Winter on the Water

What’s it really like living on a canal boat during winter? In this episode, I share the ups and downs of winter life on the water – the cold, the shorter days, and the isolation that come with it. As someone who’s spent a lot of time navigating through it, I give you a behind-the-scenes look at balancing the tough side of winter with the unexpected rewards.From keeping the fire burning to embracing the quiet of winter moorings, I share the little things that make this season special – like wildlife sightings, the beauty of the landscape, and how the solitude can spark creativity.I also talk about the practical side: staying warm, finding the right spots to moor, and how living this way takes both physical effort and mental resilience.Robbie Cumming's Canal Boat Podcast is produced by Urban Podcasts.
