How We're Surviving Lockdown On Our Narrowboat

[@thefrustratedboater]

Think you guys will end up being my weekly dose of positivity and happiness! It’s great to see! Cheers! 😀

[@CharliePauly]

Ah thanks so much! This means a lot 🙌🏼

[@philipizzard2584]

Hi guys thanks for sharing great videos missing the canal so much now stuck in sleepy Somerset love the canal so homely wish I was in one now stay safe x

[@CharliePauly]

Ah such a shame with all the lockdown at the minute! Hopefully you can get back onboard once it all clears! 🙌🏼

[@LUPUS1970]

Great to see how upbeat you are both keeping and funny as always , which put a smile on my face while I have a beer !! Keep safe guys !!

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks very much Robert! Love to hear this, enjoy that beer!

[@paulhouston-jones9198]

That's awesome guys. Love this channel and as a narrowboat owner myself but not live aboard I can't wait to get back out there. Been having a cheeky look at your interior set up as we've got a 40ft and looking to do some work in it later this year. Keep up the good work! :)

[@CharliePauly]

Ah thanks a lot Paul, love to hear this! Yes we love to layout of ours as it makes it as spacious as possible, but there are so many options as I'm sure you're aware! Thanks for the support.

[@kathrynmassey1188]

Hi from Singapore. Thanks for keeping us amused during lockdown. We have dutch barge in London, but I have always wanted a narrowboat or wide beam. Keep it up, loving it.

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks so much Kathryn! Sending love to Singapore, we were just talking yesterday about the dinners we had at Lau Pa Sat. Hope we can return after lockdown! 🙌🏼

[@kathrynmassey1188]

I'll swap you my flat here for your boat some time :-)

[@grahamball7243]

Probably tell I've been binging on canal boat videos since lockdown. You have to blame Robbie Cumming for that as his videos led onto yours being recommended. Both yours and Robbie's are excellent and very informative. This has also led to me watching other people's canal videos. I've decided I've got to wean myself off them and just keep to the high quality favourites of yours and Robbie's. Seeing you and Lauren so happy and in love really does feed the heart of this old romantic. Combined with my love of canal boats and hearing about worldwide travel makes your videos perfect in my eyes. Sorry if my comments waffle on a bit as I'm sure you have better things to do than having to reply to my comments. But when I see two young people who are totally committed to each other and their future I just have to write about how impressed I am. I have no time for people of my age who like to put down the younger generation like yourselves. Here's to slightly shorter comments from me in the future but I can't guarantee that. Best Wishes both of you.

[@CharliePauly]

Haha you're comments are always welcome here Graham. Always got time for this kind of positivity! Thanks so much for all the compliments and support, it means a lot!

[@MrFroglips69]

Enjoying both your uplifting spirits. So alive, and goofy funny. You both seem to have energy to spare. By the way, the TV series OZARK is groovy. I just finished watching the first 3 seasons. It starts off a little show, and then the characters grows on you and the story line plots go crazy. Real edge of your seats kind of stuff. Stay safe and groovy.

[@CharliePauly]

Ah thanks so much Mark! Love to hear this and glad you enjoy the vids. Haha either we have energy to spare or the lockdown is getting the best of us. Definitely going to try and stick with Ozark! 🙌🏼 We'll update you on the next one.

[@stewartrogers494]

Loved 'Ozarks"........have fun..........Stewart

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks Stewart! We're definitely going to stick with it, will give an update in the next vlog 🙌🏼

[@Kangela]

Hey from locked down South Africa, we are loving your channel. We are looking to buy and restore a narrow boat once we are able to travel again, and spend a few months cruising the canals. Keep it up and keep those videos coming, it takes discipline but is so worth the satisfaction. And yes, watch Ozark, as others have said, it takes a couple of episodes to get into, but is addictive once you do, I'm devastated to have finished watching the last episode of the latest season. Stay safe.

[@CharliePauly]

Hey thanks so much Chris! Sounds like a great plan, and we'll definitely be sticking with Ozark haha! Also thanks for the KZbin support, just getting into it recently but really enjoying the feedback so far. 🙌🏼

[@andy_nye]

Andy from boring old Dover,UK and just finish my watch at the Coastguard station. ,,, hopefully leaving the dream next year like you both ...Stay safe guys

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks very much for the support Andy! Hope you're safe down there in Dover, and fingers crossed for you!

[@carolynbasham9749]

You two are a joy to watch. Your densest of humour

[@carolynbasham9749]

Oops pressed send too soon. Your senses of humour will keep your relationship going through the years. I'm writing to in 2023. It was challenging to spend time together . Watching your videos brings cheer to everyone.

[@Cantorisalto1]

Hi, that was a super little tour. Is there any chance you could do a vlog on the engine bay ? Thanks

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks so much! We would do but our engine currently has an oil leak so hopefully once we get it fixed it will make a good vlog.

[@Cantorisalto1]

@@CharliePauly Ok Charlie thanks - will look forwards to that. Richard

[@cackieart]

Hi guys good to see you safe and well. Enjoyed the Freefall and Bungee videos, as i did this one. You both seem to be Naturals in front of Camera which makes for very enjoyable watching.. If you have any more travelling videos, well ones you can air lol, that would be nice, bring back a few memories for me, as when i went I never had a camera or Video with me so all my memories are locked up in my head, Cheers guys . stay Safe until next time

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback Mick. I was just saying to Lauren yesterday how gutted I am that I didn't start a KZbin 3 years ago, as we would have had an awesome amount of footage by now. But once this pandemic is over I'll be pumping the travel content for sure! 🙌🏼

[@rontanser9369]

Hi guys I’ve just found your channel you look such a happy couple I wish you all the best I really enjoyed watching this video I look out for the rest of your videos

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks so much!

[@wd502]

Hi guys, loving your vlogs, you ran past our house on the video..we had just moved in from Germany when lockdown came in so we feel your pain. Ozark is absolutely brilliant, you will be hooked on it. Anyway, we are just down West End, number 80 if you need anything...even a shower. Stay safe, Dougie and Sue.

[@CharliePauly]

Wow what a small world! Thanks so much for the support guys. We'll definitely be looking out for number 80 on our daily walks now haha. We've agreed we'll stick with Ozark seeing as the recommendations are so high! Speak soon.

Wow thanks so much Hell! Haha money savers over here. 🙌🏼

[@Thinkflite]

Another great video :) just a note mind, I notice you have lots of 240V applicants, I lost my first boat because of shore power and ahe was also a Springer. Are you guys using a galvanic isolator? Im on an off grid boat now with 500W of solar and an inverter, no hull erosion at all...its still has 5.9mm from 6mm sides from mid 80s. Just a point that may well be worth making take care 👍

[@CharliePauly]

Hey, thanks for the advice! We hadn't heard of that so will have to keep an eye on it! Sounds like you've got it nailed! 🙌🏼
