I can’t imagine what must bring you more joy - the adventure of cruising continuously across the country, the gratification of creating such a welcoming home together or the pleasure your journey has brought to so many people around the planet. Thank you and Godspeed.
That was nice, thank you both. Paul's top tip {that you two won't need} is to have a good underblanket, two duvets and two hot water bottles. It is a good way of ensuring a cosy boaty night. Paul's other boaty tip is to find a cat that can close doors as well as opening them. I do not posses such a cat, hance two hot water bottles and two duvets.
I actually love the fact you ladies posted something not current to topic of state of world happings..we here on several look-outs and lock-downs. Stay safe.. sail well..
Great video. Awesome insight into the challenges you face. When Kath was talking about leaving slack in the lines, it triggered thoughts of my late father. He was US Navy and a WWII vet. At an early age, he started to teach me boat and deck seamanship, including how to tie different types of knots and how to coil rope properly. I still have his 1943 issue Bluejackets Manual. Thanks again ladies for all you do. Sending some virtual hugs!
Great video Ladies. I admire you and enjoy your adventures. I have been looking for a boat for long term cruising but due to the little bug which seems to have stopped the world I have had to delay my search. However in Feb this year my wife and I hired a boat for a week to see if we would like winter cruising. We did !!! Good luck, stay safe and keep the videos coming. Michael
I do love seeing your videos. On clothing it reminds me of discussing cold weather motorcycle gear a few years ago. From 2016 through a month ago I only had a motorcycle and in North Carolina that meant my commute to work was sometimes quite cold. 18F/-8C was my coldest.
3:30 am in North Carolina and I always manage to be up and watch you ladies. Always enjoy it, thank you for entertaining us during this staying at home to stay well. I hope you both are safe and well, Peace.
working for CRT as a vol. at knowle locks.came to say hello last thursday week but alas all locked up !!.Hopeing your both keeping safe in these troubled times .And as for the mud blame the mountain bikers that rush past.
Good to see you back and what well thought out tips,as usual a total delight to see your smiling faces.Can you tell me more about the heated insoles? Stay safe stay warm .Cheers
Greetings from Day 16 of self-isolation here in Collingwood, Ontario. As I haven't spoken to a living soul (apart from my son) it was nice to get out of the house so to speak. Great vlog as usual ladies. Stay well and look after each other as these are dark times indeed. John, Ontario, Canada
Good tips and a nice video even if I don't have a narrowboat. I hope this coronavirus isn't causing you ladies too much trouble. Take care of the cats and stay safe.
regarding additives to your diesel...there are two types ...one type reduces water (condinsation) getting into the diesel. The other kind is a biocide that reduces the bacterial growth in the diesel. You should check with your engine manufactuer regarding both...most manufactures advise not to use them as it causes your hoses to degrade causing all kinds of problems. You mentioned keeping your diesel toped off...that is the best way to go to prevent you having the above problems...Best...Capt. Greg
hope you two are safe in this time, i know myself i only leave the house if i really need too so please stay safe and i look forward to watching more video's from you
Well done for braving the canals in the winter. Stoppages are a big problem, or it was on the Leeds -Liverpool. Due to work commitments, we were permanently moored. Condensation was our biggest problem, but a proper fire cures that. Good tips with the water! We only froze up once fortunately, but breaking the ice around the Broads Cruiser was a pain. Canals are no places for wooden boats! Good Luck with your travels!
Morning ladies enjoyed your vlog especially at this time we are both disabled and have underlying health problems so cant go out so we are watching more vlogs on utube you take care and give the cats a cuddle
Some more great info here girls.. I am in Australia (were we have no canals suitable for narrowboats) and dreaming of having a crack at canal living. I think I might have to travel over for a narrow-boating holiday next year. Keep up the great work, and stay safe and healthy during these troubling times..
I am Glad to see you Girls are Keeping Warm. What a brilliant show of information that's vital for boating. I hope it helps the novice. Thanks Girls. Again.
Hello ladies, always a pleasure seeing your cheery faces. Apparently you two are doing well amidst the pandemic and such, but have you noticed much of an impact on narrow boaters?
Great to see how diligent you are about recycling which is a really important issue for us. I hope CRT can improve these facilities as I know it is an issue to find water and recycling points. Very informative video so thanks for that, My daughter who is a Nurse (working today) tells us it is ramping up getting very busy so social distancing is vital right now so keep happy and keep safe.
