Over a year, that's how long it's taken us to get home on our Narrowboat. Wow what a journey it's been! We set off on our narrowboat travels 13 months ago and after being trapped in Yorkshire we finally make if back to our home town. What a day of travel this is, we leave Johnson Hillock Locks on Narrowboat Morning Star and travel through Adlington and onto Haigh Hall for a beautiful end to the day. We also stop off at the bus cafe, the first time on our own boat.
If you're new to the channel, we are Paul & Anthony and together with our dog Dexter we live full time on a Narrowboat, cruising the UK Canals and finding out what its really like to be Living on a Narrowboat exploring the Nature and scenery on some of the best canals in the UK

What a beautiful mooring point you ended the day in. Many thanks for another fabulous vlog.The shots where the water was reflecting on the side of the boat were absolutely stunning. It was fascinating to see all of the different boats that you passed. Hope you had a lovely time catching up with family and friends. Have a great week. xx

We are slowly moving towards a different Cana for us so looking forward to that. Thank you for the coffee and cake treat too. That was really kind. Enjoy you week and take care ❤️

The love you have for each other, your boat and your surroundings is infectious. Thank you so much for taking me along with you on your canal adventures. The "canal community" is amazing. Everybody helps each other in times of need, forging friendships which will last forever. I doubt that would happen living on land! Welcome back to home waters, even though it's taken over a year to get there. See you next weekend. Love to the three of you. Look after each other. I hope you enjoyed Grenada!

Hi Anthony & Paul, great chatter, lovely scenery & reflections. Those blossoms were lovely. That sunset was beaut. I’ve actually had to work this week and the next couple. Elections and all that. I never commented last video, but did watch it, to tired to think 😊. Paul the convo with Lisa was relaxing to watch. Oh Botany Bay is also where the first fleet came into Australia, near Where Sydney was set up. Of course they bought the name from UK, but just a bit of trivia. Have a good week guys. Love from downunder ❤️❤️

Hi Katelyn glad you enjoyed the vlog, we have visited Sydney and forgotten about the Botany Bay connection. Apparently that area is called Botany Bay as it wasn’t a safe place to be during the busy times of the industrial revolution xx

Hey Katelyn. Glad you enjoyed. The blossom was beautiful. Aww shame you have had such a busy working week. Hope it has quietened down now. Didn’t know that about Botany Bay and considering we passed it almost everyday on the way to work when we were in Yorkshire. Hope you have a fab week. ❤️

Hi Paul, Anthony. Was that Dexter-Dog saying hello at the start of the Vlog. Great cruising and what lovely weather. Lovely scenery. Anthony did 8 miles in 53 minutes, that's amazing, well done Anthony. Paul you were amazing too when you came to the rescue of your friends boat running low on fuel. I like the way Dexter-Dog walks cautiously across the locks on the narrow bridges, then speeds up as he jumps back onto the path. Your coffee and cake looked delish! It was interesting seeing your weed hatch. It seemed lower than I have seen before (in relation to the deck height), although your weed hatch locking plate did look different to other boats? I think you called it an "unsinkable weed hatch"? It must be so frustrating to continually getting debris stuck on the prop? I often wonder why there is not a cage built around the prop, which lets enough water flow thru the cage to give propulsion, but it stops jumpers, ropes, tyres etc from touching and getting wrapped around the prop. It must be nice for you both to be back home in familiar surroundings. Hope you had a lovely holiday too! Have a great week. Take care.
@anthonysmith-storey9247
@anthonysmith-storey9247 2 года назад
Lol. They say never work with animals and children. It really made me laugh when he kept barking over Paul 🤣😂. It was a great bike ride back and the Swytch kit helped with the time it took. Aww Paul did Andy proud helping out. You are right, it is called an unsinkable week hatch. It does surprise people when they see water in it but is is definitely meant to be like that. I think a cage would interfere with the vortex the prop creates to help propel through water (although I may be wrong and do know some boats that do have then 🤷‍♂️). I does seem logical but definitely read there was a reason not to. It is quite frustrating the amount of rubbish in the canals. Really shameful. Lovely being back to familiar canals and nearer to family. Have a great week and take care ❤️
