Ok im gonna step out on a limb here as a live aboard myself here in the states and the narrow boaters have always fascinated me. So when i got a chance to go to England the first thing i did was head for the canals. Now the majority take pride in their boats just like here at home. The only difference i saw was the lack of pride of their moorings and the surrounding area of the boat. Yes i anchor here on the river and pay no rent but i keep the area clean of trash and i own a mower and a hand operated weed whip to keep the brush down. There i found that to get to some of the moorings you had to wade through waste deep grass and trash left behind by other boaters. When i asked why not clean up the area and maybe the government and land owners would have a different take on the boaters i got the same answer from everybody. Its not my trash, why should i clean it up that is the waterways job.Some areas are beyond being called a dump and it was all left by the boaters. We have a saying here in the states. Don"t shit in your own back yard and you will not attract flies. Take a little British pride in your waterways. Clean them up, scrape and paint the locks, mow the grass, paint over the graffiti and turn in those dumping their trash and garbage on the banks. Start yourselves a narrow boat association and work with the waterways. Yes they might be an ass but if you treat an ass like an angel they will come around.

guess what ass. im from yorkshire just happen to live in the states now. If you read my post it says im here in the states. Not from the states.
+William Gruff How rude can you be? The man is right, whether you like it or not. Litter is a huge problem in Britain and the canal ways are no exception. Personally, I'm sick to death of people in this country leaving their filth behind them for someone else to deal with. If British people cleaned up after themselves, it'd save an absolute fortune.
+William Gruff Oh yes, you've made yourself perfectly clear. This is the message I get: You are a foul-mouthed, intolerant, misogynistic, racist bigot who gets all of his misinformation from the Daily Mail.
I live on the K&A and the people I see dropping litter are British. The boats that are surrounded by rubbish have British people aboard. Not all Brits are filthy, but the filthy people I see are British. You can rant and rave and call people names until you're blue in the face. The facts are the facts. The hateful bile you vomit out isn't fact, it's tabloid, UKIP-driven fiction and thus makes any debate with you utterly pointless because you live in a haze of hate-filled fantasy and will never, ever see the world as it really is.
Back under your bridge, troll.
Mikel Garman -the thing is with canal people is ,it the case of the good the bad and the ugly
very interesting and informative video, i lived on a boat for a year and was constantly harassed by british waterways ,who tried to push me into a full time mooring no were near my work and and i wouldnt be able to live on it full time ,but that hasnt put me off i miss the lifestyle and would get back to living on the water tomorrow if i could
Thankyou, .... I'm learning...Thishas been a big 'eye-opener'..Although my daughter is 19 and grown up now, I am impressed by the flexibility of parents with children 'on board'. I'm not all 'rosey-eyed' as a newbie!..but I do love the idea of this style of life. I feel it it my bones ..that this lifestyle change is right for me, and look forwardto meeting lovely people ...on the canal. I am a chef, and would love to provide home made bread for my fellow water-gypsies... - for free of course! :)
There are different types of license most of these people seem to have opted for a CC license which is a constant cruising license. This means by opting for this they would agree to the 14 day rule. They could pay for the more permanent version and stay in a mariner or paid facility. It is a case of you pay your money and make your choice, a contract for a CC license, by its very nature, means moving by an agreed amount.
6:32 Use composting toilets on your boat.You can also incinerate the sewage in your wood stove.Composting toilets cost nothing to use.
Live n let live......
Enjoyed ur video. I live in USA. Been on a boat since I was 2. Wouldn't give it up for nothing. I will die on my boat. But rent a slip with electric, water, trash & TV. The only thing I have to mess with is the waste. I can go about a month before I have to dump. It's a shame these people r forced to move after so many days. These people seem to respect the water. Others who don't live on boats don't. Which is a shame. Everyone should have to take a class for 3 mo. before they even own a boat.
Thank you lovely video I have just got my first boat and really looking forward to joining the water system. Firstly I have to figure out how to paint my boat back to a loving boat so any tips more than appreciated. cheers
Hi,
It was made by a company called 'True Vision' so they will have either commissioned it or more likely found it in a sound library and paid for a licence to use it

