Little tip for you regarding your landline..... Plug it into the boat before you plug it into the bollard, you don't want to fall in the water holding a live shoreline 😋, unplug in reverse ie the bollard first. 👍

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Great tip thank you!

[@BoatTime]

that mooring is lovely!! gonna be amazing in the summer 😍🌼 congrats!

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Thanks so much! 🤩

[@philelliott5327]

That's a nice looking mooring! I have a mantra when moving the boat.."what's the worst that can happen at two miles an hour??"😂

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Haha! Good thinking! Thanks for watching :)

[@Bugs1953]

Bless you Chloe you do look tired! Look after yourselves.😊

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We don’t like our early mornings! Haha thanks for watching :)

[@MrPeterJMilner]

Good morning both of you, welcome to your new mooring, it looks absolutely fabulous. In terms of not being confident in boaty type stuff, there are numerous courses from helmsman to engine maintenance to welding should you need it and many other things. I have owned boats for many years and do all my own maintenance and work. I a currently replacing my whole electrical system with Victron kit, including lithium batteries. My whole system is controlled by a computer called a Raspberry Pi. I am happy to give you any guidance or help you need if you would like. Take care, Peter. x

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Thanks so much for this! Great to keep in mind :)

❤ Shep!! What he doesn’t know about boat manoeuvres isn’t worth knowing!

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

What a legend!!!

[@robinhall3347]

Very nice mooring, lucky you! Like having a private patio, boat-side.

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We love it! :) thanks for watching

[@Meinoz]

Looks like a lovely spot 🥰

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Thank you :)

The quicker you make your mistakes the quicker you learn to cruise ! My first ever cruise consisted of a convoy of 14 boats cruising side by side down the river Don. Having spent my first 10 wks in sheffield city centre awaiting water levels to drop out of flood on the Don , i fearfully , in 14th place set off on a 20 mile journey, assisted by British waterways engineers at the front guiding our way in mid amber ! Iwe all had on several occasions had to take avasive manoeuvres to dodge floating container bins , a 30ft long tree , and random debris but nothing had prepared any of us when we turned a long bend to find a commercial sand barge resting its front and rear on either bankside waiting its turn to the foundary 😂 When youve turned on a fast flowing river like your in a car on two wheels youd think thats the worse ...guess again ! But thats part of the journey.... 19 years on , I have a loverly peaceful mooring and so very grateful ... Enjoy the cut ❤

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Sounds dramatic!! Well done, thanks so much for watching :)

[@edwardhoughton2565]

You will get there Xx

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Thank you :)

[@rickp.7358]

That's a difficult finger mooring to get in and out from. Lovely marina though.

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We are glad we had help! Thanks for watching :)

[@jimmunro4649]

Never learn if someone else is doing steering Get someone who no what is what hang out with you for few hours show you

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Yep this is a good idea thanks!

[@Stirling3509]

Paradise mooring ❤

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We love it ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Lovely mooring is that all in the marina ? How lovely is that tho. Enjoy

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Yep all inside the same marina! We are very lucky :)

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

@@ryanandchloenarrowboat that is awesome. Wow. I dream to live on the canals but a garden mooring would be ideal for the dogs. Brilliant idea. Best wishes

[@JanetHinton-uv9lr]

Hi guys! Where is this location? Looks, a great place and is this where you have been throughout the renovation?

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Hi we are in Cambridgeshire - we have been in a couple different marinas during the renovation but planning to stay here for now!

[@rebeccafagan2927]

Just found your channel, where is that location?

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We are in Cambridgeshire :)

[@simon-nb-Betsyray]

Practice makes perfect, little steps and then one day it will fall in2 place.

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Thanks :)

[@christianholder5792]

How do you do your washing on a boat then

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Maybe we will do a video on this !

[@andymc97]

Hope you have a galvanic isolator

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

We do indeed :)

[@user-zc3pt5oh6r]

How long can you moor there

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

As long as we like! At the marina’s discretion :)

[@christianholder5792]

What does it cost to live on boat then

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Every marina is different - we are planning on doing I video on this topic soon :)

[@christianholder5792]

Are you liking living on a boat then

[@ryanandchloenarrowboat]

Love it thank you!
