Found your channel by accident but so glad I did. No click bait, thumbnail title. No forced jeopardy for views. Just wholesome content that is addictive in its slow beautiful way. LO❤E it. Thanks.
I hope as you get more of these videos under your belt, you'll keep the uncluttered simplicity of your channel. This is a compliment, not a jibe. Thank you, Betty
@@bettyonaboat Halfway through the video I paused and started reading the comments, 99.9% are more or less the same and mentioning the reason why I wrote my first comment. We all love you for being genuine. What are the dimensions of your boat? edit at 12.46 Now I know the length is 31 feet 😊 edit 2 Yeah I will definitely watch next video too😊
Agreed. In a world of over energetic videos on youtube it's nice to come back down to earth with a calm video. A bit like rushing all week in a city then relaxing watching cricket on a weekend!
I agree with all the comments below on how natural you are and how calming the videos are. Not as busy as some of the canal videos about, just with an alluring simplicity.
I echo what others say - you do not need for any bells and whistles the simplicity of your filming is why I watch, it is genuine and a calming - DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!
New to your videos … really good … you have a Swan friend for life … maybe not as good as the Swan … but I’ll be watching you in the future … stay safe … 🔆🔆🔆
Hi Betty, you have a really good channel here. I love the Canals and at one time lived near the Kennet and Avon in Berkshire, before escaping the UK to South East Brasil. Please shout out if you intend to navigate those? Stay safe.
Hi betty, It's such a pleasant change to see somebody like yourself here on TH-cam. A natural uncomplicated take on how life could be if we all possessed the same courage you have. Thanks for the wonderful content and allowing us all to live our little dream of life on the water, through yourself.
Thanks for another relaxing video. I bet the swan was sad to see you leave too ! 🙂 Your subscribers are increasing nicely, so you’re clearly doing things well. 👍🏻
I walked from Castle Vale Birmingham to Tamworth along the canal when i was a kid once, took 12 hours there and back, had nothing better to do in the late 70's and it was alot safer back then
Oh love, don't worry about being caught talking to the camera. You are now the famous Betty on a Boat 💜. I'm loving my Saturday mornings in bed with coffee and chilling with this lovely gentle woman. Pity Swanny didn't hang in there.
A cracking little video Betty. You've just passed through my home territory, just like Mr Swan. I see him daily on my dog walks between Mercia Marina and the Dove aqueduct. He has a Mrs with 4 cygnets at the moment and patrols the whole stretch, fending off all other swans and geese. Sorry I didn't see you along the way but if you ever come back I'll say Hello. Happy cruising! ❤
@@bettyonaboat yes they do, I have done some research on this since the video the swan first followed you, they know you by sight & sound so I can honestly say this swan has formed a bond with you 🥰
Hi Betty, your looking very glamorous lovely. I grew up in Burton on Trent. It was always been called the beer town in its day. I love mooring anywhere near shobnall fields. I actually just work 5 mins frthere at the hospital. You have got shobnall marina not far down on the left which uou probably know. Good staff and good prices. Enjoy your stay lovely 😊
Keep doing what you do Betty, you’re very brave and have confidence in bucket loads. Your videos are appreciated and an escape for most of us. All the best to you 👌
Burton is world renowned for the quality of it's beer. It's all down to the water used. In times gone by rival breweries up and down the country would go to Burton to take water samples to see if they could reproduce it, naturally they couldn't. I'm a Londoner now living these past 40 years in Dorset and I picked up that information somewhere along the way! I'm enjoying your videos and looking forward to seeing how your boat is inside. Great respect to you, I like an independent woman.
Living tha dream Betty. Decided I'm going to go to UK and try it. Going to rent a boat in Cambridge in a few weeks .All booked. Love your videos, thanks for the inspiration & entertainment. And as always, Greeting from the Bavarian Alps!!!
Ah that’s great, I hope you have a lovely time! I’ve visited Cambridge a few times (in my car) and it’s really beautiful. I did a really nice walk along the river from Grantchester to central Cambridge.
Aw… the most relaxing, zen twenty minutes of the week. I love your natural style and observations. It’s a different style that really comes across well. Love it. Thanks for the vibes Betty. David x
Thanks for sharing these moments with us Betty… Just love your approach, just being you… a nice person. Really enjoying watching the videos and getting a feel of what it is like on a narrowboat.
Only just come across your channel. I live in a narrowboat and also a campervan. I love the lifestyle! Been living off grid for 10 years now. Sold my haulage company and just started travelling. I also like to cycle the canals and walk them. I've done quite a few. It's good to travel on them by canal. Then cover the full length by bike and on foot. Great channel!!
Another great video Betty.... definitely added to my favourite list alongside Ben & Emily, cruising the cut and May..... getting caught talking to the phone bit made me laugh 😂....
