As Americans who met and were married in England in 1960 and have returned for visits several times, we look forward to enjoying your travels. The view from the longboat provides us a unique view of the beautiful countryside of the UK.
You’re right, the views from the canals give such a different perspective of the beautiful British countryside. Thanks for watching and for joining us on our travels 🙏
Now that's what I call a dream boat. She's absolutely gorgeous and a very cosy home. We have always had Westies in our family. I don't know how you manage to keep everything so pristine with muddy paws, etc.!
Thank you so much Rozanna! It is a challenge keeping the boat clean, especially in winter with all the muddy towpaths. This year has been particularly wet, and you just have to accept a certain level of mud on board or you go insane! 😂😊
Greetings! That's a beautiful Canal Narrowboat! I'd never seen the interior of one before. Back in the mid 70's, we lived on a 43 foot, twin screw Pacemaker, moored in Alamitos Bay Marina, Long Beach, CA. I know something about "storage space", and the lack thereof! After Highschool Graduation in '81, I spent three months in England with a HS chums Family, who happened to own several properties there. Home base was in Hammersmith, on Nella Road. I recall seeing a few Canal Boats from a distance. Yours is breathtaking! Bravo! Enjoy your new adventures!
Thanks so much for your kind words! You’re right, storage solutions are definitely the key! We plan to cruise through London eventually, most likely next year now when we have a little more experience for the River Thames. Thanks so much for watching 😊
Wow! Just starting our search for a boat, and if there was ever a boat as near to my perfect idea, this is it ! How beautiful and so well designed. Wishing you well on your new life, and lots of adventures with your 3 little companions !
So happy to help with your decisions of what will work for you in your boat search. This was exactly how we did our research a year ago, watching endless tours of other people’s boats! Good luck with your search and keep us updated 😊
@@jeanrobins745 That was very helpful for us, although we had already made most of our decisions by then! We went to Crick the day after we landed back in England 😂
Thank you so much. Having lived aboard for 2 years now, we can truly say that this layout works perfectly for us, and the thoughtful storage has been wonderful. 😊
It’s one of our all time favourite shows, hence the name choice. It was just perfect. Our son was Jean Valjean in his senior year and we cried every night when he sang Bring Him Home (you can see it in the videos on his website www.alexjrudd.com if you would like). His dream is to be in the Broadway or West End production one day 🇫🇷 ❤️
This is Leigh from your previous decade in the Houston area, where the rodeo has just kicked off. Your new home is gorgeous. Wouldn't it be great if would all remain so pristine? I chuckled at the crap cupboard. So happy the sweet pups are enjoying the new lifestyle. I look forward to following your adventures, as I do Fran and Rich. Stay well, Caroline and Pete.
Thanks so much for watching Leigh! We have such great memories of the rodeo! When we first moved to Texas, Alex and Sophie’s first day of school was Go Texan Day with everyone dressed up! Imagine that as the perfect ‘Welcome to Texas’ experience 🤠 ❤️
@@onedaymoreaboard that is a terrific memory. I must confess that I have never attended the rodeo in the decades I've lived here because I don't like crowds. But I do love that our huge city accommodates horses and wagons. - Leigh
Beautiful boat,lovely name for it. I love the colour of your units and the fact the colour goes throughout. Some very useful storage spaces. Planned well and great design. Finally adorable dogs. 😍
I just "found" your channel. Your narrowboat is lovely! Very modern looking and elegantly designed & decorated. I look forward to watching more videos of your camel adventures. - Eric in USA
That’s how we learnt, by watching so many boat tours and deciding what we liked the best, and would work well for living aboard. Still happy with our choices now we have been living with it for a few months 👍
Thanks for an excellent tour of your boat which is outstanding. The interior is very tasteful as well as practical. Best wishes for many enjoyable cruises.
That’s so good to hear! We had watched many, many virtual boat tours ourselves when deciding on a builder and design features, so we wanted to make sure we covered every single feature in our own tour! 😊
That was brilliant - so well narrated and the vessel is stunning. Really like all of the cabinetry and hidey holes. Will now start to watch all of the episodes with a good glass of wine. Cheers Swanny
Thanks so much! We had watched so many boat tours ourselves in our ‘research’ phase for this new life, and wanted to make sure we included showing every tiny hidey hole and as much detail as possible. Good to hear you enjoyed it 😊
Love your color scheme - really beautiful, and I feel quite sad that the outside will get weather at all - no business raining on that lovely boat ! Your doggies are adorable, so sweet & non-crazy ! Enjoy your special home !
Thanks for all of your wonderful compliments. We are so happy with how the colour turned out after making a quick decision so we didn’t lose our paint slot ❤️
Great boat tour. Love the shade of blue on the cupboards and the outside of the boat as well. Look forward to seeing more of your canal boating adventures.
Loving the videos especially enjoy the Furry Crew. Appreciate all the information you include in the videos. Would love to do a narrowboat travel but beyond me now. I am an 80 year old single female. I am living vicariously through your you tube videos.
We love that we have this way to take you on our travels with us! And it’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying the ride. As you can see, Hamish and Poppy love their boat dog life 😊
Very pretty decor in the boat🤩. Lovely to see another new boater, it’ll be a difference for you for sure, everything is big in Texas and then to go much smaller in the boat with three doggos. Looking forward to more.👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
One of the first things I thought about when they said they'd just moved back to the UK from here was they'd be going from a TX sized refrigerator to the tiny narrowboat ones. Ack! But on the bright side, they don't have to clean out all the stuff that gets lost in a monster fridge anymore. (Speaking of crap drawers.. 😱 mine is my fridge!) Beautiful boat!
Hello! I lived in Corpus Christi for some time before moving to Nevada. Loved the tour of your beautiful home and look forward to seeing more of the Westie Crew Members 👍👏🏼🐶. Thank you.
We made it down to Rockport and CC a couple of times during our time in Texas! Thanks for joining us on our travels, and there will be many more westie videos coming soon. They love their new boat dog life! 😊
Yes it was a rather drastic downsize! One of our next vlogs will be about how we actually achieved it! Still can’t quite believe we managed it 😂 Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you so much for watching! The crew love their new boat dog life! Happy that we have introduced you to the beautiful world of narrowboating and hope you follow along on our travels 😊
