⚓ Continuous Cruising Through Winter | Leaving Marina Life on a Narrowboat

Leaving the safety and comfort of marina life was never going to be easy — but nothing could have prepared us for what followed. In this episode, we take the leap into full-time continuous cruising through a brutal winter, facing challenges that pushed us — and our narrowboat — to the absolute limit. ❄️ Arctic conditions descended on the canal, trapping us in thick ice for two long weeks with no way forward or back. As temperatures plunged, we faced the very real danger of running out of fresh water, forcing us to ration supplies and adapt quickly to survive off-grid in winter. 🚤 With the canals frozen solid, we take on the risk and danger of driving a narrowboat through ice and battling unpredictable conditions. Even simple daily tasks became exhausting, including navigating frozen towpaths just to buy food, often in treacherous, slippery conditions. 🔥 This episode shows the harsh reality of winter continuous cruising — frozen infrastructure, power management, condensation, cold nights, and the mental and physical toll of surviving away from shore power and marina facilities. 💾 And just when we thought things couldn’t get worse… disaster struck. A hard drive failure wiped out vital video footage, threatening to erase weeks of filming and memories from one of the toughest periods of our journey so far. This is narrowboat life unfiltered — the beauty, the hardship, the risks, and the resilience required to keep going when everything feels stacked against you.
