Creator's Key Takeaways

I was shocked at the size of this. So, toilet and shower. And just for a moment, look at the size of this shower.

I didn't expect it to be this level of luxury.

The hardest thing for anyone who's never done it before is even if you get a slightly shorter boat than this, they are still quite long.

Wales is beautiful. Breham Beacons.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep windows closed when boats pass to avoid water coming in.
✓Don't leave a hot plate on as per safety instructions.
✓Ensure curtains are closed at night for privacy.
✓Be mindful of narrow bridges and avoid over-steering.
✓Check water levels regularly as there's no dial to indicate remaining water.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Difficulty steering the canal boat. — Practice with the bow thruster and avoid over-steering; it's a skill that improves with experience.
Navigating narrow bridges and avoiding collisions. — Take it slow, use the bow thruster, and judge distances carefully; bridges often have protrusions making them tighter than they appear.
Managing boat systems and learning how everything works. — Allow time to figure out systems; it can be overwhelming but becomes manageable with practice.
