Welcome to the inland waterways!
Hello! My name’s David Johns. In 2015, I quit my job in local television news, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat, cruising around the canals of England. I documented my time aboard in video and now make films about canal life. On this website I have the complete collection of those videos plus pages of information to help you in your canal journey whether for holiday or living aboard. Welcome along!

- Vlog 360: Kewenay
Having revealed my ‘new’ tiny narrowboat, I have received lots of questions including plenty about what’s going to happen to my fibreglass cabin cruiser, Twiggy. So here I sit down for a chat about it all. - Vlog 359: First Night
I had a chance to take a flying midweek visit up to my tiny narrowboat and spend the first night aboard. This was a great opportunity to bring all the things I’m likely to need and then realise what I’d forgotten! - Vlog 358: Dimensionally Transcendental
It’s just 26 feet long and 7 feet wide but my ‘new’ (built 2001) Sea Otter narrowboat can sleep two adults and two children, has a full galley, plus shower and toilet. See how it’s all packed in, in this video!