This is an amazing love in boat . it looks like a small ferry boat but very unusual. I love the well organized features inside. It is spacious and very nicely decorated. They did a very good video one of the best.
I live in America and this is my absolute dream. If only I had the money to even fly over there and rent one for a week or two, but, alas, I'm a poor old woman, will never be able to do that in my life, these videos on NARROW boats harken to my Heart. This is my first time watching yours. So Lovely! Thank you with all my heart for sharing your videos on your life upon your Beautiful narrow boat. In my heart always!❤ Absolutely Beautiful!
Absolutely wonderful! Congratulations on your new boat. I am just a person that watches, but I am truly glad you bought bow thrusters, even though it’s said to be a luxury. I will be watching to see when you use them. Much luck.
Great video and a beautiful boat. Your layout is excellent. A very professional job. Looking forward to watching upcoming videos. Also, I just subscribed!
You hae a beautifull boat and it looks like you really took your time pouring over every square inch to make it work as a quality usable space! Good job! Beth (from Virginia)
Thanks so much Beth. We loved the design process, even though we had to do it all virtually. But our boat fitter was a dream to work with and made our vision come to life 👍
Very nice Vlog. I just stumbled upon this. Your boat/home is beautiful. Love the cabinet color and all the storage. The use of space throughout was very well thought out. Thanks for sharing. PS The dogs and Dave the Tilller Pin are adorable. 🐾
Beautiful boat. I’m in the process of trying to decide on a builder to build me a boat. Waiting until I go to Crick to see more options though. Good luck with the channel. I’ll be following your progress. Phil
Thanks for watching. We would have loved to have seen a few boats and met with builders before we chose, but Covid and living in Texas at the time our a stop to those plans! But we are so happy we took a chance on Russell Narrowboats, and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Good luck 😊
We have a centre head height of 6ft 9” and actually said would Scott fit ??? And I guess you can sleep with your legs tucked up or hanging out of the duck hatch! Thanks for keeping up with our travels virtually ❤️
Hello, You have a lovely boat home; the painted cabinets look great! I am sending virtual ear scratching for those cute little fellas. Looking forward to watching more videos, xoxo's Sandie
Thanks for watching Sandie and Jasper, Hamish and Poppy appreciate those war scratches! You’ll see them living their best life as boat dogs in future videos ❤️
What a gorgeous, well thought out, beautifully crafted, cavernous home you have!! I just love it and the little extras you've added too. Who'd have thought of putting floats on key rings?? Clever. Answer: someone who's dropped their keys in the canal. Certainly a great recommendation for you. Whoever built this masterpiece deserves a medal! The colours are so fitting. Bang on current UK trend too. How long ago did you take delivery? And, if I may ask, where were you in Texas, please? This new, yet ancient, subscriber is really looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you both.
Thanks so much for watching! We were on the outskirts of Houston for 10 years The build process took from March, to the launch in September 2021, and we thankfully didn’t have any hold ups! I hope you enjoy our travels 😊
I really enjoyed your vlog. You explained everything very well and the background music was not too loud and distracting. Beautiful boat, lovely dogs and a well presented interesting vlog. I have subscribed and look forward to more vlogs, as you post them. Thank you...cheers...from Australia.
Thanks so much for you kind words, especially the compliments about the editing of the video. We are learning as we go, and tried to use everything we loved about our favourite vlogs that we watch ourselves 😊
Absolutely beautiful boat, love the exterior colour and all, the matching interior cupboards. It must be such a culture shock from Texas to the canals of England. So much downsizing but you seem to gave managed it admirably. I wish you much happiness on your new boat. I have subscribed and will follow avidly ,it is my dream to do the same. Best wishes. Christine x
Thank you for your kind words Christine 😊 It really was a big challenge downsizing so drastically, but very cleansing at the same time! Our next vlog will show how we did it!
From my New England perspective a reverse style makes the most sense those diesel heaters. Absolutely love the eye level oven and grill the the whole galley has real feng shui. The accent color is very popular here and that is a couch I could deal with. I don't understand why you wouldn't have a walk thru head. And thanx's for explaining the difference between bed sizes. So what is problem some have with a bow thruster, And all I can say about that cockpit is WOW!!!
Such a cozy and yet practical lay out! And the bed is so clever with the extra bit at the feet! All you could dream of for comfortable living on the water! I am tempted now! ❤
Thanks so much! It’s worked well for us for sure, as you never really know until you actually move aboard and live with it for a while. One of our must haves was a UK kingsize bed, with bedside cabinets, we could achieve with the fold out cross bed design and we love how it turned out 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard that bed solution is the best one i’ve seen so far, most go from head to feet but that is never comfortable, i think you have the best solution yet! Must be great to stay in bed watching the water on a cold winter day! ❤️
Hey, new subscriber here. I just watched your last upload. How lovely. Lovely content leading me wanting to see more. Great news and such a lovely vessel. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. Thank you. Regards from Richard. I often watch the silver foxes on canal boat too.
Thanks so much for watching Richard, and for joining us on our travels. We actually based a lot out of layout and design ideas on Silver Fox as we love that boat 😊
Thanks Lawrence! Russell Narrowboats have a standard design, but were fantastic at adding in all of our tweaks and additions, including additional shelving and a king size cross bed with bedside cabinets, instead of their usual inline bed. You can see more detail of our design decisions and the build process in this video th-cam.com/video/F_e0vT9req4/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching 😊
I liked that fireplace. Lovely boat all round.
The fireplace is one of our favourite features, and we are so pleased how our vision turned out 👍
My gosh, from Texas to a narrow boat! No clue where in Texas, but that still is a massive change.
Yes a huge change for us! We downsized to 10% of our space in Texas! We were just south of Houston, near the Space Centre 👍
As Americans who met and were married in England in 1960 and have returned for visits several times, we look forward to enjoying your travels. The view from the longboat provides us a unique view of the beautiful countryside of the UK.
You’re right, the views from the canals give such a different perspective of the beautiful British countryside. Thanks for watching and for joining us on our travels 🙏

