Normal days and being very normal on our narrowboat

- Moving on, physically and emotionally, from The Great Fall into the canal last episode we attempt to have a few days without incident. Featuring: our first winding hole, a floating fridge, nearly decapitating out chimney and lots of other minor chaos. It's not all nature and countryside, this week we're taking in the sights and shopping trolleys of Rugby. Hope you enjoy the vlog!
🎬 Filmed by Kris Atomic and Andrew Kendall, edited by Kris Atomic.

The fish net for fishing, oh it makes me laugh so much! the glass inert, and the fish active… hilarious! Thank you for being you, it’s fantastic!
Hahah thank you! ☺️
You vlogs are pure poetry. I feel bereft when I watched the latest episode and have to wait for a new one.
That is so so nice to hear, thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you for letting tag along for the roller coaster ride of emotions....! Awesome!💕
Another triumph - can't wait for the soundtrack album! - personal highlights of this episode. "The glasses are inert but the fish are active" plus the classic "This is like B&M but like more intense...if that's possible" -- surely what James Bradfield and the Manics were thinking of when writing Design for Life -- epic -- keep up the good work!
Hahaha thank you so much, always love your comments!!
I’ve said it previously. I love the unique approach you take to vlogging. It keeps me enthralled with narrowboats and narrowboat life. Thank you.
That’s so lovely to hear, thank you! 🥰
I’m loving your vlogs! Love your humor😂. So glad Andrew didn’t edit out your “fishing” scene, brilliant! I also think the shot of gin may have helped with the canal germs 🦠. Y’all keep up the great vlogs❤️❤️
May I make a suggestion.
This on the basis that it is most probable that you WILL be
Taking a look again!!
My suggestion is to look at a divers shop like Chambers.
There are some waterproof camera housings.
Some quite cheap.
You won't need an expensive one as you aren't going down 30m.
But these dive shops have cheaper offerings than a full on camera housing.
Worth a look anyway.
Perhaps also consider a sort of safety line for the camera like the astronauts use.
You could take a look again but your camera would be belayed to the roof handrail etc.
These are simple and cheap expedients and shouldn't interfere with your excellent vlogs.
Just test all belay points so that if you take a look again your expensive equipment just hangs down the side of the boat above the waterline.
Providing you get into the habit of belaying your equipment that will save any future financial and emotional distress
You going in doesn't matter but it does all your camera gear etc😊
You can have a shower; change of clothes and a cry.
Your poor old camera gear can't!!!
Also for your next Tom Fords get one of those granny spectacle chains.
So that if they come off they should still be round your neck!
Or better still there are those retaining straps that sports people use especially skiers and sea boaters.
I would also suggest that you secure the windlass with a holdall strap and put across your body.
Easy the thread it through and then just unclip when going to use.
I think half the problem especially with you is that you have so much going on that you perhaps don't fully concentrate on your stability.
The measures I have suggested may mitigate what I feel will be inevitable again
That camera gear is expensive and I doubt it is insured or even insurable the way you use it.
Throughout all the mayhem, Andrew's steadfast ability to remain calm keeps thing moving along nicely. Good job Andrew. Its a pity about the camera and your glasses. But life is full of changes and acceptance is a coping mechanism. Great vlog Kris. Cheers
Thank you very much 😊
The Dunelm segment is not sponsored, but god I WISH
Shame about the glasses, camera and lens , but what does that matter when you have Andrew who fixes and rescues everything, lambs frolick on the banks of the canal and a fridge giving it large, floats down the middle of your canal and you have the knowledge that the somewhere, there is a fish rocking Tom Ford glasses up and down the canal. Moments to savour no doubt 😊
This is exactly the kind of thing I would do 😂 never change! Normal is boring x
🙌🙌🙌
You guys certainly know how to tell a story with your filming and excellent editing.
Thank you very much 🥰
glad the water didn’t make you ill! sorry about your glasses and RIP camera and lens. maybe this is the universe telling you to get an XT5! 😂 happy cruising and thanks for the vlog.
Thank for the updates, best new is that you did not get sick! I like your style and enjoy the vlogs. Thank you
Thank you Connie!
I've lost it when the fridge came floating by. 🤣 Howevermuch all these antics might be stressful for you two, they sure make for hilarious vlogs! x
Haha tell me about it 😂 the fridge ended me
Brilliant as always! Many Thanks for sharing, see you in a bit. Cheers
Another grear vlog - enjoy your filming and take on narrowbaot life. İ know you are in deep mourning for the loss of those Tom Fords but in this vlog you looked stunning.. Maybe canal life just agrees with you.
