For those of you just joining us, welcome! We're Vic and Jo and we've been narrowboating around the UK for the last few years on our 54ft narrowboat Zero. Last year we decided to give up our jobs in the city and add another boat to our fleet in hope of turning it into a travelling cafe and becoming full time boating baristas.
Follow us as we learn the ins and outs of business on the water whilst cruising around the UK.

Thank you ever so much for all the narrowboat adventures you have given me. I've watched you from your beginning, and it has been a thrill. The building of Holly the Coffee Boat, opening up and of course, the birth of dear William. I look forward to more adventures with the three of you next year and beyond. Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year. Stay groovy and stay safe.

So very good to see you all enjoying each others company👍👍👍🍺 in Nottingham, Ye Olde Tripp to Jerusulem, pub, you can go up into a cave roof, whereas in the Ye Olde Salutation Inn, ( 15th centuary ) you can go down, down, into an underground ( haunted ) grotto.

[@DJ-lf2hm]

Happy Seasons and Merry Greetings! For a gift I got my partner some Canal Water and a Dirty Sponge as that was the best 10 minutes of entertainment on the entire internet this entire year. Best to you both and give William a snuggle for me (because SO weird from a total stranger!) (and warranted my first ever internet comment!).

[@jamesberry1109]

Your videos are a wonderful way to spend some time, relaxing and imagining what it would be like to be on the canals of England. Love your down-to-earth approach to making it look easy...however, I am sure it isn't like that all the time. Love how you share your family with us, including now your dear sweet William. What a gorgeous baby. Having two sons of my own plus five grand sons, I can relate. Thank you for taking the time and energy to create your videos... Have been watching since you were working on Holly. Quite an adventure for sure. You have produced some of the best narrowboat videos around. Keep doing it if you can. They are incredible!

[@slider4511]

Hello again from the foothills of Mt Rainer, Washington state. It's been a blessing to me to watch your lives, living the best you can. And it's such a joy to your miracle William. All the best to you during the holiday season and another amazing year to come. Blessings from me to you 3 🙏💕💐💝 your friend in the states Gillis 🖐️

Merry Christmas to you all and a prosperous New Year, look for ward to seeing you in 2022.

[@nancyspringston8547]

I especially enjoy following you guys. When I began watching Narrowboating, I told my husband that we would have a Cafe’ boat, as I run a Cafe’ for our church and do some light catering. Shortly after that I discovered your channel. I love your cakes….and so far as I can tell it is primarily coffee, cakes and ice cream that you serve. Then, following your cruises and the birth of William has been delightful. Now, renting this wonderful home and having all of your family with you is absolutely delightful. Thank you for sharing your life and adventus with us….I enjoy you immensely. Happy Anniversary, and Happy New Year 2022, may it be a much better year for this world.

[@andyintex]

A very Merry Christmas to y'all!
