One Day More Aboard
United Kingdom
Приєднався 27 вер 2021
After living in Texas for 10 years, we sold almost everything and moved back home to England to live on a narrowboat and cruise the canals of the UK, and explore so much of our country that we have never seen before. We followed the build of our brand new narrowboat virtually with the amazing guys at Russell Narrowboats, and only got to see her for the first time 2 weeks before we launched in September 2021! We took a leap of faith and it's working out beautifully!

The Good, The Bad And The Downright Bizarre Of This NARROWBOAT LIFE Ep 65
Oh my, your. vIdeo brought back memories.We bought our new boat from Staffordshire and cruised via the canals to Northamptonshire.We spent a week at Braunston getting a few repairs done by the boat yard. This was nearly 40 years ago…we had lots of adventures on the way.Nothing like the canal traffic nowadays. We only sold our last boat 3 years ago after mostly cruising the rivers and middle level waterways.Much quieter.
Hi Pete and Caroline. Great video. You featured the Barley Mow at Newbold Tunnel. We did the Warwickshire Ring starting at Napton last October 2023. We stopped at the Barley Mow - great pub. Good luck. Howard and Sue
Hi guys. Rick and Sue from SW Florida, US. We love All of your videos and watch regularly. I think you could make great cinematography even better by improving your audio, live and over dubs. River Trent audio barely audible over engine noise. On other videos Caroline’s audio very high pitched lacking a warm normal sounding voice. We love you guys and often wish we were onboard. Cheers from Florida 😅
Thanks Rick and Sue, good to hear that you're enjoying the videos! Hopefully you will have noticed that our audio has improved somewhat over the 2 years we have been vlogging. This video was in the more early days. It's been a very steep learning curve, and being only amateurs without expensive professional equipment it's the audio that is the hardest thing to manage, especially with the slightest bit of wind and engine noise. We have recently bought lapel microphones and trying to get to grips with using them, and have an external microphone with a wind muff for my phone, but when I am on and off the boat and around locks its hard to keep the microphone on and slip my phone into my pocket when I need to. There's no perfect solution really without investing in expensive equipment, that may soften the sound of my natural voice, but like I said, we are just amateurs using an iPhone to film our travels 😊
Heading to Newark at the start of September. Thanks for a great video, so helpful when planning a trip 👍
You're so welcome Steve! Hope you have a wonderful trip. We loved Newark, especially sitting in the market square enjoying breakfast and people watching! 😊
Hello- yesterday i took my first sort of ‘narrowboat’ ride….we loaded on the Falkirk Wheel… headed up to the next lock, turned around and down again… hope that’s not all i ever get to do!
What a wonderful experience Ruth! We have only seen videos of the Falkirk Wheel, and wish that the Scottish and English canals network were connected so we could make that trip easily. My first (and only narrowboat experience before buying one!) trip was at Stoke Bruerne on the Grand Union Canal, on the trip boat Charlie, that took you up to the mouth of Blisworth Tunnel and back again! 😊
We hired boats from Clifton Cruisers in 1986 and 1992, our 2nd and 7th cruises; nice to see they are still in business. And on Sept. 24, 1986, we moored almost exactly where you did at Barley Mow and Bridge 50! Enjoying your videos.
Lovely to hear you're enjoying the videos! We always love you sharing the details of your travels on the same stretches so long ago, with your meticulous journalling! We both lived in Rugby at different times before we met each other, and there is a roundabout with a Clifton Cruisers narrowboat in the middle of it to advertise the company, and we never thought that one day we would be living that life, after passing that roundabout so many times! 😊
I agree completely with Roger . Your videos have the right mix of the two of you and the boat and scenery. Thankyou.
That's so lovely to hear Brian, and always good to have confirmation that people are enjoying the format of the videos we are putting out. We tried to think about what we enjoy watching and include those elements 😊
Hi, like the little lambs.
Very cute aren’t they! Thanks for watching 😊
0:46 0 the miserable limeys. where do you piss right into the river
Lovely countryside. Lovely canal. Looks like the canal trust needs to come along and clean up along the canal.
