Is our NARROWBOAT home SINKING? | EP 009

Is our #narrowboat is sinking?

It all gets a little emotional in this week's episode. Josh has a HEART TO HEART on camera, we discover WATER coming up INTO the boat, we test out our on-board washing machine and try our hardest to keep optimistic after a CHALLENGING few weeks..

If you enjoyed the videos and would like to support our channel and keep us floating along, you can buy us both a coffee here:

Enjoy!

We are 2 years in, and I’d love to say the jobs list gets shorter, but it doesn’t! But over time you will gain the ability to be at ease with it and just laugh things off more! And **that** does make it easier! 😊
BoatLife has a steep learning curve, and it hits you like a tonne of bricks! But keep at it. Summer is just around the corner 😊☀️

Drop us a message if you need anything, always happy to help!

I've dumped my entire watertank into my bilges, not been able to use my washing machine without the generator and even had to fix that after dropping it in the cut. But these experiences have just made me realise how much I can do. I love my boating life, don't let these experiences get you down

You guys are so patient with everything that's happening, I truly admire that.

I've moved to a much colder climate 2 winters ago. The first winter I was cold 🥶 most of the time. Then all of my pipes froze up. The pipe connecting to the sewer got plugged & I had to call someone twice to clean it out. The second attempt worked. The toilet worked on & off for a few months. I had to haul water for dishes, cooking, cleaning & drinking! No water for showers. I had no washer or dryer. This winter I figured out how to keep most of the pipes from freezing, my toilet is in full working order. I have a working washer & dryer & I've made leaps & bounds in staying warm. Bottom line, I think there's an adjustment period. So, by next winter, I think you'll both be masters at narrow boat living! Hugs to you both for all your patience & progress xoxo

I have sobbed through most of EP 9.
....and then you saw a magnificent Heron... and drank a pre blended smoothie on a romantic picnic.

I just love the bit where you skip to you both sitting in the launderette laughing... what a totally rubbish day, but honestly the way you pull it back is just great..
Still sending good vibes your way.. truly hope you have a good week 😊👍

[kayablocksage]

Loved this one! had the whole family cracking up laughing in the funny bits. And we had to keep pausing and rewatching to explain all the dramatic moments to the littler family members who wanted to understand EVERY SINGLE DETAIL!

I felt really sorry for you both when the boat leaking, but really pleased when you got it sorted.
The new sofa looks great, what a lovely colour.
Hope you both have a great week.

Hey guys, you have done so well so far. ALWAYS remember that you never own your home; your home owns you.

[TheBrowns-]

13:40 amazing how you both just slowed down and talked to one another… really special and exactly what me and my partner do when things get on top 🙏🏻

[davidlane]

Chin up girl you two will get it sorted I have every faith!

[henriettahenson]

Lord I don't know how you are coping with all of this... I pray for you too be able to sort everything out and continue living your dream as my dear DAD always used to say "" THERE'S BOUND TO BE SNAGS "" YOU JUST GOT TO KEEP BUGGERING ON""😂❤️🙏❤️🤗

[wendymills]

I was gritting my teeth and keeping my fingers crossed for the two of you during this episode. So glad that it doesn’t seem to be canal water coming into the boat! Love the positivity of you both and the scenery and wildlife from your narrowboat is so lovely to watch 😊❤

[clovettajackson]

Keep hanging in there. Things will get better and easier. I've watched many narrow boat YouTubers. You aren't the first to have glitches, and you won't be the last. Stay positive. It will be worth it! All the best from Missouri.

[karenandstevencornish]

Been watching from your 1st episode and how I wish Australia had these canals…. What a life 🥰😊Fingers crossed next week’s episode is a lot smoother for you both ❤️🇦🇺

[marinakaplais]

That cut to you both in the launderette was comedy gold! Brilliant editing. Sorry for the stress and sending all the love for you both. Really loving coming along with you.See you next week xx

[jaybug]

I just love how supportive you both are to each other anytime one of you gets a bit down about things as what you said is so true, when you are trying to live off grid more you have to slow down, somethings just take more time to get done. Give yourself grace that everything will not be easy and that’s ok to feel tired of it. Always love your videos. ~Jen

[neresq]

You two are just so wonderful together: loving and supportive of one another. Also, can we please recognize Josh's adorable George Michael impression? It was all that!

[AndyDawsonPMM]

Keep going guys! I live on a boat and absolutely love it. X