What a lovely video to watch and what a star you are by doing what you’re doing living on a boat. I wonder if one day you eventually go back up the canal the swan will still recognise you and follow you again. Can’t wait to see your next instalment on your adventures. Keep up the good work and stay safe 👏👏👏👍
I love your videos as they make me smile 😎 I used to have a beautiful studio space over looking the canal at Kings Bromely Staffs and it was such a creative place to work from. I always thought about buying a barge to live there but new site management killed that 😎☘
I never knew about the river Dove dividing Staffordshire and Derbyshire. Branston pickle did originally come from Branston. More important than brewing beer Burton upon trent is the home if marmite. Another great video.
Aww I was sad to see the swan swim off, but I suppose they needed to be somewhere. It's a small world when you meet another boat with such a similar name! I wish I'd bought one years ago.
Hi, loved this lated video, thank you 😀 Nice to see you in Burton-on-Trent, which is my neck of the woods. Burton really was the brewing capital of England years ago, with not only Marstons but also Bass Breweries and Ind Coope/Allied Breweries based there. Now it's mainly Marstons and Coors. Burton is also famous for making Marmite, and as all the locals would tell you, the smell from the factory at certain times of the day was pretty awful!!
Really enjoyed this video Betty. Just appreciate a “real” person, solo or not navigating our old canal system. Informing us about our industrial heritage. Magical❤️👌
Hi Betty. What a great Vlog you put out to us today. We enjoyed it all. Was hoping you might have updated us on the floor work in your boat, you started last week. You are a lovely trendy dresser, and very attractive. Excellent Excellent, see you next week ❤xxx
I agree with other TH-camrs comments on here. Betty, you are refreshingly honest, polite and your content is, like yourself, if I may say, charming. I'm really pleased to see your channel grow. X
Bonjour Betty. Voyager sur ces canaux avec vous est vraiment très agréable. Les paysages sont reposants et respirent la vie simple et facile que l'on pouvait avoir il n'y a pas si longtemps de cela. Merci de nous raconter l'histoire des lieux que vous traversez. C'est sur ces belles images que je vais vous souhaiter un agréable week-end. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés. Olivier.
Another beautiful video Betty. I remember going across the pontcysyllte aqueduct when i was a child. This video brought back many memories of when i boated as a family. Thank you! P.S I wish the swan could've came with you😓
Betty. You are giving a much more confident and natural delivery to camera than you did in your first videos. Even when you get caught! I quite enjoy the factoids too.
Wow, Betty, your channel is growing and I'm not surprised with your happy and cheerful disposition! You are certainly producing some enchanting video's, very easy to watch and follow and your confidence is blooming - can't wait for your next episode 🥰🥰🌹🌹
We know you are smart & respect your content. No need to divulge any personal information. Ever. Seriously, would love to know more about you. Just keep us all guessing Betty🤣🤗😂❤️
Lovely video, as always Betty. I am sitting under a pub umbrella, keeping out of the rain, on the banks of the Labe river in the Czech Republic watching your adventures. So nice of you to share this with us all.
Oh wow, I have very happy memories of visiting the Czech Republic as a child. We stayed near Brno Reservoir and I remember walking around it. I think I've always liked being near water.
Thank you Betty for yet another relaxing, informative video. Wonderful! So relaxing, after a stressful week this was much needed tonic! I hope to hire a boat one time and love the life for a week or two so all your hints and tips are teaching me the important basics. I could listen to your accent for hours! Thank you once again and safe travels ❤
Looking lovely and summery Betty, love the hat! I love walks and hikes but a 4 mile walk in those shoes would see me off, hope it was just for the camera! 😉 Perfect video again, just so nice to watch and learn from. Will you ever go back and see your swan friend again?
@@bettyonaboat Aw, what a dilemma, maybe best just to have the memories in case he breaks your heart. I'm impressed with the comfy summer shoes, I could do with the man version on a hot day. Not that we look like getting a heat wave this year. :/
Really enjoyed the vlog Betty ,and seeing you still had your minder looking out for you and even gave you a wave goodbye ,love watching your adventures stay safe Nick 🏴 x
Looks like a cracking day for a cruise, the way you said aqueduct near the start made me do a double take, I could have sworn you said aqua duck and was imagining you running over a mallard lol
Hi Betty, I hired a day boat from Market harborough canal basin, there was only enough time to get to Foxton locks for the return,I loved every minute of it, I can see the attraction!.Have you thought about a little fold up bike for your return trip to your car, you are probably happy with your walk 🙂
Betty, first off, congratulations on 15K subs!! Well deserved! Thanks for another great video, showing us boat life, scenery, and Mr. Swan. Always loved, ever since you started. So simple, calm, and enjoyable.
Your subscriber count is going up at a rate of knots Betty 🙂 good to see . As far as people seeing you talk , whether they realise you have a camera or not doesn't matter because lots of people use Bluetooth hands free ear pieces these days , for example if I see someone alone in their car talking , I'd just assume they are on a hands free phone call . Nice little journey with your swan escort and all the scenery , going back to fetch your car must keep you fit as well , I imagine it's not always possible to get the car somewhere close to your boat when you fetch it ?
