When you live that lifestyle I imagine a community spirit is essential. The cauliflower nuggets sound like aa winter comfort food. Lovely video May. Stay warm and well and we'll see you again next time.
“Cracking” Vlog May. Great to see the community spirit. Shame you potentially had to move the boat in those conditions and certainly think you made the right call to stay put. Thank You for sharing
Walked on the Caldon this morning, from the hollybush at Denford to Hazelhurst,out on the Caldon back on the Leek branch. Just a tad muddy inplaces, loving your adventures north. Pete and Lorraine
I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and decided to have a nice drink of cacao. I sat down and thought “what would bring me a lot of peace and joy right now” and I thought of you. Love watching your videos, such a lovely corner of the internet
Aww josie thank you for sharing this it really does make a huge difference. Every time I struggle to pick up the camera or sit down to edit I remember these kinds of comments and they motivate me so thank you! Sending you big hugs
It has to be said, What a joyful attitude that you have throughout your videos. The way that you tackle any problem and you still have a smile when doing so. You are a true inspiration to many and have a wonderful life style to go with it. Well done and please keep up the great work
Dear May, Here's a tip for you. Next time you need to physically pull "Baby" closer to shore, or along the shore, wrap the line around your hips and use your body weight by leaning back into the line. Using this method will prevent injuries to your shoulder(s) in the future. As for your barge pole, next time you see George see if he would put a steel pointed tip on the pole. That will make ice breaking easier but will add a bit of weight to the pole. Mark Alberta, Canada
@@t1n4444agree. This guy who is freely dispensing the same advice is all over the boaters' vlogs, and doesnot know what he's talking about. But he doesn't know that he doesn't know, if that makes sense
Love your vlogs May, it’s right what your friend said about damaging your blacking it also damages the blacken moored boats and if there are plastic or fibreglass boats you could push a sheet of ice through them
It’s sort of a thing that you don’t move through ice. The CRT don’t have a problem with overstaying if this happens as you can damage your own, and other, boats. 🥰
@@wellbeingonwaterIf you didn't know you didn't know, but it's really a thing. You don't want to accidentally sink 'Cruising the Cut' now, that would be very bad!
“Cracking “ Vlog May. Great to see the community spirit shining through. It’s a shame you even had to consider moving the boat given the conditions and I think you made the right call to stay put. Your happiness and energy shone through in the vlog Thank You for sharing
Amazing May the ice breaking machine. The boatinh world is wonderful thing to part especially in winter. The more difficult the challenge the more times you end up talking to your boat. Yes you made correct decision best thing to do stay put with ice like that. PS we would all like a album of you singing or at least it's Christmas single
Many Thanks, sitting here in 40 degree heat with fans going full bore and trying to get cool is helped with the vision of you cheerfully cracking ice around your boat. Your cheerful little vlog lifts my spirits whilst trying to make sense of all the mayhem (excuse the pun!) going on around the world. 🦘l so look forward to your posts. 🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Just seen this!! So sorry I didn’t reply. Just found a fancy button that helps me isolate comments and Super Thanks Gifts 🎁 I really appreciate your kindness and support! Ooo those cold days are coming back around as you move into the warmer ones! Sending seasonal love to you!
Hi May thanks for sharing another awesome video. Great to see all the different aspects of boating, awesome singing when are you two bringing out a album. Keep up the great work take care and stay safe 👍 😊.
Hiya May ... Great vlog as usual lush to see you and mate making memories 😀 ...ben and Emily are certainly expandinv their adventures saw you and George with them playing cards ♦️
Great video may, I didn't think you could get stuck in ice on the canal with you being such a ray of sunshine yourself, joking aside a little tip for you from us anglers, if you have room on your boat then carry a sledge hammer head on a chain connected to a rope and use that to break the ice
Don’t worry, we won’t tell the CRT! I had to watch Ben & Emily’s channel to see that George is still in the picture…yay! You should do some backing vocals on one of Benny’s tracks; you have a lovely singing voice. 😀🎶😀
Hi May well technically you did move your boat ! But if you had attempted to move it along the canal it may have caused a lot more damage to all boats close by not good for anyone. Stay safe!!! Cheers
Who ya gonna call? "ICEBUSTERS". Fine job busting ice. Careful,don't bust anything else lady! Loved the music! Did hello fresh when I had a real kitchen. Good food! ❤
Are they your Sunday jeans? because they are quite holy….boom boom. They’ll be nice in the summer. Not so good in that cold weather! The hole of your body will be frozen. 🥶 Love your videos. Very entertaining keep up the good work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just so I don't miss them, is Saturday night the new upload? I thought before Christmas you were going for Sunday night? Have a good week lass, I'm sure CRT won't have tried to move you on, good to see you getting sponsored too 🙂, Kevin
Greetings May, 🎉 blimey an ice breaker, impressed. Think you might need to invest in a new pair of jeans. 🕳️hole in bottom, ups jeans 👖😅😅 how on earth did that happen. Tony ❤xx
A bloody range on a boat! Now theres posh. They're a gift in a house so multiply that by 10 for a boat. Theres something squillerly about gathering up wood and having to gather up wood during daylight to keep you warm at night. A needle and thread for the arse of your pants wouldn't be grandeur either.😂
It will be better in may😇 However, wouldnt it be better to wear a flotation vest? The water is really cold, and if you fall in you wont have long before the cold incapacitates you. There is nothing on narrowboats that would help getting out of the water.
Hi May, I have a question please, is it cold enough there for the narrowboat canals to freeze solid and totally immobilize the narrowboat traffic? Thanks Ken
@@wellbeingonwater Thank you, btw is there a reason for not using a small Diesel heater like the Danish brand Refleks? Not knowing much about narrowboats technically it seems to me being way more convenient than dealing with wood.
Thought as much . They asked some very pertinent questions regarding your site then told me I had won an IPhone 14 and some sort of bbq? I declined giving my details but to begin with it seemed very convincing.
You have scammers saying they are you to chat on Telegram and that you are having a giveaway trying to get info and to get people to pay shipping fees 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe you should make a short or a quick video saying it is scammers
I might understand the need to play musical chairs in the height of the season to stop people hogging all the best spots but in the low seasons like now, where is the necessity - seems like a pointless, environmental waste to me?
Too much ice to 'move' the boat, or the ice. just read some comments from experienced boaters, so deleting my advice because i don't know what I'm talking about eh, @markrant4133. Where i Iive, we have a canal but it's partially drained in winter, allowed to freeze so we can have an Ice festival. But, climate change means the weather's not reliable any more. Good to see you are trying different things to keep going. Maybe get a sponsor who will supply you with active hard-wearing clothes, jeans fall apart because they are loose-weave. You need microfiber fabric that won't fall apart under duress

