My Floating Home

Mark Evans meets people who aspire to live in dream aquatic homes. Karen and Tony Ainley are continuous cruisers, spending their time exploring the UK's 4,700 miles of canals and rivers, and have decided to go all in and commission a fully bespoke narrowboat, designed entirely to suit their lifestyle.

Mark Evans follows the exploits and journeys of people who aspire to live in dream aquatic homes. Here he meets retired engineer Tony Boynton and his stepson Graeme Stone, as they tackle the restoration of a 40-year-old narrowboat so that the latter can step away from the daily grind and find somewhere peaceful to call homewith his partner Emily. Bu the project presents all kinds of complications - not least the fact that the boat is moored in Lancashire, 130 miles away from their Scarborough home.
