Leaving Tewksbury on our Narrowboat and heading through the Avon lock onto the River Severn, we hope to find a mooring at Upton upon Severn, but with the promise of sausage rolls and catching up with friends we decide to try and make it to Worcester. With power running low and time running out we stop to help a stranded narrowboat and risk getting grounded ourselves.
Paul & Anthony together with Dexter live full time, but manage to work part-time, on a Narrowboat, cruising the UK Canals and finding out what it’s really like to be Living on a boat exploring the Nature and scenery on some of the best canals and rivers in the UK onboard an Oakums Narrowboat called Morning Star. Our brand brand new narrowboat from Oakums Narrowboats is embracing the latest technology including lithium, solar, and electric propulsion, the boat will be coal and gas free. We can’t wait to share our new adventures with you.

According to Channel 5 we are a Yorkshire couple living on a Narrowboat. We are happy to be adopted by Yorkshire as we love it there. Can we work part time and live full time from a Narrowboat? Why not follow our journey.

What a dramatic journey! Well done on your rescue mission x
Exiting ,fellows ,👍
Greetings from Tucson Arizona. Love your escapes. Lovely to see the beautiful green countryside. It's very different here but just as lovely. I especially like your videos because you all are always so pleasant and positive no matter the situation. Keep the adventures coming. 😻
Wow you two know how to have great adventures, great viewing though!!! Poor Dexter must have been crossing his legs bless. Have a great week 😊
Perth Western Australia. 🙃🙂
Well that was a bit of a heart stopper, not a great day, I thought you’d hit that abandoned boat for a while there. I guess you have to have days like those to make you really appreciate the good days. We moved into our new house last week and finally have internet, I can now be sure I don’t miss any of your adventures. Sending love to the three of you, stay safe. 💕
Watching from Indonesia. My word, that is a beautiful river. Liz ❤
PS. Don't forget to update us on the fuel consumption, it sounded interesting. 🔌⛽
Brilliant Vlog!! Well done you two for helping out fellow boaters. What an eventful day for you three. Thank goodness it was a glorious day. Sending love 🥰❤
I always thought narrow boat cruising was supposed to be relaxing 🙂
Lovely of you to stop and help when you were having troubles of your own. The narrowboating community does seem to look after each other; that’s quite rare these days. You’re very lucky. Best wishes from Hong Kong!
Fun video, as usual! ❤
Drama! No Sausage Rolls! Desperate Dexter! and our heroes wearing the same T shirts! …I think I need to lie down (and have a sausage roll!). 😀😀😀
Love the matching shirts boys! 👚 👚
Oh, the tension, well done Anthony, a great rescue. We watch from Scotland but keep our boat in the Midlands maybe we'll pass you one day.
27:28 watching from Louisville, KY- home of the Kentucky Derby! 🐎
Well done guys, as you said you hope that some other good soul will help you out if you have a moment of need. It can be a worry making sure you don't get into difficulty yourself when helping others. You were very aware of the possible dangers and managed to free the other boat without getting too stuck yourselves, Well done!
We love your boat, went on it at Crick, at the time we hadn't come across you.
I'm a little concerned about the amount of fuel you've used in about 3 months, June – August (based on late evening light), a lot more than your previous boat, particularly as you have a lot of solar and it was the summer season. I notice that you probably have an induction hob and therefore possibly no gas, I also know that you have a diesel reflex heater. Could the difference be down to the fact that you don't have gas or coal/logs and are having to use diesel more for that. I know you have had battery charging issues but I wouldn't have thought a few tweaks to the charging algorithms would make a lot of difference.
Best wishes to you both and Dexter, hope to meet you some day.