You should look at the crick show in June
We have our tickets booked ! Looking forward to going. Went last year, but it should be bigger this year I think, after the pandemic limitations.
@@jeanrobins745 That was very helpful for us, although we had already made most of our decisions by then! We went to Crick the day after we landed back in England 😂
@@jeanrobins745 We are excited to go again this year! 👍
I didn't know about these kind of boats I just found it searching tiny homes. Your boat is beautiful inside and out!!
Thank you so much! They are a very unique kind of tiny floating home ❤️
Without exaggeration, this is my most favorite boat/ layout/ crew ever! New follower! Can't wait to see where we go!
Wow that’s high praise indeed! Thank you so much for watching and following our travels 😊
I was just about to type this :)
@@onedaymoreaboard No pressure!
@@duckiegirl58 😂😂
Perhaps the most beautifully and functionally laid out narrow boat ever. We’ll done Tex.
Thank you so much. Having lived aboard for 2 years now, we can truly say that this layout works perfectly for us, and the thoughtful storage has been wonderful. 😊
Enjoyed the layout of the boat.looking forward to your future vlogs.badgerbob.
Thanks for watching 😊
Very nicely designed boat & tastefully appointed!
Thanks so much for your lovely words 🙏
Great to see a close neighbor over there enjoying those beautiful canals. Hello from Tucson Arizona
It really is a wonderful life. Thanks for watching 😊
by radomly clicking through some clips, i came across this gem right here. you guys appear so calm and down to earth while beeing on the water, lol!
We are happy you found us, and thanks for your lovely comments which mean so much, as we totally stepped out of our comfort zone to film this tour! 😊
Great name for the boat, great show also, we have seen it eight times now, back down to London in the summer to see it again.
It’s one of our all time favourite shows, hence the name choice. It was just perfect. Our son was Jean Valjean in his senior year and we cried every night when he sang Bring Him Home (you can see it in the videos on his website www.alexjrudd.com if you would like).

