► 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.

Garibaldi - Traditionally known as "Squashed Fly Biscuits". 😄

[@rogerbond7811]

We call them dead fly biscuits

[@prof1798]

A biscuit is defined in law as hard and turns soft with age, a cake is soft and turns hard with age. Jaffa Cake ruling by supreme court. :) It was explained by Stephen Fry on QI Program on TV

[@MinimalList]

Yes, I remember the debate.

[@18robsmith]

I recall listening to a "here' how you do a lock" briefing which went along the lines "When you get to a lock open the paddles, wait until the level stops changing open the gates and shut the paddles". The hapless hirers were very confused and oh so grateful when I arrived behind them at their first lock and talked them slowly through the process, which they now understood. (Best part of it was later in the day when I strolled into the pub they were in and was greeted with "What do you want to eat & drink?". A real win for being nice.

[@beverlyberesh8469]

I could listen to Michael all day! But, then again, I don't have to. (He's so funny!)

[@MinimalList]

As Jo will attest, I’m at my funniest when carefully edited! Love you Mom! M

[@Alchimaera]

The autonomous duck comment took me back to when I had a toddler & was watching a lot of Pingu. Casually said in conversation to someone "oh yes, because Penguins live in igloos, oh hang on, no they don't do they!!" 😂😂

[@MinimalList]

haha.

[@jaynecopland]

Hahahahahaha! The biscuit convo is so familiar in my world! I love “biscuit adjacent” 😂

[@stevenrix7024]

If they self-identify as biscuits then who are we to judge? 😊

[@MinimalList]

Biscuit adjacent could cover a whole multitude of items!

[@mattcherry276]

Rugby Boats still do the KZbin tours of all their boats, as featured by CtC a few years ago. I wondered if there was about to be a bit of a channel crossover thingy about to happen. The dog has become a star in its own right!

[@MinimalList]

George has always been a star! M

[@mistywolf312]

Garibaldi biscuits were my dads favourites. as a kid I called them dead fly biscuits :)

[@MinimalList]

And that is what we will know them as from now on!

[@richardboulanger3393]

LOL @ Biscuit adjacent. I love Garibaldi. Love currants, which are hard to find in the states.

[@iandavenport8423]

I am currently waiting in my sixth stoppage since leaving the moorings four weeks ago

[@Thrayps]

Very entertaining,loved the humourous banter.

[@johnbenefield922]

Great watch from Aotearoa NZ cant believe the higher boater stuffed ecerything up. Hope they aplogised and shouted you a beer or two.

[@MinimalList]

It wasn't a hire boat. I don't think they actually realised or thought it through. No really harm done, just a little bit frustrating.

[@siobhanappleton4985]

Be right back, need to adjust my local shops biscuit aisle signage to include the biscuits adjacent. :)

[@shirleyneufeld351]

I may have missed why are to coming to Canada??🇨🇦. Seeing the poppies reminded me of the poppy and daisy field I saw when I visited England, it was beautiful. Thank you for your vlog.

[@MinimalList]

We are visiting Michael's family.

[@shirleyneufeld351]

Have or hope you had a wonderful time in Canada. We will have 30 C temperatures this week so I hope you didn’t get that.

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video as always enjoy them! George is adorable!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@markphillips2076]

I do like this new format where we get Michael's thoughts on the philosophical nature of the biscuit isle, biscuits and their biscuit-adjacent brethren. Oh and trashy pop songs. 😁

[@MinimalList]

I have lots of clips that didn't make the edit. I might put the whole conversations up on our second channel at some point.

[@davidcadden6097]

Beer festival is where the music is coming from..

[@MinimalList]

Indeed! The number of drunk people stumbling past was one of the clues.

[@vivianewing7154]

I laminated all the maps you sent me and can now trace routes of different narrowboat people and adventures as they travel the English waterways. Thanks for all the maps! t

[@MinimalList]

How wonderful! So glad you are finding them useful.

[@MarcMercier1971]

Wow. I haven't watched the channel (or the other NB'ing channels) for quite awhile. Michael looks great. I had concerns for his health.

[@tonycamplin8607]

I still have, he's lost so much weight.

