Hi Guys
Welcome to our latest episode in our ADVENTURES in our TINY FLOATING HOME.
In this episode Michael and Jac finally make it back to the tranquility of the canal, the Trent & Mersey Canal to precise. Our LIVEABOARD LIFESTYLE suits the UK WATERWAYS canals as we find what could be the perfect mooring in the village of SHARDLOW. On the way there we have a hairy moment as we cruise through on our LIVEABOARD NARROWBOAT the junction of the River Trent and the River Derwent and get caught in an under current where the rivers meet. It’s a good job Jac had got the coffee on as that helped to steady her nerves.
We also take you on a little historical tour in Shardlow and talk about the history of this part of UK INLAND WATERWAYS.
We hope you enjoy a look at our ADVENTURING LIFESTYLE xx
Season 2 | Episode 63
We are Jackie & Michael and we travel the British waterways network on our 57ft narrowboat Border Reiver. Join us each week for our latest adventures as we explore the UK.
We hope you enjoy our videos. Please remember to subscribe, you will be notified when we release each new video. We love reading all your comments so please do leaves us a comment, we answer each one.
Thanks for watching xx

@hanneallankuzyk8319 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoy your videos.. You seem to be a very happy couple..your vlogs bring me a sense of peace and joy.. My late husband Allan and I realized our dreams of live aboard life for 6 years from 2000- 2006. I live in Victoria BC and we had a Californian 55. Built by Carver Yachts.. They were fabulous years and culminated our boating adventures which extended from 1979 in our 32 ft Woody Grand Banks with our two children to our final boat..called Ten Plus.. our live-aboard.

Hi love the comment thanks so much for taking the time to drop us one, we so appreciate it. Sorry for your loss but it sounds like you really lived life to the full, which is so important. What a wonderful adventure you had. Hope you enjoy the rest of our video's. Next week we have family onboard.

If you go to episode 46 we take you through the inside of BORDER REIVER, we hope you can watch that one and that you enjoy seeing inside our tiny floating home. We published a new video each Sunday at 5pm GMT. J&M x

@desmondsouthwell3529 11 месяцев назад

Can't help saying what a lovely couple you are. So down to earth and no showiness at all. It's really a joy to watch every one of your episodes, which you make so interesting. I spent a total of seven weeks on the Llangollen and the Lancs canals, many years ago and enjoyed every minute of it. Can't do it now, as I live in Ireland and at 87, I don't do much travelling now, except driving around the West of the country in my car. But I love watching your travels. So relaxing. Thank you very much. Continue with your good life. Best wishes. Des.😊

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Hi Desmond, thank you for your very kind comment. It's just us being us and showing you a little of our waterways adventures. When we are old and grey we'll enjoy watching them back ha ha. Sounds like you have had some lovely relaxing journeys too. Thank you, keep watching we have family on board next week J&M x

Thanks for a very entertaining vlog. The purple boat that you moored next to in Shardlow is a hire boat. We hired it three years ago and fell in love with the canals. Six months later we bought a boat. No regrets!

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Wow that's great to know and we are so pleased to hear you have purchased a narrowboat on the back of your hire in Shardlow. Happy cruising, we might bump into you someday. x

@user-ed4rx1sx3q 11 месяцев назад

Dear Jacki ad Michael. We found you by mistake and are really glad we did-we have really enjoyed binge watching 62 episodes and are sad we have now caught up! Your videos are so entertaining, informative and very relaxing. We have a cruiser (No 26) on the Lancaster Canal at Bridge House Marina, Garstang. Lovely moorings and facilities and lovely family business. Your mooring under the willow tree is a fabulous spot and how lovely to hear the guitarist entertaining you. We'll hopefully meeting you if you come on the Lancaster Canal-we'll look out for you. In the meantime please carrying on enjoying cruising and drinking your coffee!!! David and Hilary

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Hi David and Hilary 🥰 so proud you found us, even if by accident 😆. You must get a prize 🏆 for watch all 62…. We won’t ask which one you thought was best 🤔. Border Reiver came from nr Lancaster, it’s a small world isn’t it. Your canal sounds lovely, perfect. If we get your way we’ll call in for a cheeky coffee. 💕💕💕

