. I admire your drive to keep after it regardless and your creative beauty is unmatched.

[@pamm5287]

Congratulations on Maggie & I can't wait to watch all of your adventures. Be careful & stay safe out there. 🤗

[@siypic]

Sometimes you find little gems on YT........... this is one of them

[@andrewhenley7691]

That looks like a fabulous bote, perfek for lizbef. I've just moved onto a 60 footer myself, Happy cruising my friend, I hope to sail the Atlantic one day. It's on my bucket list. XX happy crusing Lizbef.

[@dozergyp]

Hi Lizbef, Well done, you have a great boat, Look forward to see you master the boat and all the jobs which it needs to keep her running nice, very happy for you ❤️

[@courierdog1941]

One of the first things I would add would be wireless lighting controls so you can turn on and off each and everything from your phone. Vintage is one thing, but the practical part is you control the boat, the boat does not control you. Cheers

[@debrawondergem1528]

Oooh Lizbef, I’m so happy for you! You look so relaxed and serene in your new home. I can’t wait for the next installment of the chronicles of you life. Love and hugs from sunny Arizona 💖😎💖

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you so much, Debra! New video will be up on Friday! Big love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@davidclutterbuck7076]

Dear Liz, Last time I saw you it was on Delos and you were attached to. French chap. I sailed the Atlantic a few years ago.. Nice to see you on the cut. We are up on the Coventry. David

[@ianwebb2235]

A fantastic boat,,,,, おめでとう - congratulations!

[@ruthlong6876]

Best of luck with Maggie and best wishes on all your travels, please keep us informed, can't wait to see the next video, thank you for sharing, til next time 👍🙏❤️😎bye

[@michealgomez1259]

Best live ever. Your home is beautiful. Bless. Is that a new dog?

[@janeymacbarge8132]

Best of luck with Maggie, I think your great and love watching your Channel.....

[@jackbeyer4356]

We too will be on "the Maggie" next week, Jiune 10. Our Maggie or Maggy is out of North Kilworth Marina near where you redid the Levithan. Doing the Leicester Ring. Hope we run into you.

[@brp1817]

I’m so happy for you❤️ she is beautiful! A new chapter, how exciting. Sending many blessings your way⛵️

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm excited for the future!

[@tomas5376]

Felicidates! Can't wait to see Maggie under way. Who's the new dog, and where's your old dog? Also can't wait to hear that old 2 cylinder engine!

[@EarleWrites]

Hey buddy! This is Bonnie- she's my friend's dog. Leela stayed with my folks during this trip as I think she would have been a bit scared! Especially through the locks!

[@margaretpijnaker9922]

Have you had a hull survey ?

[@davidbramley6730]

Hi Liz. A testament to how well these hulls were constructed back then. Armstrong motors is a important part of Coventry's motor industry. Never seen a marine of this type. Dave

[@pjotrh]

Good to see u happy for another adventure Liz!

[@johnwadlow2617]

Looking forward to following your "Maggie" journey !!!

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you so much, John!

[@maryruine]

Been watching you from when you first bought Leviathan and was impressed with how you turned her into a home from a shell. I was moored in Braunston Marina next to Malvern when it was up for sale and saw the improvements Ian made when he bought her and also saw how he adopted the dog that in itself is a story. Hopefully you’ll pass us some day and we can have a chat. We have many photos of Malvern. Good luck in you new adventure and hope we meet some day. 👍🍀

[@123turby]

You are movin on up girl. This is just awesome,it’s a big responsibility but I’m sure you are up to it. All the best and happy boating 🛶.

[@Stu28732]

Love your channel..look forward to the next episode… take care be safe.

[@alansmith3378]

You are an impressive woman for sure! I wouldn't have painted your ceiling blue, as that tends to darken the inside, but you did make it look good so all credit to you.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

4:50 that's not a piece, that's a slab!😀

[@DoctorBob1]

Great boat Liz. Stay warm and good luck 😊

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you, buddy!!

[@andrewholloway231]

Hello there, your narrowboat is amazing.

[@chrisoleary9876]

Congratulations Lizbef! Gracias!

[@MrIdleknight]

Maggie is amazing looking forward to seeing what you do with her and where you go.

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you! I'm excited too!

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

Good luck with Maggie. Follow your dreams. 👍

[@DougVarble]

I have been following since to Delos, big strep😎

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you so much, Doug! That means a lot!!

