Young Couple Travels the OXFORD Canal on a NARROWBOAT

[@quebot1111]

Im a mother and grandmother and I found your channel this week and have been watching all of your videos. I live in America and you two remind me of my husband and me when we were younger. We have now been married going on 41 yrs and still love each others company. Just wanted to let you know that Im living my dream of off grid by watching your videos. Thank you so much for them. I am really enjoying them. I look forward to your next video. Susieque

[@CruisingAlba]

Aww you are so kind Susieque, what a lovely thing to say. So glad you are enjoying the videos! Have a wonderful day you two on the other side of the globe 🌍 😀❤️

[@philelliott5327]

Braunston village is a ten minute walk from the canal and has an excellent butcher that also sells fruit and veg. There is also a good sized convenience store. The Oxford is very rural and should be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Hi guys your videos are the best Thanks lots of love from Highlands of Scotland ♥️♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️♥️

[@CruisingAlba]

Hi Peter, you are very welcome, have a lovely day there in Scotland 😊❤️

[@brenda9990]

Enjoying your videos...from here in America. What a lovely life to live. Enjoy and appreciate.

[@CruisingAlba]

Hi Brenda, we try our best! Thank you so much for watching!

[@tmacdonald5824]

The music you select for your videos is always so lovely. Another great video, as always.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you Tabitha. Hope you and your family are doing well!! ❤️

[@kellinigh2398]

Beautiful sunset and great storytelling

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you Jules 💕

[@suzieq2958]

I have just started binging your vlogs after a mention by the lovely folk on NB Liberty and find you two a smashing addition to the many wonderful KZbinrs on the canals. I really don't understand people who need to 'dis' one channel in order to compliment another, do you? 😊💜

[@davekite]

Love your videos as bring back memories. Had our honeymoon on Shropshire union canal 46 years ago. Been down Oxford and grand union and Llangollen started with Brecon and Abergavenny as no locks!

[@EarthWatcher736]

Love the music and your calming narrative as always. A joy to watch.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you Mick!! 😊

[@drawbridgep]

Your videos are so calming. I feel more relaxed after watching them. Thanks for posting another great video.

[@CruisingAlba]

So happy to hear that ❤️ Have a lovely weekend 😊

[@desbuckle6907]

What a job that is, I think an electric winch and pulley system to lift up the mattress would come in handy ;)

[@waynemason3115]

Just like the blogs so much being a navy vet I could live on the water like you two .Stay safe can't wait to see next video.

[@colinsmith7576]

Great vlog. For future reference you went passed Napton junction, there is a well stocked village shop and post office just 5 minutes walking from the Folly pub.

[@annm6049]

Beautiful and breathtaking views xx

[@CruisingAlba]

Thanks Ann, you are very kind! 💕

[@ralphwood9865]

Good morning guys,some really gorgeous sunsets and photography in general.Mick Clayton is right your voice is so calming and leaves such a peaceful feeling,than you Marina Cheers from Canada

[@CruisingAlba]

So pleased! Have a lovely weekend 😊

[@margaretwyndham1957]

Aaah, the memories. Did that stretch of the Oxford Canal last year. Wonderful! There's a great little shop at Napton-on-the-Hill. We bought beautiful fresh bread and buffalo burgers. They have lots of other goodies too. Have you thought of putting gas struts under your bed frame? It would simplify your storage access.

[@CruisingAlba]

We might do in the future

[@davidbeakhust9797]

I can endorse the recommendation of the Napton Village Shop. It is not Tesco of course, but they have lots of regular kind of stuff, and also do food to eat in or take away. It is also a post office. Nearest access point is the bridge by Napton Bottom Lock. Check the hours though!

[@alanpilling3471]

[@paulbeech7276]

Great vid guys. Just caught a glimpse of a Ridge&Furrow field....Not that common anymore but got a couple round us in Derbyshire

[@chrislark5855]

Get rid of the bed slats ,replace with ply and fit gas struts,can get under the bed with out all the hassle then.

[@CruisingAlba]

That would be wonderful!

