With the Crick Boat Show just weeks away and so much to do before our new narrowboat is ready… Will she be finished on time? Plus it’s time to fit our canopy covers, our windows and see...
Welcome to Narrowboat Life Unlocked!
We are Paul & Anthony, a magician turned artist and a NHS worker living in the U.K. Some major life-changing events and a chance meeting with a liveaboard boater on the canals got us thinking there is more to life than work and a mortgage.
We decided to quit the norm and move onto a narrowboat with our dog Dexter, so we sold our house and now live aboard our 60′ narrowboat Morning Star, made by the wonderful people at Oakums Narrowboats.
Our brand new boat for 2023 is a hybrid electric propulsion boat with 2kw of solar, lithium batteries and a Vetus Eline motor.
Our aim is to live a more fulfilled and creative life, creating videos, photos and art and enjoying the beautiful canals of this country.