You two and Narrowboat pirate are the only watchable videos on here, no moaning no click bait titles, the others need to take note. Anyway we’re glad your loving the boat again. That episode had us on the edge of our seat 😂we know that beached feeling, we ran aground on the weedy curly wurlies this year( stuck for hours)Well you have been obviously soooo busy but I can’t find that new bike you have( tried all spellings) could you link please. Again great videos, we’re cc’ing so really hope to bump into you or Heidi.
Blimey! What a day… well done Anthony you did well controlling the boat. I’m in Dorset, no canels down here 😢
Hi guys watching you from Sydney Australia have you done any night driving before?
Never a dull moment with you guys.
Dramarama! Beautiful day for it though 🙂 Poor Dexter, I bet he had all 4 legs crossed by the end. I hope you found something to eat! Since you asked us, I Live in South Australia 🙂 hugs
What a lovely day for messing about on the river or rescuing people, glad Dexter got to go wee wee was getting worried ❤
Bravo to you both: quite a rescue mission! 👏👏👏
What a cracking video, and well done on the rescue. No wonder you were exhausted and bless Dexter he did so well. We're watching from the beautiful mountain village of Casares, Andalusia, Spain. If you get a chance, have a quick peak on the tube.
Wow you sure have had some experiences in this new boat of your 😮. I might contact you as, have some questions ❤ such a good Vlog as always guys thank you, big cuddle for Dexter ❤❤❤
Hi guys, wow, what a incredible journey youse had this time rescuing boats and the worst of all no sausage rolls for dinner , keep up the good work. Love your videos , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
It’s an exciting and a beautiful video. You both did a wonderful thing to help others in need. Now you both deserve a drink!!!thank you for sharing 💙💙
Greetings from Sweden.
Well done for rescuing that other boat. Such a kind thing to do, especially when it could have put you into danger. I love Tweskbury we go there when we can. Love your channel guys.
Good on ya for helping those guys .
Tethys recently did a comparison & it seemed like they use more diesel than a standard narrow boat
I love that the Lock Keeper’s dog has his own little chair for lounging and watching the narrow boats go through the lock ! It’s so great being able to take your dog to work !
Love how light and bright the inside of Morning Star is due to the sky lights and also really enjoy seeing the reflections of clouds, bridge and trees in the skylights as well !
Oh my, glad you all are alright! Just the mention of sausage rolls made me hungry lol! Have a great time ❤❤
I dunno – if you hadn’t done a walk around Tewksbury, you’d have been kicking yourself for not doing so while you had the chance – or at least that’s what I would have done! We are harder on ourselves than we would ever be to a stranger – it’s not often that I can lie in, but when I can, I take full advantage, nothing better! Also a big fan of naps, but I digress
since I’m 🇨🇦, I originally wrote ‘Toquesbury’ and thought ‘No that can’t be right!’ 🤣😄For those not familiar, Toques are winter hats in Canada but pronounced the same
Fun times, guys😊💚
We were chuckling about your new crew outfits🤪did you accidentally put the same stuff on? Or were you doing the yachty thing where they have the same kit? Well done for rescuing those boaters, I hope they have you a bottle for saving them! Heart in mouth moments when you got spun round! You could really see how strong the current was, but well done Anthony , you handled that like a seasoned pro. Calm when you are doing it , time for panic when you have done. A great vlog ☮️
Pure joy. Rescuing the boat, on a river, is beyond next level boat handling. Well done. I once spun a grp boat 180 degrees going into a lock with an aggressive bywash. My mates incorrectly assumed it was intentional. You may have assumed that heading the wrong way, after the rescue, was a mistake. It wasn't. 🙂 You were merely working with the flow of the river in regaining full control of your boat. Fighting the river would have been 'difficult'. Take care.
This vlog had me on the end of my seat. So much suspense. And such a beautiful day, too. Hope you’re all well. 🙌😘🐶
Evening guys,
Quite a journey along the River Severn with a few hiccups along the way. Luckily, all turned out well.
Did you get a drink at the end?
Can you not fix the horn on a clamp that is attached like one used on an inspection lamp. Therefore, no holes need to be drilled.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of the weekend. x
