Vlog 29: Internet Explorer
A question that I’ve had a lot lately is “how do you get the Internet on board a narrowboat in the middle of a canal?” So in this video I explain how I do it for both local WiFi and 3G or 4G access when cruising.
Vlog 28: Route Canal
Several people have asked me where I plan to take the narrowboat over the summer and several possibilities have occurred to me. In this video, I describe why I abandoned one plan and have settled (mostly) on another.
Vlog 27: Pump Up The Volume
This was going to be an entirely different Vlog but I have a problem with my water pump going off randomly – usually the sign of a leak somewhere in the pipework. But where?
Vlog 26: Dinette Is Served
Just a few weeks after putting in the order for new dinette cushions for my canal boat, they have arrived! No doubt to immense anticipation, in this video I described why I didn’tlike the old ones and show off the replacements.
Vlog 25: Changing Rooms
Could this be the end of my watery adventures..? There’s only one way to find out and that’s by watching this episode when Things Are Changing. How very teasing of me.
Vlog 24: Haul Aboard!
I’ve been shopping. At least, my fingers have shopped online and this video is the haul of stuff I ordered namely things to make me gas safe, gunk, a shower thingummyjig and a map.
Vlog 23: Multiple Choice
I take a walk around the marina and point out some different types of narrowboat styles and features for the benefit of viewers either in other countries which don’t have narrowboats, or those in this country who might be looking to buy.
Vlog 22: Grate Expectations
After a viewer request I hereby present a (rather long, sorry) video of how I set and light the Villager Puffin stove on my canal boat. I do two examples, one of lighting it from cold and the other of rekindling it from dying embers.
Vlog 21: The Gas Man Cometh
A nasty discovery one day when I went to turn the gas bottle off as I left the boat, finding it leaking ever so slightly which it must have been doing since I installed it three months earlier.
Vlog 20: Dirty Laundry
How on earth do you keep your clothes all clean and lovely whilst on board a narrowboat cruising round the canals? In this video, I explain the options.
