► FAQ
Q• Why are you uploading cruising videos and renovation videos at the same time.
A• As of October 2021 we have finished our journey to visit every waterway on the connected system but we still have a back lock of videos to edit. For this reason we are uploading a cruising video each week till we finish the journey. In November 2021 we started a project to renovate our Narrowboat and as there was a lot of interest in is filming this we decided to alternate the renovations with the old cruising videos. We also aim to get one renovation video up each week until the cruising videos are finished.
Q• Why do you speed up some of the footage in your videos?
A• We don't, we film it as time-lapse footage. We do not have the battery capacity or data storage to film in real time as our cruises can last up to 7 or 8 hours. We use to the time-lapse footage to help tell the story of movement rather than showcase the scenery. We limit the amount of time-lapse shots we use in each vlog.
Q• Why are your video's so behind?
A• We would love to release all our video's in the same week that we film them but that isn't possible for us. Jo only really has the capacity to edit two video's per week and as we make a video for each cruise that we do and we some times cruise 3 or 4 or 5 times a week we inevitably get behind. We fit in the vlogs around our lives not the other way round.

![Finally revealing the secret behind my massive (and fast) weight loss!
I lost 150 lbs in 9 months, and then I kept it off. Ever since Ive been asked, over and over, for my secret. Well, there are some questions you ask, but might not want the answer to. And the truth is, I do have a secret, but it isnt what you think it is. This video has been a long time coming; its been literally decades in the making. Its long, its dense, and it isnt (at all) for the faint of heart, but its important. Extremely important. In fact its almost certainly the single most important thing Ill ever say out loud. I hope my secret outlives me. Thank you for your time, your understanding, and your attention. Please share with anyone, and everyone, you think it might benefit... it just might save a life. It would certainly have saved a lot of mine if Id ever heard it from someone with similar secrets.
