Just found your channel❤, life takes journeys. After losing my husband to Alzheimers 2 years ago, I made the decision to move to Newfoundland. Never been just said why not. Found my inner peace in my little house on the sea. Less is more. Nice to see u love winter. Its -22 tonight but everyday is a different view. Feel very blessed.

Hi Dave, another brilliant great video, do you know I never ever thought about putting my art on to ice what a fantastic idea, next time I shall have to do that. We just had a frozen canal up here on the grand union canal , -7 at one stage. I shall have to get a very long stick, thank you Dave for sharing the item. Take care until next time ❤

We travelled on the Canal Du Midi in Southern France with three other couples, all friends of many, many years. Most wonderful and memorable trip we ever took. While on the Canal we met a fellow, Dave, and his wife who had brought their narrow boat to France and were traveling the Canal. We met them several times as we moored along the way. He brought the four of us men an English beer saying it was better tasting than the French beers. Will never forget him or that experience. 0:30

Does the narrowboat move sideways a lot? I have motion sickness and have been wondering how life would be for me on one of those. Stillness and silence is our natural way of being. So many have forgotten it or turned away from it when in fact it is the medicine for the modern times.

[@inspiredbynature3]

Thank you for watching this episode 🙏 Although my narrowboat home has a flat bottomed hull, it does tilt / rock from side to side during windy conditions or if someone moves from side to side.

Your videos are very relaxing and inspiring but I've read that continuous cruisers can be constantly harassed by the river authorities, has anyone experienced this?

[@inspiredbynature3]

I've not experienced harassment. There are a lot of negative posts out there, and on other subjects too, and negative bad stuff unfortunately gets more publicity over the positive posts. Would be great if algorithms picked up the positive posts. But as we know, the human mind can feed on bad news and negative stories and then create fear in us. That fear, we've just got to deal with it and move on. There are many thousands of boaters living on water that are enjoying their way of life. As a continuous cruiser, I do abide by what is required of me, to move a certain distance and stay in one place no longer than 14 days. If I ever need to stay longer for health reasons, bad weather, or mechanical problems, I simply contact the canal and river trust, and let them know of my difficulties, and you can get permission to stay longer. There are rules in place that are needed, and they're there for good reasons. I'm appreciative and so lucky to be living this lifestyle. It's not everyone's cup of tea. It can be physically challenging, especially in winter. And the cost of living on water is going up a lot! But so is the cost of living in bricks and morter. For me, the biggest benefit is the surrounding nature. Thanks for tuning into my channel 🙏 Catch up on my latest story...
