Our first real day let loose by ourselves on the tidal rivers surrounding the nene, the original plan was to start on the canals and work our way up to the rivers, so this is a big test. we start at Peterborough in our new houseboat and work our way over to march on our off grid adventure clueless but willing to learn new boaty ways

HELLO I LOVE STOKE-ON-TRENT AND CANAL PORTS AND CENTERS YOU HAVE A LOVELY NICE BIG CITY AND BRILLIANT PEOPLE HAVE GOOD TRIP WITH YOUR WAY AND PROMOTION !!!
Thanks the canals and rivers are amazing, so much history and and so many adventures to have, we can’t wait to get fully going.. this is only the start. Thanks so much for your lovely comment 😊
Good luck to you two. Have fun time.
Thank you!
Wow! First journey and your going through the Middle Levels to Salters Lode lock (your first tidal experience) then Denver. Ideally moor at the EA Moorings but if all else fails you can 'wild moor' - just have your hammer and pins ready. As new boaters the most important thing to learn is NOT to travel faster than 4mph max! Always slow down to tick-over when passing a stationary boat or where ducks/moorhens etc are nesting because your wake won't do either any good. We are moored just beyond Ely at the Upware Marina - although you will turn to starboard down the Old West before then on your journey to St Neots. You are doing great and I'll give you a wave if we see you on the Great Ouse!
Yes we try to moor at Ea mooring whenever we can, sometimes we’ve kept going in hopes for another one only to realise it’s creeping up to dusk and we still need to find a place to moor 😂 yes it seamed like quite the adventure though a tad nerve racking as we’re so new to it all, so far so good though, a few stressful parts too, we’ve learnt over the past days that taking your time is the best for everyone, oh amazing we did pass through Ely we’re just a bit behind with the vlogs, give us a wave Jill we love how friendly most boaty people are, best of luck to yourself on your own adventure hope to see you soon 😀
Epic!! looking forward to the sluse! Dont sink it!!!
EPIIIIC bro nice one 😀
Brilliant!!!!! thanks for this guys, how brave is Bex for hand feeding those murder geese
She’s so good at it bless her, the murder geese can be pretty reckless little buggers 😂 they honestly think everything’s owed to them haa
@@TheNomadicCrobot geese are bloody awful,i won't walk past em as i am terrified of birds
Happy birthday Chris.
You have a good lady there.
You wanna feel old?
Your 15 years older then how old I was when we first met.
Get cruising dudes
haha we seriously need to get cruising. Thanks Dave 😂😂😊❤️
Hi guys,wish I had known you was coming to March I live there I would have brought you a drink or two ,you sure have pick a hard trip for your fist one the outwell upwell canals so narrow and no water, Denver slice mmm not a easy choice going on the the Ouse tidal water ,should be interesting trip ,
,most enjoyable till next time take care keep safe,John 👀👀🇬🇧🥂🌹🌹🥵🥇🥇👏👏
Bless you John, thanks that’s very sweet off you, yes the trip definitely had it’s scary parts especially as a first time boater, there were moments I thought maybe we had bitten of a bit to much, but generally it all went smoothly, the tides were manageable, and we did get stuck a few times in shallow water so there are tricky parts,the people are so friendly, it’s an amazing way off life, I can’t recommend it enough, I’m sure there will be many problems but we just see it as part of the adventure 😃👌
Cracking video loved it you both did excellent, but I hope you didn't put petrol in her Lol 😂😂😂 try Diesel it will work a treat ☺👍
Thanks Charlie, it’s pretty straight forward once you get going though you do have to concentrate a lot, oh yeah I ment diesel 😂😂
And sir Chris notalot was born 😂😂❤
this is were my journey of doing nothing started 😂😂
Hi guys, stumbled across your channel. Woow I'm hooked. Great video. More more please :-)
Aww thanks so much, we really appreciate the love, such an exciting and some time’s chaotic lifestyle, but its all worth it in the end… until we sink 😂 thanks for your comment 😀
Just found you guys…have subscribed …enjoyed what I’ve seen
Thank you Michael we’re very new to it all, we appreciate the support 😀
Great to see you finally cruising on your own boat. My advice would be to do a Helmsman course. We did one after hiring boats for about 18 years and we still learnt a lot of useful information.
We would love to do one and have always said we would, we have learnt a hell off a lot this week but there’s so much to take in, thanks for your advice Gary , such an exciting new adventure
Nice one, happy travels.
Thank you 😊
Great start love the excitement of your channel 👍
Thanks so much for your lovely comment ☺️
Really nice boat. You can moor anywhere you can get a spike in on rivers. Have you got a fire because you have the same boiler as me and it uses a 13kg bottle a week. That's £35. I use the fire in winter and the boiler for hot water when the engines not running. I have to turn all the radiators off to do that. Good luck and see you on the cut.
That’s good to know thanks Will, oh is it the same?? It seams to work really well and we haven’t run out yet, that seams like quite a lot a week, is that because there an older type?? we do have a burner but haven’t tried it yet, and the heaters are going to be taken out for know as they were classed as dangerous, thanks again can’t wait to see you on the cut
So much to learn but it's going to epic!
There really is so much to learn, but all part of the fun, we’re ready to hit it all head on, thanks Dorothy 😀
Your video came up for me today and I enjoyed it so much I decided to subscribe right off. I think you did very well for your maiden voyage. Good luck with the rest of the trip. Have a Blessed day. BTW...I am nosey as well and I love to look at the yards and gardens etc. as you pass them.
yes what better way to have a good little nose into people gardens haha aww thank you so much we’re really new to it all but enjoying every second, there’s so much to take in and learn, it’s fascinating, I can’t believe we didn’t choose this life earlier it’s like a secret little club that we’ve decided to join without asking 😂 good luck with your adventure too 😃
Loving the content. Have you thought about moving in drinks maybe Ely to Cambs. Lots of love (and hugs for Talbot). Joe, Suzy and Ruth.
Definitely buddy, that sounds like a cracking idea, it would probably take us a few days to get to Ely though maybe more, it’s a slow old process haaa , we will definitely be doing a moving in party once we have her all ready for moving into watch this space😘👌👍
Excited for the boat tour, or did I miss it. She looks like a lovely boat. I'm happy for you.
Thank you, we did do a tour of the boat when we viewed her but it had all the sellers stuff in it, we will be doing a tour off her again once we have got her ready for ourselves, thanks again
Get yourself a Nicholson canal guide for the area you are on....eventually you can get the set for all the network.....as you do each canal..s..
Yes we have one ready for when we start the canals, currently we’re on the Ouse so there doesn’t seam to be a Nicholson guide to that area, there are others that are maybe worth looking into, thanks for your comment 😀
Excited for you!
Thank you 😊