It was good to hear from you. Glad to see that you are both well. I am sure the cats are well also. Keep yourselves safe from this crazy world that we are living in at the moment.
A little bit scary. The grocery stores have empty shelves. I continue to pray for my daughter who is a nurse and is continuing to work. I hope this virus does not last as long as they have been predicting.
Sunburn and windburn happens in winter (ask any Canadian) so some UV protection and moisturizer is important. The Rule O'Thumb with winter gear is that you can always take something off, or loosen it, but it's difficult to add more layers when you don't have the gear.
Wish this cold weather kit was about in the sixties when I had a paper round, my best bit of kit was a WW II flying jacket. Please keep posting and stay safe.
Remember something from my mushing days. There’s a poly something or other face mask. Covers nose, cheek and chin. Very thin and flexible with Velcro around back of neck. Very comfy. It would keep my face toasty warm at -30 and some wind. Also kept my beard free of frost. Much better than a scarf as the scarf gets ice bound from breath freezing.
Great vlog glad you are doing well with this years wild winter.....I expect Alice and Munchy are very selective about going out...mine particularly doesn't like wind....skids to a halt and dashes back inside then wails at me as if it is my fault
Nice vlog and very informative vlog.Well that was a shock nearly 4 years ago since you got your first boat time has flown by take care everyone on boats 😀😀
Definitely good points across the board! And as always, love just getting to share in both of your sharing your adventures and observations of canal life! Thank you for another fun video!
Congratulations. The standard of your videos has become much more professional in recent times. They were always enjoyable but they seem to have moved up several notches in the professional editing stakes, if that makes sense. I know CTC has a professional background in this area but he'd better be careful because you're closing in on him fast! Leigh (Australia)
Really useful video. I'm working my way backwards through your vlogs. Hope all going well for you during lockdown. Looking forward to your future videos. Have you considered talking more about other narrowboat layouts and types, maybe take a look at some for sale, you touched on this when you did your tour vlog. Cruising days still lovely.
Hi Girls, hope your both well and all is going good for you both! thank`s for some more great tips they are always worth hearing, keep up the great work and stay safe x x
Very excellent boaters information, and safety.... Living now in a marina, in Newport Harbor, Ca.U.S.A.. Prefer not using ground tackle, when stumbling home, and not managing a row boat to a mooring, climbing aboard in the night light, romantic, except when drunk.
I watched this vlog the other day, thought I had commented....but apparently not..... Great vlog, you always come up with interesting information. Thank you, cheers.
Really glad you found some waterproof insulated gloves, for winter tasks. Next question: do you get groceries delivered like I have heard other narrowboaters do? And on the fun side, what are the "hand signals" you use to your partner and other boaters when out cruising?
We moored up in a marina just for the Christmas season. Couldn't wait to leave just cos of the claustrophobic feeling of being so closely moored to other boats (along side not end to end) .
Thanks for the vlogs love watching them. practical question given the water do you ever get problems with rats when you are moored up - hopefully the cats might make short shrift of them but not sure if this is ever an issue and how you deal with them if it can be.
@@TheNarrowboatExperience yeah i've tried all sorts of glove/mitt combos. But i'm ordering some of these hopefully for our easter trip out. Keep the videos coming purely for selfish reason of keeping our spirits up whilst im working from home and not out chugging about.
Another clever and informative vid again ladies. So tell us, which do you prefer? Continuous Cruising? Marina? Or winter mooring? Oh and your drinking water, is that just filled up via the hose at the water point? Forgive my ignorance, but I just wondered if it was clean or do you use or have a drinking water purifier?
Lazy Days still isn't a suitable name for the #2OHearts crew. The loving-kindness you two show shines through in every video. In these trying times I suggest: "HOPE". The narrowboat "Hope" has a nice ring to it.
Ladies, very good vlog. the water to put into a tank, do you drink that water as well as use it for washing cooking, brushing teeth, and showering. Stay well Ralph
A useful video which does give you some good tips, the wormans thermal gloves and heated insoles for instance. But is continuous cruising realy TOO HARD? We are left to make up our own minds.
Hi to you both and the cats. Another great informative video on life living on a narrowboat. How are you coping with getting hold of essential items for living on a NB and having enough food supplies with the current coronavirus situation as supermarkets run low on stock ?

