What’s Next For Us? Heading Into Year 3 On Our Narrowboat Home Ep 82

[@maryannecarmony441]

Simply love watching your vlogs! So relaxing, and your photography and choice of music is just beautiful. Looking forward to following you along your travels!

[@onedaymoreaboard]

That’s so lovely to hear, and exactly the mood I always want to create. Choosing just the right music is one of my favourite parts of the editing process and it’s lovely to hear you appreciate it 😊

[@Acapulc941]

It was so fun watching Poppy's little face expressing concentration and intention that Pete got that wending done successfully. I also love seeing how devoted they are to Pete, not wanting to leave his side. I can't wait to tag along on your journeys this year. Be well. Leigh

[@molinarodriguezteo]

Esto es vida! Thanks.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

¡Qué vida más maravillosa! Gracias por ver el vídeo.

[@themacs1974]

Caroline, you have a wonderful eye for image composition. Have you considered a calendar of your photos? Surely would sell well. 😎

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thank you so much! We’ve had quite a few viewers suggest the same so perhaps we should give it some more thought! 😊

[@dave_a81]

Fantastic video 😊 loved the still photos, the funky music during the 90 point turn, the dogs, the updates and the beautiful scenery. Can’t wait to see your adventures unfold. stay safe 😊

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks so much Dave! I definitely have fun choosing the music to go with the footage. Sometimes Pete hears me playing different music clips while I’m editing and says ‘you’re not making me look stupid are you’ 😂. Glad we are able to take you along on our travels by the power of KZbin 😊

[@FloatingOurBoat]

Nice to see you with a tiller in your hand Caroline 😮. Have fun when you meet up with your friends 😉

[@onedaymoreaboard]

I’ve been forcing myself to take the tiller more often, it’s the only way I’ll get over that fear! I told Pete I was going to take the boat up Foxton Locks when we left Debdale after blacking. His face was a picture 😂. I have no doubt we will have a wonderful time with our friends ❤️😘

Always always love your vlogs......keep it up guys......and thank you for sharing xxxx

It is a wonderful video as you and your crew are great. That Poppy is a most faithful little dog. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Caroline you and Pete are wonderful to have made all the videos you have. Take care and be safe.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thank you so much Izora! You’ve got the measure of Poppy just right, she is a faithful little dog for sure but definitely has a stubborn streak when she wants to do her own thing! Thanks for watching, it’s lovely to have you aboard 😊

[@ianross9086]

Been watching for a while out here in California, wondering if we will ever take the plunge and do a holiday on the UK canals. You two inspire us to maybe slow our role and try narrow boating. Like you all lots.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

That’s so lovely to hear! You know you will get a raving recommendation from us! It’s certainly the way to travel, and a beautiful way to see the UK 😊

[@jacquelineryde7339]

Great tip about the diesel additive 👍 Debbie is brilliant love her embroidery. Super to see you in real time 😂 and look forward to catching up again ❤❤❤❤

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Anything to keep away diesel bug! There was a much longer explanation from Pete but for some reason the audio was totally out of sync with his mouth so I had to cut some of it! He can tell you in person over a drink. Scintillating boating conversation 😂😂. Hope you are all well, see you soon 😊

Now that you have you shirts done, you'll need to get bandanas done for Hamish and Poppy to wear

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Now there’s an idea! Thanks for watching 😊

[@crochetgram]

Love your vlogs… video footage, informative descriptions and insights into life on a narrowboat! Especially love Alex’s song- fits your adventure perfectly 🙂 🙂

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Our pleasure! It’s lovely to hear that you’re enjoying the vlogs. Alex has written some of the music that I use (the opening few notes is part of a longer piece he wrote) and some other solo guitar pieces. The song we use at the end is actually not one of Alex’s though. It’s Time On Our Side by Ten Towers. You can hear the full version on KZbin here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn7UopiOq9OebZosi=IGP1J1-OJUx0F0KT 😊

Always glad to help out. Cannot wait to see how the new mikes work out for you. Thank you for the video. Been a bit behind on watching your video's. Our youngest 'finally' got married (age 43) last weekend. To a lovely lady. We now have a daughter and granddaughter. Married at a farm / barn setting. (now a venue) Out in the countryside and it was lovely. Weather - hot / humid / rain and possible storms tonight. Bad flooding out in some places in Iowa. (breached dike and town flooded) Under a flash flood watch here also. Take care - hope the puppies / family and you are all doing well. God Bless.

Brilliant video - so great to see some you and Pete time and the inside of your narrowboat. Your video is SO professional with the maps, music and dialogue. Well done - we’re in the UK to meet with Bluewater boats first 2 weeks of October be great to buy you lunch if you’re around…

[@onedaymoreaboard]

That’s lovely to hear Swanny! I promised I would show more of our life didn’t I! Exciting times ahead for you. Make sure you message nearer the date. It would be great to get together in real life for lunch! 😊

[@KarenSFrancis]

I wonder, how many of your viewers duck when you go under a bridge. Poppy is a very busy lady...Hamish is a sweet older man who has his dad's number!! That Sunday Lunch idea, what a great plan, go from one good Sunday Lunch place to the next Sunday Lunch. Love your vlogs and the B&W shots.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

That’s so lovely to hear Karen! You certainly have Hamish and Poppy figured out perfectly! And yes, a tour of Sunday lunches across the UK is what this life is all about, all though we do enjoy some wonderful home made ones on board from master chef Pete 😊

[@raineysmith3303]

I'm curious what the long tunnels pass under. Hope the coming year's travels will be full of adventure and more lovely scenery.

[@jillosler9353]

Your vlogs are always so full of interesting things to hear and see that sometimes I miss the obvious. It wasn't until Pete went down in the Watford Locks that I realised you only have 2 solar panels on the roof. Are they 'high power' (non-technical term 🙄 meaning do you rely on a generator or are they strong enough to run all you need?). Your plans for the rest of 2024 look great - here's hoping the weather and the gods are on your side this year. Already looking forward to your next vlog; and seeing you enjoy Sunday lunch 🤞. Cuddles to Hamish and Poppy, and safe cruising to you. ❤

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Always lovely to hear that you are enjoying the videos Jill! We have 500W of solar panels and since we upgraded our batteries we have seen a huge improvement and not had to run our engine so much to charge the batteries. If we ever had a new boat built we would probably add another solar panel though 😊

[@dirkin]

Wonderful! I shall look forward to joining you on your travels. X

Hi, Thanks for a lovely vlog. Good to see Christine steering. Practise makes perfect. We have just come down the Shroppie and the Severn to Sharpness and will be going up the Avon in a month or so. I you see Rainboat again then please say hello. By the way the boat you showed from The Hinkley works in Netherton is where the anchor for the titanic was made. We Nethertonians say it was the only part that worked properly ;-)

[@onedaymoreaboard]

We will be sure to look out for you on our travels! We are excited to explore new waters. The only part that worked properly! That’s true 😂

Just looking at the title, we're half way through the year !!! Love the dogs tho.

I’ve changed the title a little, but as we didn’t leave the marina until mid April they are still our 2024 cruising plans I guess 😂. Thanks for watching 😊

[@wynparsons4109]

Sunday lunch ….great idea . That’s what’s wrong with society , not enough people sit down for a proper Sunday lunch 😊

[@onedaymoreaboard]

You’re so right! Coming together round the dinner table is one of the easiest ways of staying connected as a family. We had some of the best conversations over dinner with our children growing up 😊

[@fraserrowedianekincaid6988]

Gloucester is certainly worth going to. As to going down to Sharpness…….hmmm….. unless you are going to go across to Bristol which really requires a pilot, it isn’t that interesting. The canal is straight as with nothing on the way and Sharpness was very underwhelming. The trip across the River Severn to Bristol would be brave but a great achievement🤪🤪

[@onedaymoreaboard]

We are not up for being that brave to go across to Bristol having seen a few videos! A bit like when we went down to Boston but decided against crossing The Wash! We’ve heard such mixed reviews about the Gloucester & Sharpness so the jury is still out on whether we go down that far or just turn at Gloucester. I think time will be a factor when we actually get down there. It’s good to hear other people’s experiences though, thanks for watching 😊

[@lockingthroughlife2587]

Another beautiful vlog. Loved the Crick tunnel shots and the new style of more talking to camera. I know how Pete felt in that tunnel though, I hate getting my hair wet too 😂. Loves Pete’s concentration as he tries not to look back at the bridges, and get you steering through bridges…..with no standing box needed unlike me 😂. The years plans look great. Fab outro too. See you soon. Take care ❤xx

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thank you! Breaking our tradition and making ourselves talk more to camera, especially me! You’ll need a big old rain hat to keep your hair dry! See you soon xxx

How did you know it was clear for you to travel through Crick tunnel? Enjoy your vlogs 😊😊

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks so much! Crick tunnel is two way, so you don’t wait for it to be clear to go through. You just keep everything crossed that you don’t meet anything coming the other way as it’s a tight squeeze but doable! 😊

Watching your video tonight. Question, can you not turn around in a marina? Seeing you pass two marinas to get to that tight winding hole.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks for watching Jim! Marina entrances are not designated winding holes and some can be quite unhappy if you try to turn there, especially when we are so close to an actual winding hole. We like to keep everyone happy 😊

[@John-s3t6q]

I did notice that you do not use the horn as much as Martin on Rhapsody in Blue.

I think Martin’s klaxon horn is second to none on the cut for sure! 😂

[@johnhill9381]

Why could'nt you do a u-turn at the marina?

[@onedaymoreaboard]

The marina isn’t a designated winding hole, and some get annoyed if they are used as such, but the actual winding hole is only a little further up the canal so it wasn’t a problem 😊

[@Rangergoal]

Could you have turned at the Crick Marina?

[@onedaymoreaboard]

It’s not a designated winding hole, and some marinas are not keen on being used as such, so we try and avoid it wherever possible. Luckily there’s a winding hole less than a mile up the canal from Crick Marina so it was easy. Thanks for watching 😊

[@graemeoliver179]

Why didnt you wind at crick marina

[@onedaymoreaboard]

It's not a designated winding hole at the marina entrance, and as there is a winding hole just up the way it's better etiquette not to use it if at all possible. Thanks for watching 😊

he did great in that tunnel it was long enough i dont know how you both do it it must be hard to drive in the dark wet tunnel so i give him ten out of ten very good he makes it look easy but i bet its not

May be just Marin playing up Julie .

I think you may be right there John, especially as Julie often sits at the front right next to the horn 😂

On the other hand, I can only understand metres, feet and inches make no sense to me. 18 metres is six storeys, or ground floor, four floors and the roof in building terms.

We were saying how mixed up we are in the UK using imperial on the roads, with miles and yards yet metric for everything else, but most people of our age still visualise imperial! You mainland Europeans have it sorted! 😂😊

[@lorrainekalmin9944]

Where the goodness did the word winding come from. It doesn’t seem to relate to what it means in any way.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Back in the days when the boats were pulled by horses they used the wind to help turn, hence the term winding hole 😊
