2020 led us to boat life! We bought a narrowboat to live on board and change our lifestyle. We'll be moored up for a while in a marina while adjusting to life on water but hope to do some trips along the UK canals and document our adventures.
We're from South Africa and often miss all our family and friends. We were drawn to being YouTubers to share our lives with people far away and to feel connected, especially in such isolated times. We are always excited to get in touch and chat to this community we are building so please keep dropping us comments, that what this channel is here for - connection.
Along the way we hope to show you our new lifestyle, our DIY successes and failures (although holding thumbs we don't have too many of those) and mostly go on some adventures! So tune in as we make this boat our own and adapt to life on water!

Helloooooo! We’re back tonight, 5:30 🇬🇧
Our first video of 2022. Explanations on where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to! It’s been a while - too long really and we’ve missed you so so much! Thanks for still being here, and we’ll see you in the comments later!

Boat Life with Mel and Paul
Hello! You may have noticed there was no video upload this week.. bummer, we know. This is us figuring out exactly what to do.. Turns out our new lifestyle living in two locations and working filming around that is pretty tough - we thought we'd motor on through but alas - our plans aren't exactly coming together.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on the last video, and while it was well received, we want to bring you exciting, interesting videos about our projects and lifestyle surrounding that. Currently there's a lot of boring 'real-life' stuff going on, and while that's fun to watch once or twice we don't want to get repetitive. We also want to focus on each other as our relationship is the glue that holds this thing together. Navigating this strange time we are adapting to and figuring out how we can factor our love of making videos in is just going to require some more time and creativity.. and so as soon as we are able to tackle our next project we'll be back. So sit tight, a massive thank you for your support over the last year and a bit - we love you guys, more than you know.

Hello! Felt the need to just drop in and say we changed up the the channel name.. you know, sometimes we think folks aren’t sure if we’re a boat channel or not so we thought we’d make it obvious.. TBH these days Annabelle is hiding under this here tent so maybe that’s why😂.. watch our latest upload and find out what’s been going on! 🧐😧😑✌🏻 #boatlife #narrowboats #narrowboatdiy