[@dottydot89]

Another fantastic video and the music was just beautiful. Thank you 😊😊

[@CruisingAlba]

Only just started watching your vlog and I love it. Where abouts are u? Me and my family are hoping to go away next Saturday to Wales to Monmouthshire and brecon canal. This has made me really excited for it xx

[@hellyavard8552]

I really enjoy your videos because they relaxing and informative. Thank you I also like the clothes changes i guess it denotes a new day . Cheers stay safe!

[@CruisingAlba]

Hey Helly, each episode covers 2-3 days on average ❤️

[@areguapiri]

@Helly Avard.....There is practically no danger on the canals.

[@johnb7644]

Have you looked at putting a couple of linear actuators fitted to to bed legs and you can lift the bed remotely using your 12v batteries, might save a lot of hassle

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Very relaxing channel great work .some nice well chosen music..we subscribed with ease.

[@CruisingAlba]

Wow thats so kind of you! Welcome ❤️ have a beautiful day 😊

[@ALifeFullofMeaning]

Thanks for the great vlog! We are hoping to do the Oxford Canal early next year.

[@CruisingAlba]

Amazing! well now you watched the vlog, you have an idea what to expect 😂 Big hugs 💜 xx

[@simon-nb-Betsyray]

Thank u again for a really lovely vlog every thing from the foot tapping music early on in the vlog, to the beautiful shades of the sun set shining and portraying the colors of the plants and the top of albas roof.☺️. I could see from urs eyes the disappointment when u said no Internet and tesco 1and half hrs away, that u did want to moor there. I did notice that u have ur own way of controlling the revs by using ur foot 👍. The scenery was spectacular again l loved the view with the windmill over looking the houses in the distance, Myles looked at home in the gallay is he a good cook lol? Stay safe and thanks again 😊. Simon

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you so much Simon, you are so kind to us. So happy you are enjoying our films. We hope you have a beautiful weekend! 😊❤️

[@johnmac6202]

Hi Guy, thought I would suggest to you keep three or four 1.5 bags of flour, ( for bread making) that way you will always have bread to eat the most versatile food you can have. make a list of what you can have with it.. mmm and smells nice when baking. John in New Zealand.. kaiora mai..

[@richardearth2848]

Oh no. Next week doesnt sound good. Ill watch with my eyes covered😉

[@CruisingAlba]

Haha 🤣 It is boat life at its most real!

[@julesstone7990]

Ahhhh great vlog thank you! x

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you Jules ❤️

[@stompy8648]

The video is so cool thank you! Can I ask where your white sun dress is from? it looks so pretty and cool!

[@CruisingAlba]

Hi Emma, oh thank you so much! The dress is from Thought clothing/Braintree but a couple of years old now

[@jonathanwilkins6071]

Great vlog, so relaxing and love the music...who is the female artist singing towards the end of your video...such a lovely song... Enjoy the good weather and hope you find a Tescos...Jonathan ( London )

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you Jonathan! All of the tracks are in the video description 😀❤️

[@dottydot89]

It is Know Me by Las Lunas. They are in Apple Music or this song is on KZbin if you search 😊😊

[@jonathanwilkins6071]

@@dottydot89 thank you....saved me time working through the list...Jonathan

[@vidalang8097]

The long tunnel how do you know when to go through as far a right of way?

[@CruisingAlba]

The tunnel is wide enough for two narrowboats, if you are on a widebeam than you need to book the tunnel passage with CRT.

[@Tom_YouTube_stole_my_handle]

Turn the mattress over if you're going to that trouble, you'll extend its life.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you for your advice 😊

[@johndashwood7671]

I watch many narrowboat vlogs and I think people like to watch realtime cruising rather than speeded up. But I may be wrong.

[@CruisingAlba]

Thank you for your comment John, we will have a think about it 😊

[@MylesIsAReallyLongName]

Hi john I thought the same! However you can turn down the speed on KZbin. There are three dots top right corner of the screen. I would suggest 0.25 very close to reality. Enjoy! 🤓🛥⚓️💗

[@EastStander091]

As usual another great video. A continuing refreshing change from the normal sterotype silver haired brigade.

Kok bisa keren gini? :O :D
