My Floating Home

A couple who put their life savings on the line to make their dream of living on water come true

Alan and Val McCoy put their life savings on the line to make their dream of living on water come true, entrusting a boat builder to make them their dream narrow boat floating home. The couple have been together for 11 years and now that they're retired, they've decided that owning a narrow boat could be a unique way to be near their families - all of whom live along the canal system across the Midlands and north-west England
