We Left It All Behind: How the Canals Brought Us Home 🍃 Casting Off PODCAST 063
After 20 years of chasing wind, running from storms, crossing borders and stopping for repairs, we finally let go of life at sea. In this honest conversation, we discuss what it means to start over in the UK and how life on the canals in our widebeam boat helped us reconnect with peace, purpose, and ourselves.
Whether you’re dreaming of a simpler life, curious about canal living, or need a calm moment, this episode is for you.
00:00 Intro
01:26 Adjusting to a new lifestyle on the canals
20:14 Hobbies and rituals that keep us grounded
33:06 Can you moor up anywhere?
37:10 Our new logo
44:53 The weather…cos we’re British!

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
