The family has experienced a lot of things on their travels, but she said: “We’ve never been transported on a road, so it will be an experience.”
She thanked staff at Whitchurch marina for their help and said the team was dealing with “quite a list of people who want to try and get off”.
Five boats were ready to go now, she said, but it would cost her family £2,240 per boat, even with a discount arranged by the marina.
Their insurance will not cover the move, because, as she put it: “We have a choice, we can stay here.”
The family said they were “not comfortable” with the idea of an online fundraising appeal to cover the costs, but they have invited their YouTube followers to make small donations.