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

I haven't had a Garibaldi in a long time, now I'm craving some with a cuppa

[@MinimalList]

Hope you got a pack the next time you went to the shops

[@brendamartin7280]

Love seeing you guys and that awesome George!! that's one cool dog!

[@MinimalList]

We have to agree about the cool dog bit.

[@brendamartin7280]

@@MinimalList I love watching you guys!

[@MarcelEling]

Nice amd relaxing to watch again. Having nice discussions on the way. I'm dreaming away to do it myself.

[@2hsprn12]

In the intro, Michael, if your hat was pointy, you'd look just like Gandalf! =)

[@MinimalList]

haha

[@larsole77]

Hi guys Michael you looking good hope everyone is doing well give George a big hug for me great volg take care guys

[@MinimalList]

All good here. Thank you.

[@johncassels3475]

As kids our name for Garibaldi biscuits was "Fly Cemetaries!" - nice to hear them mentioned again after many years.

[@eekee6034]

Haha! That's even -worse- better than my family's "fly biscuits" ;)

[@MinimalList]

So sad. And disgusting.

[@eekee6034]

@@MinimalList Sorry! 🤣

[@ToddTalksTech]

LOL.. I bet Rugby Boats would love to video tour and sell one of the big celebrity boats on the canal.. not just yet LOL.

[@dorothydotson7154]

With Bumble inspecting, of course.

[@annielewes]

Not sweet: cheese biscuits, water biscuits 😂

[@MinimalList]

Water biscuits just sound wrong!

[@jacquelinecammaerts6400]

On Michaels side here - ever ordered Cheese and biscuits after a meal???? he;s right

[@logtothebase2]

My Biscuit adjacency was diagnosed at age 9 after a cup of tea and a half packet of plain chocolate digestives.

[@2gray2care]

When all boats rise, maybe.

[@robwilkie1]

I’m with Michael. You have oat biscuits for cheese and they are not sweet 😂

[@MinimalList]

It's a good point.

[@stevenmorehouse2626]

lol @ "biscuit adjacent"

[@cms9902]

There's a can of worms - biscuits. You can have cheese biscuits made in the same way as sweet varieties sans sucre. However, in the US scones are called biscuits. Lets not get started on how to pronounce scone haha

[@MinimalList]

The biscuit debate rumbles on and on!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid thank lee

[@JCDiamond]

On our last tripJD bought Garibaldi biscuits - I was not a fan. Of course, Jo, there are CHEESE BISCUITS...:P

[@MinimalList]

Yes. You are right about the cheese biscuits. I haven't brought myself to gave a garibaldi, id much rather have a chocolate chip cookie than anything with raisins in.

[@chrisfrench4150]

Odd, NarrowboatWill had problems going up the flight recently with a boat in front letting water down unnecessarily. Was it the same boat? :-) And surely savoury biscuits are a thing ? Not all non-sweet biscuits are crackers

[@williamsavage6301]

The labeling of items in grocery stores around the world is always vague.

[@jonnyjones5201]

Did you see Bumble at Rugby boats😅😅

[@MinimalList]

Considering i dont know if bumble is a boat or a person I think the answer must be no.

[@eekee6034]

I don't think I could be a single boater either. I can do some engine checks but get so confused about others. Some days I get more confused than others. Edit: The autonomous duck bit cracked me up! XD I too would like to put an autonomous duck on the canal... lol! Jo, I hope you're feeling better, or will soon. :) Michael, you're forgetting your spaceship technology. Bussard collectors are magnetic ramscoops which collect hydrogen from the interstellar medium and use it for propellant. ;) The idea has recently been debunked, but was thought that it might work for long enough that every Star Trek ship supposedly has them.

[@MarcelEling]

Fact is that you have to think what you are doing using the locks😅

[@iandavenport8423]

I have clearly missed a VLog which explains the ducky

[@playhooky]

I thought that was on the back of the boat that was just going thru a lock with them.

[@richardsmith2627]

So, a 4 finger KitKat is chocolate bar yet a 2 finger KitKat is a biscuit?!!???!

[@MinimalList]

I don't remember saying that.

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Cheese biscuits

[@banjax66]

It's North-ampton... Not North-Hampton. LOL.

[@knobby2knobby]

Where I come from we call it Norfamton 😜

[@ba12357]

Not too many "automaton-ous" ducks on the canal. And lol Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digesting_Duck
