Vlog 166: The Shopping Forecast
There’s nothing finer than looking around other people’s narrowboats so join me on this quest to find another narrowboat (as mentioned a couple of vlogs ago). Or not, as the case may be.

165. Harry Plotter and the Nicholson’s Guide
The (in)famous hand-drawn canal map returns in this vlog where I contemplate places to go in the narrowboat in 2019.
Vlog 164: Damp Patches
A quick video demo of a new toy I bought for the boat, a temperature / humidity gauge with three wireless remote sensors. Hours of fun!
Vlog 163: Grime Time Viewing
The sun is out and it’s time to sort a few bits of the narrowboat that are looking less than prime, notably the paintwork needs a spruce-up and polish plus one or two tiny rust spots on the roof need attending to.
Vlog 162: Reflections
After three-plus years on my boat, did I choose the right one for me and if not, why not? These are the thoughts I’ve been having on that subject, prompted by an email from a viewer (thanks Chris Begbie!)
Vlog 161: Soap on the Water
After getting frustrated with the cheap little twin-tub washing machine I had aboard the boat from the early days, I ditched it and bought a proper automatic machine.
In this video I explain what I think of it and why it fits the bill.
Vlog 160: They’re Multiplying
In this episode, my mystery Crew member and I continue our winter jaunt along the North Oxford canal from just outside Rugby, through Newbold and up to just past Brinklow.
Vlog 159: I’ve Got Chills…
Drop your jaw and gasp in disbelief as you watch me take the boat out for a cruise in winter. Yes, winter. OK, it’s not snowing but it was December, a time when I’m normally tucked up by the roaring stove with the boat on the mooring.
Vlog 158: New Tubes
Happy new year! Welcome to 2019. If you’re lolling in a chair relaxing after festivities last night, these suggestions of some excellent YouTube channels that you might enjoy could be of interest.
Vlog 156: Market Research
At the beginning of the month (December 2018) I took the train into Birmingham to visit a floating Christmas market – essentially a gathering of trading narrowboats on the canal outside the Arena.
