We love England's beautiful canals (But is our boat life at risk?) | Ep 395
While we enjoy England’s beautiful waterways, we discover our widebeam boat life is at risk.
This week’s episode features some precious boat-life days spent with our family along England’s beautiful canals. And we’ve included some great photography of the atmospheric sunrises.
The Fund Britain’s Waterways campaign, which highlights the potential demise of the great British canal system, stayed opposite us which gave as an opportunity to find out more.
If you want to help please sign the petition that ask “… that the Prime Minister acknowledges the many social, economic and environmental benefits that Britain’s inland waterways provide and gives assurance that the government will intervene, where necessary, to ensure our rivers and canals remain fully open, navigable, safe and accessible for all”.

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