@spudwynk1 11 месяцев назад

We do dereent mouth quite a lot being moored at sawley. We haven't had the nose taken at derwent mouth but our engine / propeller doesn't like it and we always seem to feel like we're losing power as we go across into the T&M. As new boat owners the first time we thought the engine was giving up and we might need to deploy rhe anchor. I agree it can be scary especially when the river levels are up a bit We've seen those cygnets recently and they all have survived. Pretty big now .. and hungry

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Hi there great information about your experiences on that section of the network, other boaters have told us the same. I think in summer it wouldn't be too much of a problem, we did it after heavy rain.We hope you get out and about and enjoy the network. Great update on the swans J&M

@devon6482 11 месяцев назад

This made my day so much better seeing the beauty of this area, the trees, the Swans, every thing I can't see being housebound. Thank you for all the information you give us too I am learning from every episode, many thanks to you both !

G'day Jackie & Michael. We have just come across your channel and really enjoyed the video. We have subscribed and will have to go back and watch from the beginning. We are watching you from New Zealand. We did hire a boat many years ago on a trip back to the UK in the winter for 4 days and we really enjoyed the experience even though it was very cold. Debbie & Patrick

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Shardlow is so lovely!❤❤ oh gosh, I wish I could sell my place in BC Canada and buy a narrow boat and live in GB. I love the rain ☔️ I am a genuine pluviophile and would be totally at home in GB. Too bad I don’t have anybody who would do it with me. 😢 I love your vlogs. ❤❤

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Lovely to hear from you and so pleased you are enjoying our little waterways adventures all the way from BC. We have family there and know how beautiful it is. You can never say never, one day you might. Great to know you love our little adventures. x

@katherinekelly5380 11 месяцев назад

It’s amazing how the addition of a little technology really helps - walkie talkies are a great addition. Solar powered led light added to the middle of the boat, that turns on automatically when in a tunnel and really illuminates each side of the tunnel seems to make it much more straight forward to see where the boat is positioned in the tunnel and avoid bumping the side - as a viewer it is interesting to really see how the tunnel is constructed.

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Hi Katherine yes the walkie talkies were the perfect solution to our cruising 'shouting' at each other to be heard from the towpath. We couldn't be with out them now..

@billabongoneill 11 месяцев назад

Brought back fond memories of my time spent aboard my narrowboat tug Wotan in Shardlow did the entire navigable length from Shardlow to Preston brook back in the late 1980s to mid 1990s. Had a mooring in Shardlow for several years. brilliantly produced video thank you.

@presspound7358 11 месяцев назад

What a grand summer day this ended up being. Thanks for the nice bit of canal/river junction history. Indeed it was peaceful. Indeed a nice little shot of ___ doesn’t hurt at all. Pleasant to learn that you have a son and that he’s visiting. All good as they say. That guy singing on his Narrowboat…. he had a real decent voice. That was impressive. The canals can be surprisingly adventuresome…but hey ! …. I needn’t tell the two of you.😂 Thanks again for taking us along. This videography business is time consuming but I want you to know that “I get it” Nice solemn ceremony in France BTW. Au plaisir de vous revoir. Canada’s Eastern Seaboard 🇨🇦 (Since the early 1720s for my family) Cheers 🥂

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Yes agree with all your comments, it was the perfect spot to moor and a real treat with the music. Yes the video editing is very challenging some weeks and time consuming... sometimes you don't realise you've missed recording a part of the story which was important and have to do a voice over to explain. All part of being actor, camera man/women, editor, director and producer at the same time. It's a good job there was two of us... Ha ha. So pleased you enjoyed the commemoration of the liberation in France. Merci beaucoup. xx

@katherinekelly5380 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful scenery! Love the willow trees ! So do narrow boats have grey tanks for shower and sink water or is that ok to drain into the canals? Actually, nobody in a narrow boat mentions emptying a grey tanks so I suspect the canal are your grey tanks, so to speak Really enjoying your channel ❣️

@cruisingontheborder 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Katherine for taking the time to drop us a comment, we so appreciate it. The willow tree was incredible. Fortunately Michael hung onto the camera as he came into moor!!! In terms of emptying into the canal our grey water, it is permitting by the CRT. A lot of boaters use enviro friendly products, as we do, so there is minimal damage. Thanks for letting us know you love our channel, we try to bring just the right mix of us, waterways, history and our travels to the screen. J&M x
