From the West Coast of Canada I have to say 'what a beautiful home'. At the age of 75, like many of your viewers, I know I will never be able to own a narrow boat so I must do so vicariously through you. Thank you for sharing.
So envious if your splendid boat. We recently sold ours. It was built in 1983 abd ' the old girl' needed so, so much work doing at it that, in the end, it was crushing our spirits. The joy departed and it felt like a millstone. Anyway the very young couple that bought it at a snip have done wonders with it to make it their home. We know we made the right decision, but when I watch videos like yours I remember the joys of being afloat. Oh well.......we're blessed with beautiful memories of wonderful experiences. Wishing you both well xx
It is always difficult making those decisions, but if the joy is not there for what ever reason, it is time to move on to a new phase of your life. Enjoy those memories
Guys guys guys, what can I say, dogs at home under the table, the glow light from the fire, the hole ambience, as I can see has brought out the best smiles I’ve ever seen on you two wonderful faces. You have done really well with the design, in and out. Guys how really wonderful things are for you. The end of an era, and the beginning of a new one. I’m ready for it. Let’s go.
I remember as a child reading about the narrow boats in England and always thought it would be wonderful to live on one. I am now 67 and know it will never happen. I live in Australia and doubt I will ever get to England with covid. So I will enjoy myself through your travels. Dennyse, Australia
Good morning Fran and Rich I must say it was sooo nice to take a tour round Laura Maisie!! With you both She is a lovely boat And certainly is worthy of the waiting for her to be built You have such a cozy and easy living feel to the boat When you have put your quirky bits in the boat aswell you will be sooo at home with memories too of your Mums!! A lovely new life for you both xx
Wow. Just the most perfect home for you and the dogs, with all that light and so much space. Life is going to be such a pleasure on Laura Maisie. May you enjoy many happy years of living and cruising with her! Thank you so much for bringing us on board for our first peek.
You’ve thought of everything. I hope you have many eventful cruises on your beautiful Laura Maisey. It looks like the dogs are settling in nicely. Best wished to you. ⚓️🇺🇸
Your home is just so beautiful....love your accent....I live in Tennessee USA.....many say they love our southern accent....love the Brit’s thanks for sharing your lovely home...
Now that is something I could live on. I love being on or near the water. Unfortunately the US doesn't have canal systems like the UK. I think a canal boat would be safer than an RV. So happy I found your vlog. It's going to be fun virtually traveling with you. Carol from New Jersey.
Smashing boat! And it's good to have the virtues of a big sink explained. Fran, if you really want to be confident with the engine, you ought to try a short course rather than rely on books. To power your washing machine, you could have extra solar, and possibly another battery or two. This extra up-front expense eventually saves you money in fuel, and also of course helps the planet. (I love helping the planet.)
I love your home. It is beautiful. So much room. I love every part of it. Have fun and enjoy the water. I would!🚤⚓🚎🇬🇧🇺🇸✊💖💖💞 I am from America. The state of Maryland.
I have to say I just love your boat! It is exactly what I would have picked. It is so airy and homey. I like crafts and books too. I hope you two are very happy in your new boat!
I watch a lot of tiny home videos so, of course, I was interested in this. What a beautiful boat. May you both have many, many years of merry adventures with it. Thanks for sharing.
I feel they have more space than a tiny home as well, maybe not in square feet but at least in perception. I would definitely prefer this to a tiny home.
She’s gorgeous 🤩, your Mums are no doubt pleased to have such a beauty named after them. I love the lightness of her and the fabrics, big difference👍🏻🙋🏼
@@FloatingOurBoat I knew your Mums have passed away but I believe their spirits are around you and can see. That’s why I said they would be proud. I feel my parents around me often🥰🙋🏼
Such a beautiful new home. Thank you so much for inviting us in for a tour, she is absolutely perfect. Wishing you many, many years of happy life aboard.
Hi “Howard and Hilda”, I must say this video was the most interesting and enjoyable video I have seen for a very long time, with your content and commentary. Very many thanks.
A truly beautiful and well thought out layout. Very modern with pleasing colors. I love the sink, shower and multifuel stove, and the bedroom is so cozy. Congratulations on your new boat, may you have so many wonderful memories created in your new home.
She is beautifully designed and built a real credit to you and the boatyard many ,many happy years of cruising and don't forget to take us along with you at times. THANK YOU
Thanks for showing us your new boat. You've made good choices what comes up to using the space you have 👌. Planning an interior of a boat is always a compromise. Well done!
Gosh you guys are terrific, just started following you today after seeing you with the Foxes, already seen quite a few of your vlogs and absolutely love them. Enjoy all this new boat has to offer you both.
Such a lovely boat! And more stunning sign-writing by Rob Wagg, I see! :) We're getting him to do ours too. Hoping to be on the water at the end of this month. Dipping our toes into the vlogging world with short videos of our build. :)
What a beautiful job Elton Moss have made of your lovely new boat, you are really going to enjoy your travels aboard her. wish you fair winds and safe landings.
I’ve been looking forward to this video for so long!! She is beautiful 💕 and I wish you both many happy years of cruising on her 🦆 Thank you for showing us around 😀
Loved the boat tour! Rich I agree the dinette is absolutely amazing! If I was to have a Narrowboat having a dinette would be a must! Was the wait for this boat worth the wait? The dogs are right at home on the new boat! The design choices are really nice! You two are so deserving of this great boat! Rich and Fran I so love your Vlogs because the two of you are so great! I've been watching since the beginning and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed!
I love your new boat! The reverse layout is absolutely my preference... great to have a washing machine. Your shower is wonderful! And, I would want all that bookshelf space too! Simply charming! Many happy returns