Glad you enjoyed it Maria. Yes, there are quite a few areas that need some more looking after for sure, but it’s such a huge job with limited resources 😞
Love watching your videos
That’s so lovely to hear Roberta! Thank you 😊
Wow the birds in your video were singing their little hearts out. Ewwwwwww yes the towpath can be wet, flooded and soggy, especially when had a lot of rain , all good this week plenty of ☀️☀️☀️☀️🌞🌞🌞 sun. I found the material for your pressies, I brought some bounding wool at Hobbycraft this morning. On the last bit now. Take care ❤ X X X 💋's to Hamish and Poppy X X X I have binded the top and around the corner, I have the beginning of a blister so will stop for a bit X
They were so loud weren’t they Susan! The rain has been so crazy this year, it’s been so muddy but we are thankful for the sun and dry spells now, that have made some towpaths so much more user friendly, especially for Hamish who hates the mud! Looking forward to our surprise! 😊
Put a link to a product we get here in New Zealand that stops mould and moss forming .Don't know if you have this kind of product over there.Enjoy your videos on you tube.
Thanks Russell! I’ll have a look. Good to hear you’re enjoying the videos from the other side of the world 😊
Love the poem! never heard that before 🥰 really makes you think how impressive the locks are and how much history is in them. Really well put together and read 😊
Thanks guys! The full poem helps it all make sense doesn’t it. And we need to have Alex do our voiceovers every week. Far more pleasant than listening to me 😂
Thanks for taking a lovely shot of our boat NB Narrow Escape.. loved being on that stretch of canal, so peaceful and quiet. Xx
Thanks for getting in touch Vicki and identifying your lovely boat with the perfect name! You’re right, it’s such a beautiful spot! 😊
I bet your helpers must cycle a few miles a day, when they are helping people out.
We said exactly the same Jennifer! They really have a perfect routine sorted out and are such a big help 😊
THEM BIRDS SOUND JUST GREAT
Don’t they! I have an app on my phone called Merlin that identifies bird calls and bird song which is fab! 😊
Your videos are wonderful. So many canal vloggers spend most of their video time with the camera pointed at them while they talk. Viewers don't get to see much of the canal (except as a rear view behind the talkers). Thanks for doing your commentary as voiceovers and letting us enjoy the forward views of the canal!
So good to hear you’re enjoying them Roger! I try and film and edit them as I would enjoy watching, and you’re right, one of the key things is being able to see the scenery and where you’re going. Thanks for watching 😊
HELLO BOTH GOOD TO SEE YA ON HERE
Hello to you too! Thanks for watching 😊
I've seen the carved writing in other vlogs but no one explained it as well as you did. I thought maybe they were random but instead they are altogether a poem. Alex read it beautifully. When anyone gets near Rugby I always hope they make it to Rugby Boats. I watch their sale videos sometimes and I love seeing Bumble! He's a great representative for the operation. ❤
Hi Dorothy! I was so happy to find that poem with a good explanation of how the Locklines came to be. I told Alex we should be using his voiceover services more often as he has a much better soothing tone than me! Rugby Boats is not actually in Rugby, which surprised me when we finally passed it. It’s in Nether Heyford on the Grand Union Canal and I do have some footage of us passing it somewhere. Sadly Bumble was nowhere to be seen. He’s the star of the show for us! We binge watched the boat tours on Rugby Boats when we were planning this new life 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard I look at the short boat tours and day dream. Bumble is a great helper on the tours. I assumed it was right in Rugby! ❤
Do you keep a journal of your travels?
I did start a journal when we were first onboard, with details of how far we had traveled, where we moored, when we filled up etc. but let it lapse very quickly. Really our vlogs have become our journal and it’s lovely to look back on. Thanks for watching 😊
lovely Vvlog guys so nice and peaceful and the music was beautiful.....yeah tell Alex his reading was awesome./..have dobe this many years ago.. can't believe hubby says we did it 30 years ago.....OMG.............. I feel old all of a sudden.......I said 1992...... well close too..... I so want to do this again.... go travel to the uk for at least a year or two... get a narrowboat live on one for a year.... meet all the people I watch on utube...... maybe one day..... I just still feel inside when I was travelling around europe in my 20/30's.... lol....thanks guys for your lovely Vvlogs love watching you, can't wait for when you are with fran and Rich one of the first couples I started watching on utube many years ago, along with Well deck dairies.. Mark and Deborah..
Thanks so much Lyn! Fran and Rich were one of the first channels we watched too when we were planning this new life aboard, and it's wonderful that we are such good friends with them now. We watched Debbie and Mark too, but haven't met them in real life yet on our travels. I know what you mean when you start counting how many years ago something was, and find it was actually 30-40 years ago! We can highly recommend you trying the narrowboat experience once again! 😊
Great Vvogs guys.... yes looks cold.... Hey Caroline looks like your wearing one of Frans scrafs..... I know cos I have one simular....... lol looks awesome....
