Canal Boat Life: Surviving 35°C On Our Widebeam

Ep187 - The scorching UK heat finally eases, so it's time to untie the ropes and continue our continuous cruising adventure along the Grand Union Canal aboard our off-grid widebeam, Wide 'n' Seek. Along the way, we stop at Soulbury Three Locks to top up with water, use the facilities, and tackle the three-lock flight as we continue our journey through the beautiful UK inland waterways. We also chat about how we survived an incredible 35°C inside Wide 'n' Seek, the dramatic 29,000-lightning-strike storm that somehow we completely missed, and how even the fish seemed to be struggling during the UK heatwave. After finding a peaceful new countryside mooring, Paul gets stuck into treating the rust on the bow floor as another boat renovation job gets ticked off the ever-growing to-do list. Life on a widebeam canal boat is never short of DIY projects! If you enjoy following the highs and lows of life afloat — from everyday challenges to peaceful cruising along the canals — you’ll love our vlogs. We share our real experiences of living aboard, first on a narrowboat and now on a widebeam, along with canal cruising adventures and the little surprises that come with this unique lifestyle. If renovations are more your thing, you can also check out our dedicated playlist documenting the refit of “Assumption Is”, our former 68ft narrowboat home.
