Farewell Narrowboat Experience (from Kath and Annamarie)
Farewell from Kath and Annamarie from the Narrowboat Experience.
It's bittersweet!
When we stopped filming to take care of personal matters we never envisioned 'stopping' for good.
But things change don't they?
We wanted to make this short talk to you, just to say goodbye, and thank you.

Let's get real- winter cruising on the narrowboat IS HARD! (Gloucester and Sharpness canal 2021)
Переглядів 107 тис.3 роки тому
It just started out like any other cruising day in winter- a bit cold but optimistic. Then the ice rain came and some fishermen decided to hurl insults and in one case throw a rock at us! We never like to sugar coat living on a narrowboat, because we get so many emails from people who are planning to sell everything to embark on this life style, so we do feel a responsibility to tell you exactl...

THIS IS WHY we couldn't take the narrowboat on the River Severn (feat. the Severn Bore)

    I hope you are both doing well. I still watch your old videos regularly. I do enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your travels on Lazy Days with us. I use your coffee cup every day and often think about you both. I have my pin badges too, and just wanted to say you made a difference for me and many of us who watched you. In fact, I know you did. I hope you know that and keep that in your hearts now. Your watercolors are beautiful, Anna, and to Kath I would like to say how much I admire your steady and gentle demeanor. In all situations on the canals, you are so competent, and I admired that about you. I hope all your dreams come true, and that a narrowboat in the future won't be left out of your lives. Lives change, I know, but memories don't. I just wanted to write and say I miss seeing you both on UA-cam.

    Well done ladies- I’ve watched many other videos re installing solar panels, particularly on a sloping roof! Yours is clear filming and the commentary showed me for the first time that you used adjustable feet to compensate for the sloping roof which was brilliant for me. Thank you. Your commentary is slow, considered clear and very useful. Well done and thank you

  • @marionscott

    Kath, you must allow AnnaMarie to buy another book because 12 years is far too long, it must be updated 😉 Also did you get yourself a filter, it would be good to see you do an engine service 😉👍 What did both you ladies do for work before you went into narrowboating? Why did you move your bed with the slow close storage drawers to its position you have it now cos we thought it looked great as you had it before. It must be a nightmare to change the bedclothes now lol also climbing over the bed to escape should the need arise! Marion and Glenn xXx

    We knew the previous owners of the sunken boat. They were gutted having lived on it for something like 20 years without any mishap. They sold up, the new owners went out with the water in flood and that was it. End of a lovely old boat. Still there and unrecoverable. What a waste.

    Crazy how I’m just seeing this. I watched your channel 2 years ago and I just came looking for it again. I’m from America and it interested me to see your canals and the narrowboats, before finding your channel I had never seen this type of boat or way of traversal. I enjoyed learning about the life and the way the locks operate using water. I haven’t watched for a couple of years but I just remembered you guys a little bit ago and came looking again. It’s sad to see you go