Such a wholesome and genuine person. It's no wonder why so many people enjoy what you do.
Thank you, that's really kind of you to say!
That's exactly the reason why I watch her.
I too agree, love these videos, look forward to them.
Really well said and I too agree
Found your channel by accident but so glad I did. No click bait, thumbnail title. No forced jeopardy for views. Just wholesome content that is addictive in its slow beautiful way. LO❤E it. Thanks.
Hi Betty,
You’re A breath of fresh air in a world of “look at me” types,
Thank you for being you.
Thank you, that's really kind!
Best comment so far!
And her music is very soothing
And the pointing and shocked faces, so much pointing and shock in those video stills.....clickbait central. I'm tired of it
I hope as you get more of these videos under your belt, you'll keep the uncluttered simplicity of your channel. This is a compliment, not a jibe. Thank you, Betty
Yes I think the channel will stay pretty much the same!
@@bettyonaboat Halfway through the video I paused and started reading the comments, 99.9% are more or less the same and mentioning the reason why I wrote my first comment. We all love you for being genuine. What are the dimensions of your boat?
edit at 12.46 Now I know the length is 31 feet 😊
edit 2 Yeah I will definitely watch next video too😊
Agreed. In a world of over energetic videos on youtube it's nice to come back down to earth with a calm video. A bit like rushing all week in a city then relaxing watching cricket on a weekend!
Mine is actually 30ft long, the other woman’s boat was 31ft so that’s why I was saying they’re a similar size. I’m glad you like the videos! 😀
I agree with all the comments below on how natural you are and how calming the videos are. Not as busy as some of the canal videos about, just with an alluring simplicity.
Thank you, I wasn’t sure how these videos would turn out but I’m glad you like the simplicity of them!
Great to see your confidence of speaking to the camera grow. This is such a natural channel nothing seems forced or staged. Love what you're doing
Yes I'm feeling more confident as I film more of the videos! 🙂
@@bettyonaboat Very interesting way of life thanks for sharing.
You bring back some wonderful memories of past boating holidays thank you
Hi Betty, I cannot get over how glamorous you always look on your boat… most boaters I see are quite scruffy even some of the ladies! very nice… 😊
This made me laugh because a friend of mine refers to me as "the most glamorous boater". I went paddle boarding in a dress on her hen do! 😂
@@bettyonaboat well I think you look lovely… and well done for bringing a drop of glamour to canal life 👏🏻👏🏻
A gentle trip but enjoyable!
Yes I did enjoy this trip!
Hello Betty from Mechanicsville, VA. USA I so enjoy the canals and narrow boat people. At 79-years-of age I rejoice in the adventures of others.
I'm glad you enjoy watching them, it's nice to know they bring some pleasure.
I'm right with you, William! I'm traveling vicariously with Betty and others and enjoying the community of like-minded viewers.
You are lovely , genuine and kind, don't ever change , so hard to find people like you
Thank you, that's really nice of you to say! ☺
You dont look very far.
Hi Betty . We don't have the water ways where I come from . I think its pretty amazing what your doing
That’s a shame but thank you!
I echo what others say - you do not need for any bells and whistles the simplicity of your filming is why I watch, it is genuine and a calming - DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!
Thank you, I don’t plan to change anything! 🙂
Hi Betty just like to say your videos are a breath off fresh air keep up the good work and take care 🙂 👍
Thank you again, Betty, for your uncomplicated, un-egoed sharing of your experiences. You are a gem on this channel.
Thank you! 🙂
New to your videos … really good … you have a Swan friend for life … maybe not as good as the Swan … but I’ll be watching you in the future … stay safe … 🔆🔆🔆
Thank you and welcome aboard!
You're really natural and grounded and just being yourself makes your vlogs very watchable.
After watching David, it is good to see a young ladies view of the canals.
A friend told me my videos are similar to David’s, which is a huge compliment!
Thank you once again, Betty - twenty minutes of unhurried serenity was exactly what I needed ❤
I hope it was relaxing for you! 🙂
Betty the Boater. An Angel on Earth.
How can a YT video be so peaceful and relaxing? Love it.
Thank you, it's nice to know you found it relaxing! 🙂
It's Friday, the sun is out, and Betty is on a Boat, made my day 🙂
Thank you, that's nice to know! 🌞
Hi Betty, you have a really good channel here. I love the Canals and at one time lived near the Kennet and Avon in Berkshire, before escaping the UK to South East Brasil. Please shout out if you intend to navigate those? Stay safe.
🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍hope to see a video of the inside of your boat
I’ll do a tour eventually!
Your videos are just the best, lovely narrative, scenery and no made up drama. Happy boating.
A lovely, peaceful canal boat ride with a charming lady guide. Thank you!❤
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Que lugar lindo seu barco é maravilhoso sou do nordeste do Brasil estado de Sergipe um grande abraço para você.

There’s an air of confidence and humour about you in this one 🙂

You are now the famous Betty on a Boat 💜.
I'm loving my Saturday mornings in bed with coffee and chilling with this lovely gentle woman.
Pity Swanny didn't hang in there.
Thank you Ashley, I'm enjoying my Saturday morning with a coffee while reading your comment!
@@bettyonaboat on opposite sides of the planet!
@bettyonaboat I have a little boat too in my back yard, at the ocean's edge. I live next to the water instead of on it. It's magical.
That does sound magical! I’d love to live next to the sea!
A cracking little video Betty. You've just passed through my home territory, just like Mr Swan. I see him daily on my dog walks between Mercia Marina and the Dove aqueduct.
He has a Mrs with 4 cygnets at the moment and patrols the whole stretch, fending off all other swans and geese.
Sorry I didn't see you along the way but if you ever come back I'll say Hello.
Happy cruising! ❤
I love sailing, greetings from the Netherlands
Greetings from England!
Thanks
Thank you, that's really kind of you! 🙂
That swan has genuinely formed a friendship with you 🥰
I wonder if they do form bonds with humans like other animals do?
@@bettyonaboat yes they do, I have done some research on this since the video the swan first followed you, they know you by sight & sound so I can honestly say this swan has formed a bond with you 🥰
Aww that’s lovely to know!
Hi betty, getting more confident which is great.. i struggle on camera so tend to voiceover so kudos to you!1
Thank you! 😀
Don’t worry about other people when you are talking to the camera. Your audience is greater than the one person looking at you. 😊
Hi Betty, your looking very glamorous lovely. I grew up in Burton on Trent. It was always been called the beer town in its day. I love mooring anywhere near shobnall fields. I actually just work 5 mins frthere at the hospital. You have got shobnall marina not far down on the left which uou probably know. Good staff and good prices. Enjoy your stay lovely

What a nice place to grow up!
Nice to see a video from someone genuine and not trying to be an influencer .......whatever that is !
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂
Keep doing what you do Betty, you’re very brave and have confidence in bucket loads.
Your videos are appreciated and an escape for
most of us.
All the best to you 👌
Great video 👍What a coincidence with your boat being called "Little One" and you meeting the woman on the boat called "Little 'un"!
I know! I didn’t even notice until she pointed it out!
Such a lovely warm person, and a joy to watch you on your canal travels ❤️

I bet the swan follows all the pretty girls ;) It's also amazing that the aqueducts don't leak. You're looking very pretty today.
I did see an aqueduct that leaked when I was in Warwick!
Aw… the most relaxing, zen twenty minutes of the week. I love your natural style and observations. It’s a different style that really comes across well. Love it. Thanks for the vibes Betty. David x

Thank you, that’s good company to be in! 😀
Don't stop making videos i think you are lovely and your videos are interesting.

