Narrowboat TOUR | Inside our 50ft TINY home!
Here's the full walk-through of our 50ft narrowboat, 6 months into living on it full time continuously cruising off-grid. We've made plenty of adjustments since our original tour back in June 2021, and figured out a lot more about what each part of the boat is for.
Enjoy this in-depth look into our floating home, and if you enjoyed, consider subscribing to join our adventures! 🛥️

Something you can do, is sewing custom made window shades, that are thermal and sew in magnets and just put them on the windows when you need them
What a great video tour, with an index jump list in the description! You both have excellent camera performance, steady pace, articulate but natural voices, still not a second was wasted in explaining the essentials of your floating home. All my best wishes for you in 2022!

You are just charming! Enjoy your time and work together!
i really lliked your tour. it was more down to earth than a lot of others i,ve looked at. seemed more practical and doable. i appreciate your sharing. thank you so very much. p.s. i am from alberta, canada, live in the north near peace river, so no chance of living on a long boat but it is so interesting to see how it is done. and i feel jealous that you have such freedom in your gypsy-type life on water.

Wonderful intro for me to boat life. Very interesting! Question..have you ever felt unsafe?
Just wondering whether your 'slight bilge leak' might just be a case of refreshing and pushing through the grease reservoir that feeds the stern gland around the prop shaft, or perhaps the packing in the gland needs replacing. Just a thought Great videos, keep 'em coming. Inspiring me as I'm getting close to making my own purchase...

Hello! I love your boat tour, such a lovely home you’ve made. I was wondering how it worked keeping the front doors to the cratch cover always open? Do you feel safe enough and how have you found the winter? I’m on a 23ft boat (tiny!) and much prefer when the front doors are open but I feel a bit exposed xx
@BoatTime
2 жыл бұрын
Hey Emma! Thank you so much! 🤗 We have found the winter just fine and have been able to keep the boat warm and toasty even with the doors open 95% of the time! The temperature in there stays really mild in the cratch and we have blocked up the side water flow holes to stop the draught. In terms of safety, we generally feel really safe with them open as we use things like curtains to block so nobody can see in, and it allows us to be able to hear whats happening around the boat more. We have stood on the tow path at multiple angles and you cant actually see into the bedroom from the path so that really helps. If we are in a more built up area or not too sure about the area we do bring doops inside and shut them however, but most of the time we feel safe enough to leave them open! And obviously we shut and lock them when we leave the boat unattended :) hope this helps! x
Love the changes from the 1st tour. I noticed you don’t have the small shelf/cabinet you got at Christmas did you find it took up to much room.? I can see you have to be very careful with choosing items so not to take away space. I could be very happy living there also. Not sure if you said what is the length of the boat? I remember you working on taking the name off awhile back I would imagine it’s a pain in the rear doing that. Will you be changing the name some day? Thanks again for sharing with us. Do you think you would ever want a wide beam years from now? I can understand why folks love them just hate you can’t go everywhere on them. Thanks again, Susan
@BoatTime
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Susan! This tour was filmed a little while ago, just before we got the little cabinet, but we do still have it 😊 It's still sideways though... a little odd but much better than our former 'pile of many things' 😂 We've got a 50ft boat, with a cruiser stern, so we have a bit more space outside in exchange for a little less inside - but it's a worthwhile sacrifice for us given that we're both out there together, often with Rupey and Rufus! It's really hard to get the old names off. It was easier in the summer when the sun would warm up the side of the boat, but it's much more stubborn in the cold. Looks like another job for the spring/summer jobs list! 😅 We've been thinking of changing the name at some point, but not sure when. Perhaps if we were to repaint it it'd be a good time then, but we're in no rush 😊 We would consider a wide beam; perhaps if we still wanted to live on a boat but we'd travelled the majority of the network and wanted to settle down somewhere. Like you say, they're great but a bit more restrictive travel-wise. Thanks for the comment! ♥
Enjoined the vlog. PLEASE Move the kitchen roll above the gas hob !!!!!. Looks nice but not a great idea. Xxx