What a blessed relief to watch something that doesn't mention coronavirus!
Well done, keep them coming. Life must go on as normal...
You're probably best to keep on the move right now, rather than risk cross infection at a marina. Great video. Keep safe and well.
There is, absolutely nothing about your video's I don't love. You Ladies are truly incredible please keep the journey going...
3:30 am in North Carolina and I always manage to be up and watch you ladies. Always enjoy it, thank you for entertaining us during this staying at home to stay well. I hope you both are safe and well, Peace.

Hi, sorry we missed you.
Alan Rhodes to add to your comment re bikers I totally agree and they pay nothing for up keep unlike as boaters that are low impact on the tow path.
Glad to see your out and about still, stay safe during this current madness.
It’s lovely in the canal though very cold

That introduction sounds like great inspiration for an Art by Annamarie inspired t-shirt.

One of the things that speaks out to me with narrow boating is cruising in the snow :>
Yes, the infamous mud ring on the trousers! Sometimes difficult to explain when you don't have a narrowboat.
Excellent tips, as always, Ladies! Always welcome! Take care, everyone!....😀...😀...!
Always a pleasure, cheers Ladies!
This brought me joy this morning. Thank you so very much
Aww! Still no mention of old pig feed sacks! :-O
Lovely video though, and those sunny smiles of yours make the winter recede! :-)
Take care ladies. Reminds me of why I moved to Australia
Great to see you again. Hugs😎👍❤️🇨🇦

Excellent information, really well done...thank you.

That was great! So much helpful advice from two wonderful women x
Great tips girls lots of thing you probably wouldn't have thought off stay safe in this worrying time 😉

Keep safe ladies ☺
Great video! Lots of information!
Morning Girls.Great vlog lots of useful information. Take care.🍷🍷🐱🐱
gloves are a genius move!
We wanted to test them before recommending. Same with the insoles. Very good.

Spring now girls, the weather is lovely, just stay safe from the horrid virus.
I was wondering how often Alice and Munchy go foraging about outside in winter. Do they go out at all or are they mud bugs?
great advice as always

Oh and your drinking water, is that just filled up via the hose at the water point? Forgive my ignorance, but I just wondered if it was clean or do you use or have a drinking water purifier?
very good information ladys, keep safe
How you girls doing. Just heard you all in 3 weeks lock down. How is this going to affect you? Are you going to be able to still move on the cut?
Lazy Days still isn't a suitable name for the #2OHearts crew. The loving-kindness you two show shines through in every video. In these trying times I suggest: "HOPE". The narrowboat "Hope" has a nice ring to it.
Good info girls. I have a question, where has Johnno gone? Have not seen a vlog form him in quite a while.
Working for victron
I was thinking the same. Glad he’s ok will he be back on the canals
Just a tickover from 25,000! Yeah! Good tips👍✌️😊🙏🏼
Ladies, very good vlog. the water to put into a tank, do you drink that water as well as use it for washing cooking, brushing teeth, and showering. Stay well Ralph
Was this video a dig at Mooring the Cut? :) keep warm and sunny!
Well if the description fits...

awesome video! Thanks !
A useful video which does give you some good tips, the wormans thermal gloves and heated insoles for instance. But is continuous cruising realy TOO HARD? We are left to make up our own minds.
Great vid! Could I ask a random question, what knots do you use with the ropes
when you moor up?
Hi to you both and the cats. Another great informative video on life living on a narrowboat. How are you coping with getting hold of essential items for living on a NB and having enough food supplies with the current coronavirus situation as supermarkets run low on stock ?
We have enough food and stock thanks x
