Daily Life Aboard A Canal Boat (cruising Great Britain)
Our first narrowboating adventure continues and today, we’re going to become lock masters (or so we think). This isn’t our first time to navigate a canal or locks (hello Panama Canal). But we never operated the locks and when cruising on a narrowboat, it’s practically a part of daily life. And as in most cases, I let Jason be guinea pig.
Grab a beverage and settle in for a stunning day of cruising the cut, floating in locks and boating uphill.
Want More Narrowboating?
If you missed last weeks video and our time with the Canal King, AKA, David Johns, AKA Cruising The Cut…then you missed a lot. David has an entire channel dedicated to all things associated with cruising the canals of Great Britain. And he couldn’t resist the opportunity to make a video about us, a couple of American sailors having a go at narrowboating.

HIRE YOUR OWN NARROWBOAT
ABC Boat Hire was David’s recommendation and he was spot on. They agreed to host us and the whole experience was smooth as butter. They have locations all over Britain so you can pick up at one marina and drop off at another, make a loop or whatever your heart desires. Aside from food, the boat had everything we needed for the trip including training on how to operate these long narrowboats.
No previous boating experience needed! So this is truly an adventure for anyone and by the end of this series, I bet it will be on your bucket list too (if it wasn’t already).
🙏 WE COULDN’T MAKE THESE VIDS WITHOUT YOU!