Lovely, just lovely. Reminds me of van life design. My British brother-in-law & sister rented a canal boat for a couple of weeks.
Yes, you’re right, the storage solutions are design are very similar to camper vans. Thanks so much for watching 😊

Wow that's interesting! Glad we could help out 😊
Lovely boat! I've been following you on Instagram, welcome to TH-cam!! Best of luck with the channel.
Thanks so much for joining us on our travels ❤️
This is the first time I've ever seen A narrowboat. And I love your accents, which doesn't change while you're talking so I know its real.
Thanks for watching and we are happy to have introduced you to the beautiful world of narrowboating and the UK canals 😊
Nice kitchen layout and use of space 👌. Love the dogs 🐕
The best boat layout and build out I've seen 👍
Thanks so much for your wonderful praise, and for joining us on our adventure 😊
Now THAT'S what I call a boat tour, Wish it was mine. So light and airy, Really enjoyed it. Best wishes.
Thanks so much for watching 😊

That’s how we learnt, by watching so many boat tours and deciding what we liked the best, and would work well for living aboard. Still happy with our choices now we have been living with it for a few months 👍
That is one of the best Narrow Boats I have seen so far. Built to your specifications, very nice.
Thanks so much Brian! We love how our boat builder brought all of ideas to life 😊
Very clever design, looks like it’s got everything you’d want.
It’s working out perfectly so far ❤️
Best boat tour I have ever viewed and I have seen a lot. Thank you so much for sharing and all the best in your travels.

We watched so many narrowboating vlogs when we were planning our move, it’s good to be able to give back a little now. Thanks for watching 😊
Really nice, and I love the layout and color scheme . I look forward for more cruising videos. Cheerio
So glad we went with these colours. We love how it’s turned out. Thanks so much for your support ❤️

We just sold an Aquila 54 powercat which we had in Phuket Thailand -so narrow boating is the exact opposite - maybe we need a change!
Very nice and well thought out arrangement. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching. It was so good to see all of our plans come to life, and now living with it and seeing it work perfectly 👍
Those doggies are magnificent

Great boat tour. Love the shade of blue on the cupboards and the outside of the boat as well. Look forward to seeing more of your canal boating adventures.
Thanks so much for watching. We love how the colours turned out in real life, after choosing them online! 😊
Never seen a boat like that really impressed
Glad we could introduce you to the wonderful world of narrowboating! Thanks for joining us on our travels 😊

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for watching!
We just downsized but y’all give a whole new meaning to downsizing!!
Yes it was a rather drastic downsize! One of our next vlogs will be about how we actually achieved it! Still can’t quite believe we managed it 😂 Thanks for watching 😊

We are glad we added the bow thrusters! We only use them when absolutely necessary but they are a huge help in some situations 👍
What a gorgeous boat, so carefully designed...🩵
Thank you so much! We live how it turned out. Our builders were wonderful at bringing our design ideas to life! 😊
Great video and a beautiful boat. Your layout is excellent. A very professional job. Looking forward to watching upcoming videos. Also, I just subscribed!
Thanks so much for your kind words. They mean a lot when it’s so new to us! Learning as we go 👍