LOVELY... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING =)
You are so welcome!
Lovely 🌹
Thank you! 😊
That’s a beautiful boat! It’s nice to have windows instead of portholes to let in the light.
It is so lovely and light on here, makes such a difference in the winter
Gosh! I love your boat!!! I love both of you!!! What an amazing life ❤
Thank you so much
I could definitely live in this amazing boat home. I've been thinking Tiny lately but this has really piqued my interest 🛥💗💜
Lots of bookshelves and no TV - my kind of boat 👍🏻👍🏻😃

Thanks kevin. We're just now looking forward to getting back to normal life. Cruising and walking. X
Great news on the mooring, ive noticed, often nice things happen to nice people. 😊 👍
What a beauty and Laura Maisie doesn't look too shabby either. Lucky old Rich. ❤️⛴
I'm a very lucky old bloke Kevin 😉
The engine looks brand new. Heck, the whole boat looks brand new. Is It? - It's absolutely beautiful!
It certainly is.
Your boat is beautiful. My hubby, who is a Joiner, was very impressed by the excellent timber work. Enjoy.
Thank you, it was one of the thins that drew us to Elton Moss boats.
Thank you for showing me around …. It looks lovely …. And I think very cozy on a wild windy and wet English day….. make lots of memories
Thank you

Thank you Dennnyse, we are happy to take you along with us
annoying! you dont drive a narrowboat, you navigate a narrow boat! & you dont park a boat, you moor a boat! get it right you lot.
You should have booked yourself a narrowboat holiday! 😊 Perhaps you'll yet be able to, in a year or two.
@@FloatingOurBoat that's a proper narrowboat reply.. We are are a friendly family who helps each other else we wouldn't survive ❤
Dennyse I would be happy to navigate you through London if you ever decide to make the trip x
Love your home very cosy , lovely views. Thanks for showing us. Greetings from Australia 💖👍
She's a lovely boat! Many years of happiness for all of you!
Thank you
Laura Maisie is just beautiful!! Thank you for showing us around and we hope you have many happy years enjoyment with her!
I hope so too!
This is my dream living on a boat following the canals in England
A boat and also a rv
Your new narrowboat is very beautiful! Enjoy!
We will!
Thanks for showing us around your gorgeous new home. She's beautiful, congrats!!
Thank you!! 😊
What a beautiful boat. Wishing you many many happy miles cruising.♥️🙂

Absolutely gorgeous and well planned comfy, cozy space. 💕. Great to see a truly new build.
Very beautiful boat home 🏡.
She's a beauty of a boat. Best wishes for many, many years of joy aboard her.
Fantastic boat, lucky people, hope you enjoy every minute of it.
Magnificent. Mine is a 30ft Hancock and Laine 42 years old with a mooring in Leeds.
Beautiful build you must be over the moon.
What a lucky man. Yes we are all jealous. Great boat and crew.
Very beautiful. Light & airy. Great colors & wood. Well Done!
Thank you very much!
this is so cute. i thank youtube for recommending this

I love your kitchen. That sink is great. The whole lay out is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Lovely boat--great tour--beautiful livery colors, too.
Thank you
So modern never seen one as nice makes me a little envious Arm and a leg no doubt So enjoy
It’s absolutely stunning and as John Lydon might have said “may the canals rise with you”.
Best wishes from a very rainy Dublin X
Many thanks!
Your home is just so beautiful....love your accent....I live in Tennessee USA.....many say they love our southern accent....love the Brit’s thanks for sharing your lovely home...
We certainly love the southern accent. Thank you for joining us from Tennessee

We love the idea of an RV and think we may try it some day. I think the living in a small space is similar but not sure which is safer.
Every time I look at your beautiful new home I get shiny bit envy 😍
Can’t wait to get moored up with you pair for some towpath fun. ❤️❤️
We only got a new boat because we loved yours so much. lets meet up soon, we need you to tell us what our engine manual says xxxxx

Fantastic to have a wash machine!
