being like deep in nature and waking up
to fresh air and and beautiful views
every day is the plus side to to living
on a boat hey y'all today we are in
England and Jen is going to give us a
tour of here self-built boat and that
she has been living already for 2 and a
half years let's have a look this is my
boat ad Shakti this is the front of the
boat and we've got a storage compartment
at the front where I store my log for
winter and just around the side there
there's a little um opening where I fill
the water tank so um we go to the water
point and we attach the hose pipe into
the water tank or we use the bottles to
fill it manually if we run out while
we're mored up how big is the water tank
the water tank is 1,000 lers and it we
use 1,000 liters in 2 weeks we use the
roof um for yoga or for eating outside
or chilling outside this is basically
our our garden and you got the solar
panels yes um four solar panels which is
enough for us because all that we run
really is um the fridge we don't have a
Telly or anything like that so it's
enough the four solar panels and lights
I guess are LED LED lights on a 12vt
circuit how big is the boat the boat is
65 ft long by 12 and2 half foot wide it
we could go 5T longer but no wider
because there's only 3 in either side
when we're in the lock okay so it's one
of the biggest boats on the the Grand
Union Canal yeah and so it's a bit
trickier to to use this lock it's
actually easier because we don't move
the narrow boats they zigzag in the lock
but we don't move too much in in the
lock so yeah it's actually easier apart
from you have to open both the lock
Gates and not just one so this is the
license number uh I'm class as a
continual Cruiser so I don't have a
permanent moing I move every two weeks
and I have to do 32 kmers in One
Direction per year so somebody comes
along on their bike and they write down
the license number and where you are and