Yes Lyn, your eagle eye spotted one of Fran's Constanze Creations lovely scarfs! I am lucky enough to have received another one for my birthday last month, with the aqua colours of our boat woven in with greens and yellows. Now I just need some cooler weather to wear it! Always good to hear you are enjoying the videos 😊
What a beautiful cruise and the doglets soooooo cute. Bless them. Made my morning. Thank u so much. ❤
That’s so lovely to hear Trevor. It’s always good to know you’re enjoying the videos 😊
You can just see the hand of the skeleton, (9.22)
You’re right Jennifer, and I still can’t believe that we missed it even all the time I spent editing. Our viewers are far more eagle eyed than we are 😂
Watching from HTX! 🇺🇸🤠
Hey Kelli!! Good to hear from you on here! How are you doing in those 100s? We don’t miss that at all 🥵
My first acquaintance with the UK canal system was while studying Modern History for the Higher School Certificate (Sydney, Australia). One of the topics was the reasons for UK becoming the first industrialised nation in the world - the canal system, of course! We are “boaties”, sailing and cruising on Sydney Harbour, but I enjoy watching you cruising the canal system. Next time we are in the UK we might hire a narrow boat and try our luck! Keep boating! 🇦🇺
That's interesting that you learnt about the British industrial revolution in your history lessons in Australia Carolyn! It was actually one of my favourite periods to study, and I look back and think how on earth am I now living on these historic waterways that we learnt so much about, and were such a key part of British history. You really should hire a narrowboat and see what a wonderful slow paced life it is. I'm not sure if you watch Fran and Rich on UA-cam channel Floating Our Boat, but they had a wonderful experience welcoming round the world solo sailor Dee Caffari on board their narrowboat for a couple of days to experience the slower pace. Take a look at the video here, it's just fabulous! ua-cam.com/video/3TL8EKWihU8/v-deo.htmlsi=VyG-tEW1SVzXXv1d 😊
Another great vlog. I am sure when you past the wharf, it sounded like you said boots and not boats. Listened to it 3 times, I must of miss heard,unless it was your accent .
Thanks so much Jennifer! It does sound like boots doesn't it. That's my finny Northampton accent for you! 😊
It seems like you have a lovely boating community. I suppose you will keep coming across the same people some of which will now be friends.
You have hit the nail on the head Jill, and we often stay it's what we love the most, and was most surprising about this new life! You make friends, and end up sharing drinks on the towpath or a local pub with people you have sometimes only just moored up with, and have so many connections that it cements the relationship. You may be close to each other geographically for a few days, weeks or sometimes even months, especially over winter, and then part and go your separate ways, and not be close again for two years! It's wonderful when you are not even sure where friends actually are and then you come across them quite by surprise, or see a Facebook post that they are near by, so you can just up and move! 😊
Loved the vlog as always. I bet everybody counted your strides. I certainly did. I agree with the earlier comment about your outro song. I love it. Keep safe and well.
I was counting myself again, just to double check when I was editing the video Nigel! I love that we get so many lovely comments about our outro music. It's sort of become our theme tune and I can't imagine taking it away now, or removing the footage with Jasper, when we had 3 westies 😊
So sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Dad. It’s so difficult when you lose a parent. 🥲🇦🇺
It’s so hard and we miss him everyday but he had a wonderful long life ❤️
As ever your vlog (dogs) bring a smile to the dial - Nice readiing from Alex... Thanks Pete and Caroline..
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff! We need to have Alex do the voiceover every week. He’s far more calming than me 😂😊
Very tranquil ride
That’s the perfect description! Thanks for watching 😊
Love the poem
Us too Deborah! I was so glad I found it. It made sense of it all 😊
Hi guys. Can I ask what the song is that you end your flog with, I really like it. Keep up the great vlogs. They are really good.
Thanks for your kind words Nick, they mean a lot! The song at the end is Time On Our Side by Ten Towers. Here’s the full version on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/0MqqeXvnk78/v-deo.htmlsi=21nNPSnHkYVRaZ20 😊
Going by the video, you guys had a great day, plus the weather was on your side. Beautiful scenery Its videos like this, makes me really think about going to england and renting a narrow boat for 2 weeks. Im going to have to do alot of research first. Thanks for a great video.