I never knew about the river Dove dividing Staffordshire and Derbyshire. Branston pickle did originally come from Branston. More important than brewing beer Burton upon trent is the home if marmite. Another great video.
Thanks for watching again, and I’m glad you appreciated the river fact!
So enchanted by you and your lifestyle. The swan I named Angel !
Keep up the lovely videos Betty there really relaxing to watch and hold your head up high doing it solo and dont like people looking at you
Thank you! 😀

He has swanned off now though!
@@bettyonaboat😂😂🤭
@@bettyonaboat he must have 'swan'-dered off to the 'ballet'...
Don't worry Betty I'm here all day 🥳
I was hoping he would be back at the end. Maybe he's waiting by the car.

Perched patiently on the bonnet 🤣

Yes it was strange to meet another one with such a similar name! The woman seemed lovely too.
Thank you Betty .Great show I'm parked up next to a lake in NZ. Full moon tonight.

Thankyou again Betty lovely tour and really enjoyed watching keep them coming,
Thank you, I’ll try!
Much more enjoyable to watch than Robbie Cumming on every level. Well done 😊
very relaxing....looking forward to the next video
Had a bad day, thought one of your videos would be the perfect antidote .... Yep I was right .
Glad to hear it!

P.S I wish the swan could've came with you😓
Yes I’ve been there in a hire boat! It would be nice to go back on my own boat one day! I’m glad this brought back nice memories. 😊

😂 I will explain more eventually but I’m having too much fun talking to wildlife at the moment!
Hey Betty the gorgeous weather is with us again.
I'm about 4 miles from the canal tho
That’s not too far, treat yourself to a walk down there in the sun!

I'm new to your channel today. I have caught up with all your videos. Great scenery interesting to see a single boater fully independent
Thanks for watching all my videos!
The idea of parallel parking a narrowboat fills me with anxiety. Thanks for the video!
I have to admit I don't like doing it in tight spaces as I worry about hitting the other boats!
Great video again betty, You be you its your strength.... your one of the few channels i look forward to an update, stay safe and thankyou
Thank you, it’s nice to know you look forward to the updates!
I so look forward to your videos Betty. Thank you for sharing your journeys with 15,000 subscribers!!
Thank you! Yes, the number of subscribers is a bit crazy!
Thank you Betty for yet another relaxing, informative video. Wonderful! So relaxing, after a stressful week this was much needed tonic! I hope to hire a boat one time and love the life for a week or two so all your hints and tips are teaching me the important basics.

Thank you for watching! 🙂
These videos chill me right out. The hat and glasses so stylish! Shame the swan stayed behind. Looking forward to the next installment 😊

Hi Betty, I hired a day boat from Market harborough canal basin, there was only enough time to get to Foxton locks for the return,I loved every minute of it, I can see the attraction!.Have you thought about a little fold up bike for your return trip to your car, you are probably happy with your walk 🙂
Yes I've thought about getting a fold-up bike. I think I will get one eventually, although I really enjoy the walking!
I find it funny that road vehicles go on the left side, while boats seem to go on the right 😊 … you have a lovely channel, best regards, from chile.
Yes I’m not sure what the reason is! I think it’s a worldwide thing with boats, e.g. that’s how they pass in the sea too.
Simplicity is your gift. Living life with a smile grrreat stuff pal
Thank you! 🙂
The nice part of you tube, such a joy to watch.
Thank you!
Betty, first off, congratulations on 15K subs!! Well deserved!
Thanks for another great video, showing us boat life, scenery, and Mr. Swan.
Always loved, ever since you started. So simple, calm, and enjoyable.
Thank you! The number of subscribers is very unexpected! Thank you for watching from the start. 🙂
What a beautiful life on the canals you are adorable to watch you looked so broken hearted 😂❤
I was sad when the swan stayed behind! 🦢
Cool, Betty's back. 😃
I am!
Your subscriber count is going up at a rate of knots Betty 🙂 good to see . As far as people seeing you talk , whether they realise you have a camera or not doesn't matter because lots of people use Bluetooth hands free ear pieces these days , for example if I see someone alone in their car talking , I'd just assume they are on a hands free phone call .
Nice little journey with your swan escort and all the scenery , going back to fetch your car must keep you fit as well , I imagine it's not always possible to get the car somewhere close to your boat when you fetch it ?
It’s not always possible but I try to get it as close as I can!
