    This special video is a departure from our usual refitting of our narrowboat.
    We were asked to help with the facelift of the "Café Afloat", a local landmark in Worcester. It's a very popular venue and a hub for visitors, walkers and boaties as well and we were given access to document the whole process from conception to completion.

      Hi Merulious,
      Thanks for watching and for your seal of approval, I was very happy to help my friend and the café is super busy. Now other people are asking for help with their plans and marketing, so I am both flattered and flat out and we've still got much to do if we are to leave the marina on time to start cruising.
      Regards,
      Martin

      Hi Helen, Hi Tony,
      Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, things are mad busy at the moment, not just with the boat fit out but other people wanting help with business plans and marketing, I suppose I should be flattered but were already flat out trying to finish the boat and start cruising.
      Thanks for your seal of approval and welcome aboard, we've watched and enjoyed a couple of your vlogs and think we are on a similar life path so hopefully we can meet up once we start moving eh! Till then have fun and make people smile.
      Regards,
      Martin, Donna and Dylan

    It is possible to cruise having a boat wrapped, i had my boat wrapped three years ago, and have cruised ever since and it still serviceable and looking good.

      Hi Colin,
      That's interesting... we are going to paint ours as soon as the temps starts to warm up, do you get any trouble with tree rubs?

      No more than on an expensive paint job, but since it was less than a fifth of the quoted price of having it painted and done in a day it not so much of an issue, whereas if I had paid for it to be painted I would be crying if it got scraped, you can always patch the wrap!

      Hi John,
      Hope you're well my my friend, I have a bit of previous with this kind of thing and Dave knew about that so he asked me could I help him. He's a great friend so it was my pleasure to jump in.
      Donna and I are happy to paint our boat ourselves but now that we have met Paul, we may well ask him to print our new name and artwork for the boat before we set sail.
      Catch up soon mate.

    You buy a boat and don't cruise?
    That seems stupid to me. I mean, what's the point?
