This past week has been a rollercoaster of emotions as we’ve had some very bad news about our narrowboat.

But before we check on our boat at the boatyard where it was lifted out of the water, we’re using our time on land to tackle something we’ve been hiding away.

When we started our boat life journey in 2019, we temporarily locked away all of our belongings. It’s about time we put that right!

If you’re new to the channel, hey! This week’s video is a little different as our boat is having some work done. We’re Jack & Gabby and we live on our new 54ft electric narrowboat on the UK canals, which we are slowly doing up to be our fully solar-powered eco floating home.

Do subscribe to our channel to stay updated with our journey. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next time!

Jack and Gabby xx

ABOUT US
We're Jack and Gabby. Since 2019 we've lived an alternative lifestyle travelling the canals of the UK.

Truthfully, we had wanted to find a slower, more simplistic way of life for a while. But, it was a shock redundancy that gave us the final push. We stumbled across boatlife and haven't looked back since.

Living on a narrowboat is not without its challenges. For example, the lifestyle is fully off-grid so we have to manage our resources such as power and water. For us though, boatlife has provided that 'real' life that we were desperately craving.

If you enjoy this video, we'd love for you to see our other vlogs. We have a playlist of each episode in order here:
