Cute Couple Cruise the Oxford Canal - Our Narrowboat Life

The second part of our incredible narrowboat journey up the Oxford canal to determine if we can retire on the Cut! Wendy and Laurence start to get in the groove as they battle a heat wave and busy canals. We even meet some of our favorite KZreadrs Gabby and Jack from ‪@thistinylife‬
We talk about other youtubers who also continue to inspire us (in alphabetical order as not to show favoritism):

    We return and have even more questions! Even if you don't know any of the answers, we would love your thoughts and feedback about everything, narrowboats, canals and the video itself. We would love the comments and KZread's algorithm wouldn't mind it either 😐

    Wonderful hearing from you! Thank you for watching the video and subscribing!!!! We spend so much time with you on KZread, how could we not mention you :) We would definitely like to stay in touch and look forward to an opportunity of spending time with you on the cut!

    Just found you two, and the title of this video is accurate - you two are sooo cute! Love your interactions with each other! The editing of your videos is top-notch, I love it: you have a new subscriber. And that Narrowboat Chef couple who clued you onto the windlass harness must be smart cookies...! 🤣😉

    Thank you for the kind words and watching!! We're happy for your change in life but do miss your narrowboat adventures! And yes, the windless harness is genius, changed our NB world! We owe you two a drink when we get over there permanently:)

    If you haven't found out yet, life-jackets and also a anchor are needed but only on tidal locations on rivers. However it is advisable to have them to hand, as you can get out of your depth quick even on rivers that have any kind of flow and check if it is safe. Always look and check at where your going to travel and be aware of what will or maybe could present itself, always expect the unexpected. Have fun

    Thanks for this answer! How do you know if a river is considered tidal? We were going on and off the River Cherwell from the Oxford canal and there didn't appear to be any signs saying whether it was, nor did we see anyone with lifejackets:)

    My friends regularly go up to Stoke on Trent and Holiday on the Narrowboats. It's not something I've tried yet but this video is pulling me towards it. Hope you had a great holiday on the River.

    You have an open invitation to join us when we retire there. Maybe we can get Gary and Sturge to come along as well! Wouldn't that be a trip!
