One Day More Aboard

We sold up and bought a narrowboat! 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 with our westies, exploring 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!

Hop aboard and join us for a glimpse into our daily liveaboard narrowboat life as we travel the UK!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated to our 100 mile walk in October for Breast Cancer Now!

Over 10 miles walked (including work steps) and £547 raised in the first 2 days! The original target has been smashed already, so we are now ambitiously aiming for £1,000 ✨

Poppy and I are walking 100 miles this October to raise money for Breast Cancer Now 🐾💗

I’m doing it for my mum, my auntie and far too many friends who have been affected by breast cancer.

We’d be so grateful for your donation. Every little bit helps. 💕

I was looking through old photos for our latest video and this stack of westies made me laugh. Pete’s very productive coworkers in his home office in Texas.

The latest video will be available this evening. It’s taken a lot of editing time to pull this together, but it it’s a glimpse of what’s been going on in our lives in the last year and the changes we have had to make, and why we’ve been so behind with our videos. It will also answer some of the questions we’ve been getting. Have you given up cruising? Are you in a marina for good? Are you selling your boat? Are you giving up vlogging 😳

5 YEARS! 🥳

We can’t quite believe it’s been 5 years since we started this life aboard Narrowboat One Day More! And what a wonderful adventure it’s been. We’ve travelled all over the UK, visiting places we never even knew existed, we’ve made so many fabulous friends, and we have amazing viewers from all over the world on the YouTube channel we never even planned! You really never know quite where life is going to take you, but this narrowboat life has worked out just beautifully.

Poppy and I are holding down the fort on the boat, and the celebrations are on hold for a couple of weeks, as Pete is currently on board a much bigger ship in the Mediterranean with our son Alex, using some of the free family days that he gets with his Viking Vocalist contract! It’s my turn next month! 🥳🛳️

No better way to spend an afternoon than with great friends that lift you up! We can’t take the boat anywhere right now, but we can still drive to see boaty friends Fran and Rich and Archie Floating Our Boat for a wonderful Indian feast, with home grown ingredients from their allotment 🍅🧅🌶️

We reminisced about our first meeting in real life exactly 5 years ago, the week before our boat launched. They were moored not far from Debdale Wharf, where we did our helmsman course, and it all worked out perfectly to meet for dinner, after exchanging messages and video calling from Texas. And the rest, as they say, is history. Our prediction that ‘we could be friends with them’ whilst binge watching their YouTube channel came true in the best possible way ❤️
