What’s It Really Like Living on a Narrowboat? Our Day in a (Boat)Life

A quick thank you to Wild who have partnered with us for this video 🌿 You can tap this link: https://bit.ly/THISTINYLIFE20 and use the code THISTINYLIFE20 for 20% off your order. We’ve both been using their deodorant for a couple of years now and genuinely love it — so we’re really pleased to be working with them this week. Welcome back to life aboard our little floating home. This week we thought we’d bring you along for a gentle weekend day on the boat — nothing fancy, just the usual mix of little jobs, simple food, and a slow cruise along the canal. This is how weekends often pan out for us: nothing too dramatic, just the gentle rhythms of boat life. We started the day with a quick wander along the towpath to gather a few blackberries for breakfast, before setting off on a gentle cruise. Our water tank was completely dry, so we needed to pootle along to the next water point to top up. As usual, the scenery on this stretch was absolutely stunning — being on a narrowboat is such a lovely way to take it all in. Although, true to form, the English weather kept us on our toes all day! Anyway, we hope you enjoy this week’s video — just a gentle, ordinary day on board our floating home. If you’re new here, hi! We’re Jack and Gabby, and we live aboard our narrowboat Artichoke with our dog Tilly and toddler Joe. These films are our way of sharing the gentle rhythms of boat life — seasonal food, slow adventures, and the little joys of living simply.