We can highly recommend it John! Watch as many narrowboat vlogs as you can and you will catch the bug. We see many many overseas visitors on our travels 😊
Another fabulous video to watch whilst eating my weeties - geez that’s a LOT of muddy towpaths and maybe a chain saw might be a good bit of kit to have, cheers Swanny
Glad you enjoyed it Swanny! A chain saw has been talked about many times to add to the tool supply on board!
The cut looks full ...
We have had so much more rain than usual this year so levels have been higher. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Caroline, I have a Q for you: In German we have two handy words for slow and fast motion (as when you speeded up the footage of you opening the sluices at a lock) "Zeitlupe" (slow-) and "Zeitraffer" (fast-, as here), but "fast motion" doesn't sound right to me. What do you call it? Plus at 16:25 when you passed Russell & Helen - Poppy barks a polite "Hello" over to Helen, that dog is such an utter delight.
Hello Eckhart, Zeitraffer = time lapse (when filming)
@@gabrielecox365 Thanks!
Hello! Another thought provoking question or comment from you, thank you, we love them! My first thought was the phrase you are looking for is 'sped up'. That's what I say in my head at those points in the video, and I speed them up so they don't drag on and make the video way too long. Anyway, Professor Google tells me that in cinematography, the opposite of slow motion is indeed fast motion! So you were right! I actually studied German at school for 4 years, yet the only phrases that seem to be stuck in my head are 'Welche Farbe sind die Vorhänge?' and 'Wann beginnt die Vorstellung?'. Not that helpful really! Poppy is definitely a social butterfly, especially when she sees people she recognises! We call her our greeter on the boat, as she sits up the back welcoming everyone as they pass! 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard That made me LOL! The first question sounds theatrical - the answer would generally be "damask red", the second question is definitely theatrical, and it's usually 7.30pm, or 19.30, as we say here. Your school clearly had theatrical ambitions!
Obviously! Very useful if I ever get to Germany!
Can you explain how having a car works?
That’s something I have wondered about too.😊
I have been tinkling that we should do a stand alone video explaining travelling with a car and a boat as it's a question we are often asked, and one that we wondered about when planning this new life aboard. Often, we move the boat and then go back and collect the car, either walking (if it's not too far) by bike (we have a folding bike on the boat) or by bus or train. Sometimes, if we have looked ahead and found close by parking, we will move the car ahead, but only if we know almost exactly where we will be mooring, as that's sometimes a bit of an uncertainty. The easiest way is when we have visitors and they offer to take us back to our car. We always take them up own that offer. Also, it is much easier when you are travelling with friends who also have a vehicle. I'm not sure if you were watching us when we spent a few months traveling with Paul and Anthony from UA-cam channel Narrowboat Life Unlocked, but we would drive each other back and ahead to move one of the vehicles. Still a lot of planning, but much easier. We use google maps to zoom in on areas close to the canal and can see where there are lay-bys, often by canal bridges, to park the car. It's a little harder when we are moving through towns and cities, but we find cheap pay and display car parks. It's an incovenience, but it's worth it for the convenience, and it's still a necessity for us having easy access to a car for Pete's job and to get to family easily wherever we are. Hope this helps!
Hello! See my answer to Rangergoal for a little explanation 😊
Do you know where and how the football got its points. I imagine it was after it got picked up and carried. My husband was dotty about Rugby but never told me any story about pointed ends. He spent hours and hours watching it.
From my research, the first rugby balls were made of an inflated pig's bladder, encased in leather, so took on the shape of that, which was more of a plum shape. The shape has gradually flattened and elongated over the years as it has evolved, as it is an easier shape to run with. I learnt something new today too, thank you! 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard Thank you……it seems obvious now!
Beautiful scenery!!
It really is Ann! We have a new appreciation for the British countryside since we moved back from Texas. Thanks for watching 😊
That was some beautiful scenery! Even in the summer it's still green where you're at. I laughed when Poppy fell in the water. She probably smelled like wet dog for awhile! Finally cooling down to the 80's in over a month! Now we need rain.
