Vlog 314: Tangerine Dream
I was delighted to be invited to spend a day aboard a wonderfully quirky canal and river cruiser boat by Samantha Rigley whose adventures I follow on Instagram. Join us, in this video!
Vlog 236: Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun To Be With
An alternative to the tradition steel narrowboat, fibreglass (GRP) cruisers are long-established on British canals and rivers. Often cheaper to buy, both new and used, but with drawbacks such as a more fragile construction and less suitability for living aboard, especially in winter, they are a popular choice particularly on rivers. In this video, I speak to a chap who bought a Viking 26 and absolutely loves it.

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 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 7: Paint Shop Boys