Hi May,
Another radiant winter episode.
Yay, thank you!
I loved the camera work in this.
Aww cheers 👌 was helpful to have someone film me!!
Hi May 😊
It’s freezing where you are … in Staines is actually getting warmer 😅
Lucky you!
Hey MAY hope you are nice and warm great video and greetings from Cornwall
Hello there! How’s it down in Cornwall these days?
Hey may how you getting on? Ain't seen all your video yet but looks cold out there on the river 👋🥶
Hi May well technically you did move your boat ! But if you had attempted to move it along the canal it may have caused a lot more damage to all boats close by not good for anyone. Stay safe!!! Cheers

Great video May xx
Thank you!!

Yay!
Girls bloody brilliant ❤❤
Find a video on sweating lines. This is more commonly a sailing boat technique, but it will save you a lot of back-ache in certain situations.
Stay warm
Cheers Brad!
Are they your Sunday jeans? because they are quite holy….boom boom. They’ll be nice in the summer. Not so good in that cold weather! The hole of your body will be frozen. 🥶
Love your videos. Very entertaining keep up the good work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haha this is a good one! Counting all the hole in jeans comments, your number 6 and gotta say one of the best! Haha
Just so I don't miss them, is Saturday night the new upload? I thought before Christmas you were going for Sunday night? Have a good week lass, I'm sure CRT won't have tried to move you on, good to see you getting sponsored too 🙂, Kevin

Was nice to see your life from a different perspective with someone else filming 😊 keep warm and stay as happy as you look here 🫦
THANK YOU MAY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you too
Hi May, I have a question please, is it cold enough there for the narrowboat canals to freeze solid and totally immobilize the narrowboat traffic?
Thanks
Ken
Yes and yes
Thanks May!
The music that starts at 5.40 is that something you made yourself ?
sorry to ask but what is the cheapest way to stay warm on a canal boat thingy, yes clothing but I mean heat source stuff
Foraging wood!
i have rabbit he wants to eat all my wood i collect sadly @@wellbeingonwater
i love you to amazing videos .. x x x
Yay thanks!
sticks of dynomite, ya split your drawers hon
and hand gernades work, cough cough an old army guy told me :)
You’re the second commenter, I’m counting!
Ice is a good excuse not to move. CRT cant do much about that 🤷♂️

Hi May, nice vlog. Excessive use of mikes would be advantagous.
Yes, true
@@wellbeingonwater Thank you, btw is there a reason for not using a small Diesel heater like the Danish brand Refleks? Not knowing much about narrowboats technically it seems to me being way more convenient than dealing with wood.
love u
Awww
That is one smokey engine.
Yes always has been
Another great video may are you aware that someone is using your profile to scam saying they have won a prize on a giveaway
Yes please report them !!
Did your Chanell get hacked ? discussion on telegram?
Not hacked just scammers trying their luck
Mae, I adore you, you're beautiful
Hi May A question and this may sound odd or you may know what Im talking about ....Did we just have a chat on Telegram ?
No we didn’t!! It’s a scammer!!
Thought as much . They asked some very pertinent questions regarding your site then told me I had won an IPhone 14 and some sort of bbq? I declined giving my details but to begin with it seemed very convincing.
Should be ice alating
Looking healthy what's your secret 😉 ❤

Right!

Sigh!! My videos are scheduled in advanced but I’ll say something as soon as I can
@@wellbeingonwater you can make a post here on youtube.
@@thegreengoddess8850 Oh yes, I did that as soon as I realised it was happening
@@wellbeingonwaterwell i have looked for that her and on Instagram. I unsubscribed because I get the impression it’s not a concern of yours. Bye.
I might understand the need to play musical chairs in the height of the season to stop people hogging all the best spots but in the low seasons like now, where is the necessity - seems like a pointless, environmental waste to me?
Maybe, there’s a slight change to the rules. 24/48 hr spots become 2 weeks. So I guess that’s helpful
shame liked your vlogs until hello fressh i dot watch shopping channels
That’s fine, you do you honey
Wow please stop singing 😅 lol
Oi!!!