It really was Joyce! You’re welcome to some of our rain. We’ve had way too much this year already! We used to long for the days when the temperatures would fall to the 80s when we were in Texas! Yes, you’re right about Poppy smelling of wet dog with a bit of canal water fragrance thrown in for good luck! Thankfully she’s not one to fall in very often! 😊
Great video on channel keep up the great video thanks lee
Glad you enjoyed it Lee 😊
You passed a boat ‘ohm from home’ was it a hire boat ? Because we passed one (looked a bit like yours…. New ) at the weekend with the same name ! Or do boats have replica names ? Loved the video x
Lots of boat have the same name, but they also have a registration number. The most popular name of canal boats is “Kingfisher”.
Thanks Gail, glad you enjoyed it! Not sure if it was a hire boat or privately owned. It was on its way to the Electricka boat show as we saw it there too. And John is right, boats can have the same names, but all have different registration numbers. Kingfisher is the most popular name, but from our search, we are the only One Day More! 😊
How charming and poetic that someone took the time to carve those lock gates! Alex read them beautifully. I'm in Southern California and currently experiencing temperatures around 100˚-110˚F so I can't believe Pete is wearing layers of cold weather gear in August! And the muddy paths suggest the need for Wellies as well. That makes me wonder how much and how many types of clothing you have to keep in limited onboard storage facilities. Do you store seasonal things on shore somehow? How many changes of daily wear do you keep onboard? Do you have to go on shore for laundering? There must be a lot of planning required. Seems narrow boating has a variety of ways to make your life a judicious and thoughtful one. Good to know Poppy enjoys narrowboat videos as much as I do. ; >
Hi Rainey! Ugh those are the sort of temperatures we don't miss from from our time in Texas, when everyone was wishing for a few days of high 80s at least! This was actually filmed in May, and it has warmed up a little since then, and the tow paths have dried out a little. We've had so much more rain than usual this year, and its been far colder for much longer, but summer seems to have arrived finally! We have storage totes under the bed, where we rotate our seasonal clothes, and we keep our bulky winter coats under the seat of the dinette. It's surprising how much storage we have on board really, and we make the most of it! We have a small 4KG washing machine on board, and a drying rack to hang things to dry, but when we need to do bulky items like bedding and towels we find a launderette/washateria. I do take advantage of taking over laundry to use my mum's washing machine when I visit though! You're right, there is quite a bit of planning involved, only washing when we know we are heading to a water point to fill up, but it's all part of this wonderful adventure! 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard You share your lives so generously and it's wonderful to be able to have these vicarious experiences. Thanks for including us! I only hope we add something for you.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I like it when you have a black and white shot. Reminds me of the day of my high school photo club. We only shot b/w due to the cost of film and development. These days it's nothing to just use color - would love to go back in time with a digital camera. (lol) Weather here, cool in the 70's to maybe 80. Had a huge front come though. A tornado just about 10 miles north of us. No damage but love it when the phone gives you a screaming alerts to one. Had been about 93F before the front came though. Hope the family / puppies and you are doing well. Take care - Spinner
You’re so welcome Spinner! Oh those screaming weather warnings from your phone we remember only too well from our time in Texas! We had a tornado come through our yard taking a neighbour’s trampoline with it but thankfully only minimal damage. Wouldn’t it be just wonderful to take a digital camera back in time and capture so many more images 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard Yes taking one back would be so much fun. Take a couple hundred pictures and let them look at them on the camera's screen. LOL Plus auto focus and such. They would be shocked !! But I had fond memories working in the dark room etc. Sadly that school was torn down 10 years ago. A school where my dad , aunts and uncles all went to high school. It and 5 of them are all gone now. Brand new public library in it's place. Take care - God Bless.
Happy memories for sure Spinner! At least it was a public library built in its place and not a strip mall of nail bars and mattress stores! 😊
Yet another cracking vlog guy's, stay safe 🙏.
Thanks so much Billy! Always love your words of encouragement 😊
❤
Thanks for watching Carrie 😊
Lovely vlog, a tad wet though, but loved the B&W pics, they take you back to the olden days of those working boats all around the canals. I welled up when Alex was reading that poem, so beautifully read! He should do audio books. Hope the crew got a few extra treats after those watery adventures❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it Eric! Black and whites of the old working boats really do take you back to that bygone era. Alex definitely has a far more soothing voice suited for voiceovers than either Pete or myself. He was happy to record the poem for me, and we said we should have him as guest voice over person every week 😂
@@onedaymoreaboard yes yes yes! That would be too good! ❤️💎❤️
We were talking to him the other day about doing a Q&A to celebrate our 3 years aboard in September, and having him on board as the guest question master! 😊
@@onedaymoreaboard bring it on, baby! 😎💎🏆
