Quite a few narrowboaters document their story on video and post these videos on YouTube. I've been following this fellow David Johns who used to work as a local TV news reporter for ITV in the south east of England, quit his job, sold up and bought a narrowboat called Wreyland then began cruising around the UK canal network.
His channel
Cruising the Cut features life on board, some beautiful scenery and places to visit plus some tips and tricks for people who are interested in cruising on a part or full time basis.
