High and Dry as my narrowboat home comes out of the canal - episode 93
A busy two months of cruising the cut in all weather. I've been slowly making my way off the Macclesfield canal and onto the upper peakforest canal and stopping off, mooring up and enjoying the magnificent views and wildlife.
At furness vale my boat comes out of the water, into drydock, where my narrowboat home hull is blacked for me and I spent time re painting the roof and other parts of the boat.
After my stay in drydock and short stay in the marina, I cast off and cruise upto Bugsworth Basin at the end of the canal. Here, I enjoy not only its history, but it's beautiful nature and wildlife.

Dawn Chorus - Narrowboat inspired by nature #90
Переглядів 10 тис.4 місяці тому
Living on my Narrowboat, I enjoy relaxing moments of peacefulness in nature. Waking up early on a foggy mystical morning, I tune into the beautiful orchestral sound of birds, 'The Dawn Chorus'. I take a walk into the woodland next to the canal as we observe nature close up. The winter plants on my narrowboat have died back, so its time for a little bit of gardening and a bit of cleansing. We ge...

I'm trapped in the frozen canal, and my barge pole becomes an artists pencil, and I doodle about on the frozen canal from the safety of my boat. I get real close up to nature with my feathered friends, and I rescue an injured heron that's been attacked by a goose, which ends up staying overnight on my boat. I get out on the roof to do some star gazing and watch a full moon rising. I take you on...

Living off grid on a narrowboat in winter, I love it! There's the wonderful nature, wildlife, and the snow. How do I keep warm on my small floating home? I have a small wood burner, which is sufficient to keep my boat cosey and warm. Onboard I can get hot shower, but on special occasions I relax in a hot bath of bubbles! It can be very challenging living on a canal boat, but the benefits such a...

One of my favourite moments of the day, is the golden hour, just before the sunsets. As the sun drops lower over the canal, it brings a warm glow of vibrant colour to my surroundings. Sitting on the welldeck of my floating narrowboat home in natures golden hour, I'm back in that place of stillness, in the now and with an empty mind. Nature is beautiful and great at healing if you tune in! Ways ...

    I love watching your vlogs. They are so beautiful and the music you compose is soothing to the soul. I'm especially fascinated with the parts that show you walking down a path and over the bridge. How the heck do you get those shots, front, back and over head. Do you film walking away from the camera, the double back to retrieve the camera and is there a camera that is able to follow you overhear? It's like magic to me because I use a digital Olympus camera to take still pictures and sometimes they don't even come out clear! Thank you for all the serenity. Blessings to you....

    Hello, I somehow just discovered your channel. I follow a few of you as you wined through the canals from here in America. I am in my mid 60's and I guess what really stirred my attention. Was your mention of Pink Floyd. Dark Side of The Moon is more than likely my favorite album, even though I have enjoyed Another Brick in The Wall very much. I am in the Appalachian mountains of East Tennessee, we are a small community, " or was when I was growing up here." We were more mountains then, and I appreciate the feeling of being alone with nature. Each animal, bird, flower, and tree have something to teach us if we would pay attention. I have become a subscriber, and I do hope to watch more content as time will allow.
