- Finally, the launch day arrives for my Narrowboat, Aslan.
After she is lifted into the canal, I firstly stop at Yelvertoft Marina to fill up with water, and then embark on a two day maiden voyage northwards, along the Leicester branch of the Grand Union Canal.
Along the way, I stop overnight near North Kilworth and then face my demons, as I make passage through the long, damp and very dark, Husbands Bosworth Tunnel.

Excellent. What a great first trip. Congratulations.
Enjoyed watching you take your maiden voyage. I’m in Australia...I have terminal cancer and it was always a dream that one day I’d do what you’re doing on the canals in Britain. Of course that can’t happen now for me but I lived a bit of my own dream watching you get started. Good stuff mate.
"Very, very nice, indeed." "Absolutely amazing." "It is beautiful." - CHG Life changing, spontaneous emotions, peacefulness and affirming your decision. Went back in time to rewatch TBN videos: "Buying a Narrowboat" and "Narrowboat Launch Day". Listened again to your expressive reflection during your very first mooring of Aslan. My goodness, the narrowboat path you have traveled; your new experiences and discoveries over the years that you have kindly shared with all of us. Look at you and Aslan now. This is why people have a special connection with you; quality of character. Thanks so much Kevin
You can literally feel the weight being lifted off your soul as you got underway. VERY COOL
She's a BEAUTY, and i love the lope of that engine!!!! SWEET 😂
I have watched this video 3 times now. I think watching you somehow allows me to live through your experiences. It is so raw, so real, unfiltered, I can see the dread of the unknown slowly wash away, as Aslan is put into the canal and floats on her on. The relief of going into the boat yard, getting water, and returning to the canal. I would out a doubt been at a loss of words also. I follow up and about 3 others on the canals of Great Britain. But you have opened a life that each time I watch, I dream of being a participant. I have gone to the point of looking into a boat here on our rivers. It's pretty close to the same life, just maybe a little more hectic. I also love your travels on your bike. Be safe, and thank you for sharing your life with me.
Came upon your video site recently.
That was one of the nicest
Wonderful classic boat, love the sound of a two cylinder diesel!
Probably as good of a boat as you could ever hope to find. Lovely
I remember watching this volg back in the day Kevin.
Absolutely brilliant, who needs TV when you have wonderful videos like yours; I’m hooked! All the best!
I have followed all your narrowboat vlogs to date. Enjoyed the first one…and each successive installment even more. I particularly appreciate their length and narrative style. The thoughtfully creative work you put into them is evident. While I'm admittedly envious of your newly-launched lifestyle, I'm truly grateful you've chosen to share your wonderful adventure. Thank you!
Brilliant happy for you on your adventure
bloody hell, what a life ! good on you mate ! greetings from the Netherlands
Tunnels aren't the best don't worry, and I think your description of being privileged hits the nail on the head!
Very enjoyable videos. Professional standard production.
Congratulations , great first trip lovely video.

Anchors aweigh! Congrats to you and your beautiful Aslan.