Thanks for watching. We would have loved to have seen a few boats and met with builders before we chose, but Covid and living in Texas at the time our a stop to those plans! But we are so happy we took a chance on Russell Narrowboats, and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Good luck 😊
Superb! What a stunner! Pete I mean not the boat ;) glad you took the plunge. Looking forward to more
He really is 😂
Absolutely gorgeous boat, may I ask who was your boat builder and fitter, we will enjoy following you on your future journeys
It’s a Russell Narrowboat. They are based in Burton Upon Trent and were a dream to work with. Thanks so much for watching
Hi guys. Thanks for the tour. Get's good to know you have a guest bed. Scott and Shelly.
We have a centre head height of 6ft 9” and actually said would Scott fit ??? And I guess you can sleep with your legs tucked up or hanging out of the duck hatch! Thanks for keeping up with our travels virtually ❤️
Its been a while since I saw an interior done so well and I am looking forward to new clips. P.S. - your dogs are adorable.
Thanks for the lovely compliments! Our westie crew are definitely loving their new boat dog life 😊
Hello,
You have a lovely boat home; the painted cabinets look great! I am sending virtual ear scratching for those cute little fellas.
Looking forward to watching more videos,
xoxo's Sandie
Thanks for watching Sandie and Jasper, Hamish and Poppy appreciate those war scratches! You’ll see them living their best life as boat dogs in future videos ❤️
What a gorgeous, well thought out, beautifully crafted, cavernous home you have!! I just love it and the little extras you've added too. Who'd have thought of putting floats on key rings?? Clever. Answer: someone who's dropped their keys in the canal. Certainly a great recommendation for you. Whoever built this masterpiece deserves a medal! The colours are so fitting. Bang on current UK trend too. How long ago did you take delivery? And, if I may ask, where were you in Texas, please? This new, yet ancient, subscriber is really looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you both.
Thanks so much for watching! We were on the outskirts of Houston for 10 years The build process took from March, to the launch in September 2021, and we thankfully didn’t have any hold ups! I hope you enjoy our travels 😊
this beautiful. it is a work of art,! Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for your lovely words 😊
I really enjoyed your vlog. You explained everything very well and the background music was not too loud and distracting. Beautiful boat, lovely dogs and a well presented interesting vlog. I have subscribed and look forward to more vlogs, as you post them. Thank you...cheers...from Australia.
Thanks so much for you kind words, especially the compliments about the editing of the video. We are learning as we go, and tried to use everything we loved about our favourite vlogs that we watch ourselves 😊
Well designed. Looking forward to more blogs.
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Absolutely beautiful boat, love the exterior colour and all, the matching interior cupboards. It must be such a culture shock from Texas to the canals of England. So much downsizing but you seem to gave managed it admirably. I wish you much happiness on your new boat. I have subscribed and will follow avidly ,it is my dream to do the same. Best wishes. Christine x
Thank you for your kind words Christine 😊 It really was a big challenge downsizing so drastically, but very cleansing at the same time! Our next vlog will show how we did it!
Delightful tour of your new boat. Wow, it is lovely
Thanks so much for the beautiful compliments 😊
From my New England perspective a reverse style makes the most sense those diesel heaters. Absolutely love the eye level oven and grill the the whole galley has real feng shui. The accent color is very popular here and that is a couch I could deal with. I don't understand why you wouldn't have a walk thru head. And thanx's for explaining the difference between bed sizes. So what is problem some have with a bow thruster, And all I can say about that cockpit is WOW!!!
Thanks so much for all of your lovely compliments. We just love how it all turned out, and the reverse layout works perfectly for us 😊
Lovely boat, happy travels.
Thank you 🙏
Enjoyed your video. Will look at more . enjoy your boat.. God bless
Thanks so much for watching 😊
What a lovely boat, look forward to seeing the next vlog.
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Such a cozy and yet practical lay out! And the bed is so clever with the extra bit at the feet! All you could dream of for comfortable living on the water! I am tempted now! ❤
Thanks so much! It’s worked well for us for sure, as you never really know until you actually move aboard and live with it for a while. One of our must haves was a UK kingsize bed, with bedside cabinets, we could achieve with the fold out cross bed design and we love how it turned out 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard that bed solution is the best one i’ve seen so far, most go from head to feet but that is never comfortable, i think you have the best solution yet! Must be great to stay in bed watching the water on a cold winter day! ❤️
Really enjoyed and looks super cozy inside. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks so much for watching. It is so cosy, and we love it ❤️
Lovely boat ..... subscribed now !
Thanks so much for you support 😊
Thanks for sharing your little floating boat, so nice and wonderful to have one to travel around. Nice to meet you, greeting from Texas 👍❤️
Howdy! Thank you so much for watching! Did you notice the Don’t Mess With Texas bottle openers ? 😂
Hey, new subscriber here. I just watched your last upload. How lovely. Lovely content leading me wanting to see more. Great news and such a lovely vessel. Looking forward to seeing your next upload. Thank you. Regards from Richard. I often watch the silver foxes on canal boat too.
Thanks so much for watching Richard, and for joining us on our travels. We actually based a lot out of layout and design ideas on Silver Fox as we love that boat 😊
Beautiful boat , dogs too !
Thanks so much ❤️
This is one of the nicer Narrowboats I have seen. You said, " Your boat builder," so I assume you'll designed the boat. Awesome job.
Thanks Lawrence! Russell Narrowboats have a standard design, but were fantastic at adding in all of our tweaks and additions, including additional shelving and a king size cross bed with bedside cabinets, instead of their usual inline bed. You can see more detail of our design decisions and the build process in this video th-cam.com/video/F_e0vT9req4/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching 😊
Very cute boat impressed😳😍
Thanks so much 😊