Another great video. Andrew is so chill, love it. Chris with the rain localized on 1 side of a 6 ft wide boat 🤔
Chris you have absolutely the best collection of coats. Sorry you couldn’t net your glasses, but very happy you didn’t get sick from the canal water. 🤗😊 Kathy
Ah, thank you Kathy 😊🥰
I just love watching your adventures your vlogging is awesome. Looking forward to your next one. Xxxx
Thanks so much Helen!
Yet another fabulous vlog!!! Keep them coming.
Would love to see what you’ve done to the inside of your boat and what food you cook etc, how you spend your time on the boat, especially in this hot weather. When people have asked me before… is it cold on a boat on winter?….. I always reply, it’s not the winters you have to worry about, it’s the summer 🥵 Too hot xxx
Another lovely film, very relaxing apart from the onscreen tension of wet tech! Seriously though how does the insurance industry treat canal dwellers? I trust they still provide cover but is it at a ridiculous premium due to the dangers you so beautifully demonstrated?
Great video even through the nitty gritty you have a super smile ❤
Thank you 😄
I'm so amused to find your videos! I've been watching narrowboat videos for about a year or two, but I used to be in the same livejournal community as you back in the 2010s. Loving this adventure for you, very jealous.
You can’t say that without telling me which LJ community!! Thank you for watching ☺️
Thanks for another briil vlogs .lots of lovely camera shots and super commentary love your voice .
Thank you! I find listening to myself back intolerable obviously, but that’s nice to hear 😂
Hi Guys, love your videos especially the 'soporific segment' & fyi, you have a landing net used to bring a hooked fish in.
That does make a lot more sense than what I was imagining haha. Cheers Mark!
💯
I can't believe Andrew didn't jump in to find your glasses - the water isn't that deep and he could have felt around with his feet.😂😂😂
Based on the number of rusty nails we pulled out with the magnet, I wouldn’t recommend getting feet anywhere near the bottom of a canal! But also it was too deep, I couldn’t stand up when I went in 😅
Great cat in your pic btw!
@@krisatomic Thanks, He's a Maine Coon named Malachai.
New subscriber.
Great vlog very well made 👏🏻
Thank you! 😊
Perfection, yet again. Plus carvery leftovers for breakfast!
Can’t go wrong with a good leftovers breakfast! 😊
My local patch, hope losing your glasses doesn’t put you off Hillmorton as it’s a great area. I’ve had problems in that winding hole with my boat which is 50 foot.
Not at all, we’ve been back and I’ve rebooted my feelings for it. It’s a great spot, really lovely since everything is green and in bloom! Good to know about the winding hole too, that makes us feel better 😅
Love your vlogs we look forward to them every week (you are definitely a city girl)
That’s fair 😂 thank you very much!
Enjoyed the video , sorry about the camera and lens and your glasses but like you said you didn’t get sick 🤢 from falling in ……📚💓📚
Thank you! Time has healed most wounds luckily (the financial ones particularly 😅)
Thanks
Thank you George!! ☺️
your hair was looking great the day after The Big Fall though!
Haha thank you!
Sorry you lost the camera, lens, glasses and eventually your iPhone. But I'm glad you're doing ok and didn't get seriously hurt in the fall or get worse off after. Life lesson I suppose. As usual, am utterly bewitched by the way you tell a tale. Even if its as simple as going to a Tesco.
Appreciate your comments so much, always ❤
Sorry the camera 📷 never made it 😢.
As long as you're OK things can be replaced love your vlogs keep safe and well 💖
You’re absolutely right! Thank you 🥰
what brand of wellies do you own?
They’re Hunter from about a million years ago 😊
Surely the trolley should have ended in the canal? 😉
There’s enough of that around there without us contributing 😅
@@krisatomic but it’s traditional! but well done for resisting 😄
So you are over it then😀
I got over it by getting under another camera you could say 😅
Going Shopping For Food/Books/Manga/DVDs/CDs and Clothes Would Be Fun and Safe If I Could Carry/Store Them All Inside Of A Portable Item Bracelet/Storage Device So I Can Walk Back To My Off-Grid Drivable/Floatable 150 Person Enclosed Lifeboat Tank Like Bunker Tiny Home Without The Fear Of Being Robbed + I Love YA TH-cam More and More
You should have a new "BOATING" channel name share with your partner. Both names as a couple, it's a together journey 😄🙏 2 X channels 💰💰
Episode 2 of "Kris Attempts to Contract Tetanus"
The water I swallowed previously acted like a booster shot
Cow wee
But did you die?
I like to think it’s made me stronger 😎
you will never live up to the standards of the old boating folk
Are you one of the old boating folk Billyjo?