It hurts me to hear how a free country, fought for by our country men in the past, is over ruled by an entity or entities. Let us stand up for all that is ours, embrace such ways of life and learn from a pandemic that the people own this land and water and entities are merely the peoples service not the holding us to ransom or pushing people away from what people want.
Very good thanks where is musicfrom please?
how much do moorings cost? are they hard to come by?
I don't think the Canadian government would tolerate anything like it . Cheer's and good luck !
But you knew this before you moved onto the boat. I see the Canal over seers makes a bit stiffer rules but I also see boaters stretching the rules their way as well. I see this along the line of the issue we have here with " camping". People come to our city because we do allow camping of a sort in the city. But humans being humans they stretch this rule and that rule and now we have camping that was not originally thought of. There is many sides to all these issues. It does seem that if your using a boat to live because housing is to expensive then that seems to be out of line. The canals seem to be looked on as recreational and not substance. Best wishes to your problem.
In ways seems the same challenges all of us have that are the worker bees of society.
Very interesting. Inspiring as well...people doing what they must to get by :)
maybe if the community could embrace them more. Once a week have a fair. the wordsmith could do well. boom up with local farmers and make it a farmers market.
what happens if you tell the waterways to go do one ? to me there are too many laws on boaters who just want to live a peacefull life and be left alone .what happens if you can,t move your boat because your engine has broken down and don,t have the money to fix it ?
bravo kiera attitudes like that are why London, Bath etc are clogged with nose to tail rule breakers. Regular visiting boaters can't find a space to stay for a single night. If your engine breaks down, the CRT will allow you a short extension to the 14 days in only place rule to get it fixed. Continuous cruising licences are for people who want to navigate the whole system, not live in one little stretch for next to nothing.
Slips in this part of uk cost £300 $700 per month ////
The moral of the story is the government is always making it harder
Boat...bring out another thousand !
If everyone is forced to move every 14 days...just so another boat can come along and take that same spot, what exactly is that really accomplishing? (haven't seen the laws -just seems like a dog chasing its tail(?)
Control.
+Traci Lee we have a massive housing problem in this country. these people are easing the pressure. its something that should be really explored and encouraged, not made harder. Its a way of life that is becoming more and more appealing to me.
Traci Lee very good point.
There is a demand for mooring places, people holidaying on hired boats needs places to moor for the night, they are the priority as well as people who actually continually cruise who bought the licence and require the service, CC is not really designed for hopping around in one spot to work. I am not for or against anything here before anyone decides to tell me off.
What kind of distance is required for the boat to be moved every two weeks?
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Leo Samir instablaster =)
@Reid Axel i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Reid Axel it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Leo Samir No problem =)
I think me and the waterboard would not get on from day one I don't do authorities telling me what to do
That's a million £ question - it's not stated in Law
There is no such thing as 'a continuous cruiser agreement'. If you are referring to the license then boaters are bullied into paying for one. The 'rules'on the canal do not take into account that people may live on their boats, they are based on the old working boats.
Here's an idea, want to stay in one place, buy a mooring. Want to remain in an area where you work/take your kids to school? Buy a mooring. Can't afford a mooring and choose to continuously cruise? Then move.
The issue is that these people want to be listed as a continuous cruiser while staying in one place so they don't have to pay council tax, mooring fees etc, then moan when British Waterways (Now CRT) pick up on it and send you a letter. CRT aren't picking on you, you are breaking the rules and turning the towpath into your personal slum.
16:12 they're moaning about difficulties, look at the weight of that plank !!!
Unfortunately you pay your money you take ya choice don't pay any money your options are slim couldn't they combine some sort of council tax for this privilege
Winnie Wallace.... These people seem to want it all and even more. Most of them are a bunch of free loaders. Stick a camera in front of them and they'll moan for England. After watching this I decided that canal boat life wasn't at all like I'd imagined.. If you want a stressful life,? Get a boat.
This is what your teeth will look like under Obamacare.
Do you have any evidence to back up this claim 2 years later? Or was this just another non-ironic whinging, "thanks Obama," BS post?
You could try a new tack, like, "hey Senate, why don't you do your job?" They can hold hearings and vote down the nomination of Merrick Garland if they don't want him for the Supreme Court, but to not even take a vote is an abstention of their duties. There should be a way to impeach every Senator who is willingly failing to do his or her duty in the SCOTUS nomination process.
I say, seat Merrick Garland, since the Senate has had a chance to, "advise and consent," but deigned not to do so.
+Mark M ask your dentist, if you have one.
bob Last Why ask? Ask about what, your non-existent doomsday scenario? I don't even understand what you want me to ask my dentist. I do have a dentist, What is your point (if you have one)?
Hyuck hyuck, sick burn, Cletus.
wow you must live a lovely life in your house , would you sooner it was just holiday boats making you more money dont we have the right to choose our life style in england anymore . your sounding like a jobs worth
If you have a fixed place of work, or children in school pay for a fully legal residential mooring! Don't abuse the licence and spoil it for other boaters by moving a few yards every two weeks on same short stretch of water. That's not "navigating" by any stretch of the imagination. This canal passes through some of the most expensive places to live in the country. Why do certain types think they have the right to live there for next to nothing?
Boats are for boating not mooring. If you want to stay in one place and not be disturbed by boats that are moving moor in a marina or better still get a caravan.
no spell check.
That man with the 2 yr. old baby daughter looks like Peter Sutcliff & to old to have a lil child that young.

Oh dear all I am hearing is moaning, you lot chose your way of life and unfortunatly living on the cut means rules and regulations something we all have to abide to. But living on a boat looks much harder, having to dispose of your own shit must be a pain, not like us who are land dwellers who just flush. So where is the point of living afloat, there are so many obstacles to get over and a pretty price to pay, in all ways.....
I'm so confused. I don't feel any sympathy for these people. At the end of the day they chose this life, and if they refuse to buy a permanent mooring why should anyone give a shit? The councils are the ones forking out to keep these canals looking great. They're not exactly giving much back!
It's neither the councils or tax payers who maintain the canals. It's the Canals and Rivers Trust (CRT)... A charity along the lines of the National Trust. :) (I'm not a boater btw).
