It’s the longest day of the year this week! We’ve been living aboard our wide beam canal boat for five months now. While Jamie’s still waiting for autumn, for Liz nothing beats a British summer; you feel it everywhere, in the light, in the trees, in the birdsong, and in the wildlife. When asked what...
While hunkered down on the canal in the rain, we take a look back at a few of our moments aboard our sailboat and compare it to life now. There are similarities, not least the weather (yep, even on a canal boat we have to be mindful of the winds), but what about planning? Do you even need to think a...
Ever sped past a quiet town like Thorne on the motorway, oblivious to the incredible secrets it holds? We uncover layers of forgotten history, from a crucial boat-building legacy just yards from our Staniland Marina mooring, to the remains of a medieval motte and bailey castle and a 900-year-old chu...
One of the last places you'll find genuine freedom in the UK is off-grid mooring on the canals and rivers. And if you choose a secluded spot like the winding hole on the Keadby and Stainforth canal, you can escape the rat-race and slow down to immerse yourself in nature.
With huge thanks to V...
This is a truly incredible floating hotel could easily be my next tiny home. Only a quick dinghy right to the beach. And located just outside Le Marin Martinique in a beautiful bay in front of Sainte-Anne. This place is paradise with the crystal clear Caribbean water below and gorgeous beaches aroun...
In this weekly vlog of Barefoot Sail and Dive we experienced a large barge being brought into the outer harbour of Luperon. There was talk that boats may have to move in case it lost control when being brought in which was more than a little stressful!
We have some exciting news about our upcoming ...

This week we manage to put our engine in the boat with the help of Charlie. We talk a lot about Stuffing Boxes and tell you why we decided to have a traditional box.
Sand, sand and sanding we finally get the pilot house built and ready for the glass.
It has been a l...

This week we get down into the engine room to start fitting it out.
Shelves are made and the generator is flown into place. We then turn our attention to the Pilot House and all the sanding of the windows that has to be completed.
A lot of work ahead of us ...

We spend the next few days planning the layout and we start work on the engine room and the bow locker.
Difficult times ahead off us but we are very excited with this new stage of our lives.

We finally get to collect Ocean Fox 2 from the farm by Bath. However this does not go according to plan when the truck driver left the site. Unbelievable, he came and left just like that. Grumpy as anything with no reason!
Simon called him 10 times to pers...

We finally make a decision on which boat to buy!
We are very happy to show you which barge we chose to buy. It is going to be a brand new boat, nothing better than that right? Well, at least we hope so!
We will be refitting the boat in this very small ma...

We arrive in Belgium and we go to see the first barge in our boat hunt. We realised for the first time, how big this project is and how much money it is going to take to complete.

Norfolk, VA is an commercial area packed with big barges and large ships. A lot of them are commercial and a bunch are military as well. We just tucked off to the side of the channel and tried our best to stay out of the way of these behemoths. We finally made it out into the wide open Chesapeake ba...

After our recovery from the mighty Thames, we left Limehouse Basin and headed on to the Regent's Canal, a 9 mile waterway winding through the heart of King's Cross. Then we turned onto the Hertford Union Canal or Puckett's Canal, a mile of ca...

After Australia Day we were iced in again then found some great pubs. We even found a 10/10 beer and a 10/10 pub. We had a great look around Oxford. We left the canal network and had the most terrifying trip down the Thames. Scary... Enjoy
