Narrowboat TOUR: a Walk-through of Our TINY Home | Ep. 1
We are Marina and Myles. In January 2019 we bought a 62-foot narrowboat in Great Haywood, brought it down to London and became official liveaboards a couple of months later. We didn’t know what we were doing at first, but after the first winter aboard we felt like we graduated as boaters. In this episode we show you the full tour of our narrowboat.
Thank you for watching our first ever vlog, we hope you enjoyed it.

Top tip living on a canal boat is not classed as living off grid
from Vancouver Canada. What an adventure you two are having. I told my wife that if we were 50 years younger, I'd want to live on a narrow boat cruising the British canals. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
You've created a really cute, comfortable home on your boat.

Elspeth Awake thank you so much!
That is probably the best narrowboat layout I’ve seen, windows letting light in at all the right places, spacious, cute bath, really great vibe about it. You must be so chuffed. 🙏🏻🥰 Will be taking a look at your other videos and subscribe. Blessings and harmony on your adventures x

What a beautiful space! I've watched many other narrowboat tours, and I must say, this is my favorite of all! The space is so well laid out, and it's full of character, but evokes a really peaceful feeling as well :) Looking forward to your next episode!

That was a great video. Thanks for sharing it. Keep on the good work.
I've watched a few boat tours and think your layout is by far the best.
Cozy Home ! I Love your colors you chose. Many Thanks 🥰👍!
I enjoyed this and look forward to more vlogs
Good luck to you both. Stay safe!
A nice video accompanied by some lovely weather Enjoy your adventure
Its so awesome this boat guys.have a super times there.
Enjoyed the tour of the boat. Enjoy your life aboard your boat. Good luck guys xx
Wow I just love all the space you have inside. Enjoyed the vlog 😊😊
Beautiful boat. Great layout. Love the seating on the 'top deck'. I'm still searching for my first, hoping after the world calms down a bit..stay safe peeps
I’ve been watching and enjoying your “cruising Alba vlogs” for some time now, but today I accidentally or by chance came across your 1st video!! Can see how you’ve progressed.
GOOD LUCK YOU TWO ON GETTING THE BOAT AND THE WAY YOU HAVE DONE IT UP. And your new life. And also joining a large family of boaters. Just check out all the others like I do. I don't own one myself but would have loved to...Keep Safe. 😷.
Subscribed. I love it when KZread throws a new channel at me that I like. Both of you have lovely, calming voices that are great to listen to.

Hey, how cool! A vintage second-millenium washing machine that still works! And a proper bath! And a good-sized bedroom! And the little seat on the 'upper deck'. This is not typical narrowboat living in any way.
What an honest and comprehensive tour.
Looks fabulous loads of room. Thanks for sending the link.

Wow I love your floating home so much! You have more worktop space in your kitchen than I have in my flat.
ha! this was a boat I looked at when I was shopping, and then saw it again at Knowle Hall Wharf getting some work... I thought it looked familiar, and then when you said Alba, well... small world! :-)

Hi Guys, Very interesting visit thank you, it looks like home and thats very important. my kids have now grown and left the nest. I live in New Zealand and my lady friend lives in Essex. we are now looking for our own boat and hitting the cut before this year is out... (I hope) John in NZ and Ruth in the uk. Kaiora mai..
Really lovely decor and I love the way you have laid it out. One of the nicest narrow-boats I've seen. It's such a shame about the theft of your plants.
WoW! Surprised at the size of your bed. Guess if you didn’t want a walk through boat then the queen size bed is definitely the way to go! Thanks for sharing! Hugs from Texas, USA

This is lovely, I would live in it in a heartbeat, very homely and comfortable and some good ideas, but I would need a long curtain in the bathroom entrance, maybe a cheap shower curtain, a longer one, which will be good for moisture as they dry in seconds, well done on this
