Barging Free
One Year on a Narrowboat
Ever thought of living on a boat? No mortgage, no rent, no skyrocketing utility bills. Waking every day to the beauty of nature outside your window. Sounds like heaven? Or is it?
Barging Free is the comic, crazy true story of one man’s quest for financial freedom as he and his wife embark on their hilarious, hazardous and sometimes harrowing journey from London landlubbers to full-time narrowboat liveaboards battling fire, ice, water and their own incalculable boating ignorance.

Short excerpt from the book…
And so I know, somewhere in the soles of my feet, and in the lining of my gut, that I'm going to say yes to this call to adventure, and go on this hero's journey.
I may be as crazy as a coot to do so, but I am compelled, even though I've said many times I will never ever live on a boat, I can't stand water, I have a fear of drowning.
So that was that. I'd receive my own call to adventure, and in a way I can honestly say it is at this point that my story begins.
“Alan & Ayesha triumph with verve and spirit. What comes across so well is their optimism, dogged perseverance and humanity. A lovely and evocative read.”
