Feeing selfishly sad you are moving off Alba and on to a different life. I very much enjoyed your recording of the seasons and the joyful appreciation of nature. In addition, the earnest sweetness of Marina’s management of boat life and her narration of your adventures and day-to-day was a welcome point of calm in a frantic world. I also note the depiction of the love and care between the two of you has been an inspiration … even for a much older viewer. Best wishes!
You guys were my first TH-cam subscription! I've enjoyed watching your adventures over the years. Sure will miss you. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Take care.
Somehow expected this news, your my second boater to leave, I wish and hope you both happiness in your future endeavours, I will miss you, thanks for letting me into your lives, it’s been a beautiful pleasure to watch you, take care ❤❤❤❤❤
@@eastcoast4233 FoxesAfloat bought a farm. CruisingtheCut left than switch to Van camping. Now has a smaller boat. The couple that had the boat restaurant quit too. Probably some others. There was a lot more boat channels.
Sad to see you leave the waterways, but excited for your next steps in life 🥳 Thank you for giving us the confidence to take on narrowboat life, and thanks for paving the way for boaters and vloggers alike 😊💕 Best of luck to you both! 💜
This hasnt come as a shock.. given the slowing down of content.. i will really miss your channel ... your videos have always been enjoyable, and I've loved following you on this journey .. sad its come to an end... wishing you happiness in whatever is next for you guys... would have loved to hear what that looks like...
Thank you for sharing your lives with us in such an intimate way. Funny, but feels that you are family moving away that we will never see again. Wish you the best in this new chapter of your lives. ❤
During the lock downs I started watching Van-Life, Narrowboat and Sailing videos, not sure why I'll never do any of these things. After the lockdowns lifted three of the five Van life channels (I follow) all bought homes/land and became renovation/offgrid living channels, now were loosing the narrowboaters as well.
I do hope you will update us occasionally. We'll be wondering what you are up to. I think narrow boats are like some of the other things in life - you never own it, you look after it for the next person.Thank you for sharing your boating lives.You created one of my favourite channels. I wish you the very best for your future and I will keep the notification bell on my computer - just in case you put out an update.
Been watching you folks for the past 3 years and have enjoyed living narrow boat life vicariously. I wish you health and happiness in your future endeavors! Thank you…
A bittersweet day. While I will miss your vlogs, it has been lovely travelling with you, and I wish you all the very best with whatever you take on next. Thank you for taking us along with you all this time. Much Love!
That was to be expected given the recent months with few new videos I hope you are doing well in your new steps in life. I really enjoyed your adventures
Thank you guys for taking me on your adventures all the sunrise and sunsets the snow in winter and everything else that you kindly shared I wish you all the best for the future whatever you do♥♥
I bought my boat around the same time as you and like you started working from home and left Left London, and like you, Id like to try sailing. Your videos always made me calm and happy. Thank you for the many years of amazing videos! Sad to see you go!
I can't believe it has been five years. I shall miss you both and your weekly updates but particularly Marina's pure delight in nature and her calm narration. Best wishes to you both in your future endeavours.🥲
Going to miss your videos! There are many boaters that I enjoy watching, and each gives a different and interesting perspective of life on a narrow boat and the British canals. Wishing you the best in your endeavors going forward in your lives! Cheers!
Hello Myles, Marina. I sort of expected this. 5 years is a long time living on a narrowboat. We have have seen other narrowboaters go back on to dry land this past year or two. I have enjoyed following your journey and adventures. Wishing you both every happiness in your new adventure. All the very best. Spoolbox.
Will miss your updates. Left England when I was a boy, and thru your videos saw so much wonderful scenery from my home country I’d never have seen otherwise. I wish you all the very best, and thanks for taking us on your journeys. ❤
You will both be missed. Loved your vlogs especially when you spent summers on the Thames. Please let us know how you are doing in the future and wishing you both well.