[@C_C_SEA]

May *The Great Infinite* look after yourself, Ian's sweet ole dog, and Ian's heritage narrowboat. Holding highest intention for best outcomes for all parties circumstantially entangled .. Go well ole thing ⚓🙏

[@iggymac3473]

so good to see you liz hope all is well

[@Oldmarine1952]

Go girl - have fun!

[@SP-os9pf]

Congrats luv !! 💓

[@johnnyhag675]

Lookin' good Liz. So is Maggie.

[@SuperDaveyoutube]

Shout up if you ever need a part time crewman for difficult lock flights etc. Seriously.👍 I used to work on Manchester Ship Canal and I to crewed on Ullswater Steamers for a year too. I cannot afford a narrow boat of my own.

[@pope1089]

What you have there is my dream. I've had a hard life relationship wise and money. An what you have there is absolute solace. I'm 47 this year and I'm still dreaming of my boat house. Well done you

[@xavierbonneyrat4864]

Gorgeous boat ! 😘☺️👍 Still have problem with your sync… (sound with image)… you should try to enquiry about it. 😉

[@drain_001]

Anyone else notice like 3 minutes of black screen at the end? Also, grats Liz boat looks great!

[@EarleWrites]

Whoops, sorry about that! So glad you like Maggie! I'm well happy!

[@davep5788]

That's a big boat. Are you planning on doing a lot of moving about or is she mostly going to be a stay at home liveaboard? Either way, I look forward to seeing what you do with her.

[@EarleWrites]

I'm going to be continuously cruising- will be doing the Ashby this Summer and then afterwards, who knows! Just trying to settle Leela into boat life and get her used to all of the sounds. ☺️

[@Pomybasterd]

Hi from Australian so how much did you pay for it

[@marco020272]

😯Salted caramel cheese cake😋🤤

[@tashuawheeler1834]

Living on a Ship/Boat full time is a good fun and can save you from all the floods and extreme cold/heat in the World

[@EarleWrites]

And a Zombie apocalypse. 🙏

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Aldi! Frikkadellen! Nom! 🙂 KFC! Chicken sandwiches! Nom! 🙂 Your beautiful smile! 🙂 New boat! 🙂 Things couldn't get better! 🙂

[@jansjorup5721]

I am sure with your artistic talent, she’s in good hands and ill look beautiful.

[@Allottedaaron]

One thing you didn't cover is the cost. I know you have sold leviathan but that is a much smaller boat and unlikely to cover the cost of an upgrade like Maggie. Where did the rest of the money come from? If the money was there, why put the effort into a smaller project boat? I am just a bit confused.

[@rasspud9673]

Good for you girl 👍 well gel

[@carolgale2590]

Congrats

[@stevemumbling7720]

Very nice rustic looking boat. Did I hear you right, she's 100 years old? I hope you had the hull checked by someone independent.

[@EarleWrites]

Hey man! Yup. 1928. She's had a lot of time and money put into her from her past owners, got all her checks done. Because she's a historical boat, each owner has a serious duty of care to her, so she's beautifully maintained.

[@stevemumbling7720]

@@EarleWrites She certainly looks great. I'm surprised you didn't get a free horse to pull her along.

[@artamereenshort6610]

I'm very happy to see your Maggie see on Instagram. Love the interior configuration

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you so much!! 🖤

[@jongriffin-u8v]

Lush boat x

[@paulmac3249]

A wee bit larger than Maggie on Delos....but she does look great...

[@EarleWrites]

Haha, just a bit! 🤣

[@robertgregory3416]

If you work as hard on this one as the last, I’m sure it will be amazing.

[@EarleWrites]

Thank you, Robert, that is so kind of you to say ❤️

[@johneldard6673]

Where is your dog?

[@EarleWrites]

Sleepover at my folks whilst I moved Maggie- didn't want to introduce Leela to Maggie for the first time and put her through too much by doing locks all at once.

[@dww0013]

Where is Nelah?

[@EarleWrites]

I popped over Maggie to dogsit for the previous owner whilst he and his lady went to the theatre- Leela couldn't come, as I think it would have been a bit "much."

[@dww0013]

@@EarleWrites okay. Glad to know She’s okay too. 👍

[@biker-dog-poppy]

you look good in the mornings!!!... i would sure be happy to wake up next to you lol x

don’t talk to women like that, show some respect.
