Cruising The Cut - He's on Netflix and YouTube. Very English and very nice.
This is a day in the life of a narrowboater who's self isolating having come back from overseas. There's not a lot to do so it mostly involves eating, drinking tea and watching the telly.

Sailing Fair Isle at anchor living the dream... How many of us would rather be in their spot? Me for one! My marina is very nice and everything but nothing beats being on the hook. That is why water makers and solar panels are essential for weeks at anchor.

The lockdown in Spain is extended with increased measures as we continue life at sea anchored in the Mar Menor. We begin to realise we are here for the long haul. This is our new home and we must embrace it. When the weather is good we can go paddle boarding and even sailing. When it is bad we are confined below decks. Water, as ever, is an issue. We have no water maker. We negotiate filling up at a nearby marina while some other marinas are completely closed. There’s no sign yet of an end to the international crisis caused by COVID-19.

Sorry, can someone explain? Is 'polishing the SS' a euphemism for something else. I just ask because my SS never needs polishing.

So this is not a sailing show but is included because there is a Tilman connection! This is Nate Murphey's adventure show.... He's like a dirt bag climbing and living in a van but has just bought a place in Basque. His videos on how to convert a van to live in are very good.

Emerald Steel talking sense on the East Coast US.

Of all the lockdown boats on YouTube this boat seem to be the only one still living the dream at anchor wandering around deserted Islands.