We'll I will miss you both. I knew this was coming. I understand you both are moving onto other things. I truly hope you guys keep the vlogs so we can keep up with your new journeys. Love to you both 🩷🩷
May you have many new Adventures.I have enjoyed watching your boating Adventures on Alba.Sorry to see you leave ,you will be missed.May you find Happiness in whatever you do.🤗👋
Wishing you both all the best on your new adventures in life - hopefully you will keep vlogging those adventures showing us what your up to ❤❤❤ thanks for helping us all on the journey during coved to luv life cheers Debz from Oz
Wow! I will miss your weekly/biweekly episodes aboard Alba. You're the second couple who've sold their narrow boat. It was wonderful following along on your adventures, including a live band playing aboard Alba! I wish you all the best in the next chapter of your lives. Take care, Jenny USA
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I enjoyed seeing the sights I had loved when I lived in the UK. Bubs will keep me updated on how you are settling into life on the land. Love from 🇲🇺 Mauritius
Thank you both...wishing you all the best in your new ventures... your sharings from Alba have been a joy and pacea to current urban living ...so grateful... hope to hear more at the right times ❤
Great review of the past. A great reminder of the wonderful country side through the seasons and challenges of canal boating. Wish you the best for the future. Whatever you are moving onto, I hope you will name Alba, so that we can follow on.
You had such an influence on my husband and I buying and living on a narrowboat - we're an older couple who moved to the UK from RSA and decided to have an adventure :) thank you for helping us to decide on this lovely life. We passed you at Henley-on-Thames and waved like crazy, so excited to see you in person. We'll miss you both - thanks for sharing and for inspiring us. Good Luck
Wishing you all the very best for the future, your vlogs have been so calming and they really have helped me feel inner piece. Hopefully one day we will see you again. Two very lovely people and definitely an inspiration to us all . Sending much love and peace ❤
Watching you both now and I’m ready sad to hear your news , but also very glad for you. I’ve enjoyed all episodes and vlogs from Crushing Alba. Wishing you both loads of luck and all the best .
Thank you both for letting us into your life for the last 5 years,you will be truly missed.Good luck in what ever comes your way in the future.take care and stay safe ❤
Quite sad actually! Must've been difficult calling it a day, kudos for the closure, bye for now! As the Japanese say, a flower only blooms for so long.. life rolls on.
It's been such a treat to watch y'all's Alba journey! Thanks for sharing and best wishes for your future endeavors! Be well - many blessings! Cheers...
It all started during covid. I found TH-cam and selected canal boaters, golfers, urban explorers and electric car channels. I am now on my second EV and will not go back. One thing that would put me off canal boats would be the noise and smell of a diesel engine. However the lifestyle of living off grid has been made very appealing especially when presented by you two beautiful people. I am certain that either of you would do very well in television should you choose. Good luck for the future, you deserve it, and thank you very much.❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Watching you both has been such a lovely treat. Thank you for all you put into making your vlogs. Have so enjoyed it , you will be missed...but as you sent us all your love ending every vlog, we are now sending all our love to you as you end this wonderful journey onto your next adventures ❤ xx love to Susie and George. Xx
I will miss you both so much. Yours was the first of the many channel i started watching, Saturday morning in lockdown .watching you became my hightlight. Wishing you both all the very best moving forward, safe journeys big hugs Wendy xxxxxxx
İt's been lovely to live vicariously through your life on Alba but all good things come to an end. İ am sure you will now enjoy a proper flushing loo, plentiful water and hot baths , perhaps with sailing adventures on the open water, not limited by the canal system. Best wishes x
I remember bumping into you guys (not literally!) one summers evening on the Thames, must have been 2020? The connection with nature is what I miss the most, too. Boating is hard work but rewarding. Good luck with your next chapter in life.
Good luck guys,,, been a pleasure to watch your vlogs and meet u at honey street,,, I'm sure you both will be back, can't wait to see your next chapter 👍
I have been wondering what’s up with you. You will be missed. Wishing you many more wonderful adventures and would love updates. My emotions are all over the place. Happy and excited you are starting a new chapter in life. Sad because you are missed.
Must agree with dougeast, your soothing voice and calmness, is one of the main reasons I watch you guys… I hope you , in your new endeavours post a few blogs. 😊
Why start a new chapter when the chapter you are in is perfect. So what's next, kids ( don't do it ), thats when your life goes very quickly. I can assure you of that. Each time you will ever walk the towpath your regrets will come to the fore. But I say but, whatever you do with your lives I would just say a very big thank you for allowing us into your way of life. I will miss that voice of yours Marina. xxx❤❤

@@eastcoast4233 Oh, I see. Yeah, nobody recently that can think of. The Pirate is my last narrowboat channel that I follow.
@@eastcoast4233 Her name is Lorna something right? He did a few videos with her. i remember a live Christmas thing they did.
@robinblackmoor8732 Pirate will be next its getting far to expensive.
