It was time for a little holiday - a few days away on our DIY project narrowboat (Its not by any means finished, but we have enough of it done to use it!)...
We were having a LOVELY time, then IT struck - yes we came down with a BUG... Well not us - the boat did, or to be more specific the diesel did. YES WE HAD CAUGHT DIESEL BUG....
Diesel bug is a chemical reaction from diesel and water mixing - so that meant we were trying to get the engine to run on WATER - NOT DIESEL!
So holiday time turned into 'work' time as we (and a few helpers) had to set to and fix it so we could get home.... Let's see what happened...
Here's a bit about us and our boats...
In August 2019 we bought narrowboat - a 1980s Springer that's 36ft long and had previously been sunk twice prior to us purchasing it! It's engine was rather poorly so we took it out and fitted a DIY self build Electric Drive system - which we recorded and made vlogs about (available to view on RU-vid).
Move forward a year from buying that boat and we were loving life on the water so much we wanted a bigger boat so we could move aboard full time.
So we bought 'Lyanda Lady' a 50ft boat that needed a LOT of work. This series is following us stripping the boat right back to a basic shell. It will then be time to completely re build the boat before moving aboard.
Just to add to the fun I'm a Tight Yorkshireman, and we are working with a small budget - hence Boating On A Budget!
Come along and join us on what promises to be a epic adventure!
