I just read on You Tube that your little treasure, Dexter, has passed. My heartfelt sympathies to both of you. The following is a quote which I found very touching. It appeared above the grave of a famous horse. I think both of you will also feel this way. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, Id walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. He will always be with you. Lots of love to both of you. We will never forget Dexter.

Happy Friday! 🥰 I didn't dislike the light covers, but the darker gray just makes sense and so does getting rid of the zippers. With the skylight boxes painted it makes the look more cohesive. Also if the covers are lighter in weight that will make a big difference when taking them on and off and the turnbuckles will make it much faster. Looks great. 😊 Hope you had a good week and saw some summer! I had internet issues and had no service all day yesterday.

So much better..never liked the white covers and not keen on the tree paintwork…but now the green looks much better. Good job and interesting vlog. Morten from hospital in north Norway ….

So glad I found this channel. Quite a few on here are doing the same, but you guys are very enjoyable to watch. Love the new covers fellas. You do you

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel: the covers are so much more practical. Have a lovely week. ❤️

Paul you creat art, “magic” and videos, your magic is very important. I’ve watched a few videos on making covers, this is a way I’ve not seen, usually done through computer measuring, unless the videos just didn’t show template making. It really is important, in my opinion, to have this brilliant covered area for both summer and winter. I prefer the dark ones I must admit. They’re brilliant. We’ve been thinking more about a narrowboat and priced the airfares for the dogs, oh boy. Dani is always between 18 and 20kg and little Henry is 3.9kg, cost A$8528.00 for them to go to the UK, that’s so expensive when we can get there for A$1800, but not going without our babies. Great video guys. Love to the three of you and see you next week. ❤️

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Pauline. The templates were the white sheeting they put on. We had Amtrim covers on our first boat and they are a fabulous company. Love the darker ones too. That’s expensive. I wouldn’t want to do anywhere without your babies too. I do hope you find a way. Have a lovely week ❤️

Good day Paul, Anthony and Dexter! Ohhh! Very sharp! Love the new covers 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Just saw the post about Dexter 🥺.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Glad you like the covers Brigid. Definitely look loads better. We are devastated about Dexter ❤️

[@trindermon]

They look lovely, I did have to close my eye when someone is applying a drill to the hull though :) what a wonderful boat. hope you are both well. x

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thank you. We are made up. It is a bit strange to see someone drill the shell. Have a lovely week ❤️

[@omelaurus]

Thanks for ‘Covering’ this subject 😊 I just had the covers of my boat done but I wasn’t there when they measured and installed it. Great to see how much craftsmanship goes into it. I also love the no-nonsense attitude of your supplier.

[@denisemeredith2436]

The new covers look great and appear to have more windows in them than the old. The new covers make your boat look even better.

[@NarrowboatLifeUnlocked]

Thanks Denise. We are over the moon with them. Have a lovely week ❤️

[@FrankC321]
