Narrowboat Business Owners! Can We Break-Even?! IWA Canalway Cavalcade 2022 

Another great video guys, we enjoyed seeing you 5 at little Venice ❤️ Sam don’t forget if you need your dress altered Sau is your girl , take care hopefully see you soon x

Yes, watched again. Minus the parking, that seemed like a really fun gathering ☺️

That doesn't sound like me, pretending I know what I'm on about 🤥😁. It was a great weekend though wasn't it, and great to chat to soo many lovely people. Oh and cheers for the beers 🍻 Dave and Kyle.

I appreciate how positive and up beat you two are! Cheers!

Very enjoyable pleased to hear all went well with the sales, KEEP CHUGGING.

Hi guys, I watched the video because of the title and to my surprise saw it was of the cavalcade… I am “light man” as you described me 😆, and also took part in the quiz on Friday… it was great to see you having such a good time and I am glad it was a successful venture… oh… and I preferred the boat that was your fave in the illuminated parade as well 👍😊

Hi Tim and Sam!! It was a lot of fun meeting you both on the Monday! Glad to see you enjoyed the Cavalcade and well done. 😊😊

That was great. I would have loved to see the boat parade and all. Tim, with Henry’s help 😂, did a great job reversing. So glad you had a great time and did well selling. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Great Canalway Cavalcade. You all did fantastic, to break even on your very first trade day is what we traders hope for. Take care and keep chugging! 🤗💕

It should be obvious after years of watching and following narrowboat videos, but I never realized how many active canals there are in London! I can see myself cruising around London for weeks and still not see it all! What an adventure that could be!

So glad you both had a great weekend 👏 and a reverse parking manoeuvre to be proud of, nice work and keep pushing your game, it will take off given time! And keep chugging 👍

Great vlog as usual. Little Venice looked really beautiful day or night. Top marks for backing into the toast rack, never much fun if a few people are watching, although most would be empathetic (been there!). And Sam was very quietly on point⛵

Great report. So pleased you are doing well! We love the game.

Lovely seeing you both in London having a chance to sell your game, and meeting lots of people❗️ you deserve all success as you navigate life and canals❣️ You always remind me to keep chugging✌🏼💕

Great reversing move Tim, it looked very professional from the towpath 👍

Still trying to convince the missus to trade our cottage in Belhaven for a Narrowboat in the UK lol nice video kids Tim I have decide to go back to being a "long hair" as well.. the missus says she is tired of me looking "silly" with the short haircut lol Cheers from North Carolina Pirate Dave & M

Well done Guys, great result 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It looked like you had a fun weekend. I would loved to have seen all those boats with lights. I'm not surprised you managed to break even selling your game, it is a great game. Well done.

Well done on reversing into that space Tim. Never easy reversing a narrowboat. Glad you enjoyed the weekend and broke even with selling ‘Argy Bargey’. Said it before and I’ll say it again…..brilliant game. See you both soon. Phil ❤️

Absolutely gutted! Wanted to see you both but got a dose of the dreaded lurgey and spent the weekend in bed! Glad it went well

Another cool vlog. So glad you guy did well. Wish I could of been their with you all. Stay groovy and stay safe.

Sam, Tim, great Vlog as always. It must have been great fun, as well as hard work. Great to see Myles and Marina. I saw, on Wes and Amy's Vlog that they called in to say hello too and bought a game. What a great canal boating friendship you all have. Fantastic reverse into the mooring, well done Tim. Have a great week, Take care.

Sam/Tim glad you had a great weekend looked liked everyone was enjoying themselves. Tim,nice job on mooring between those two boats,you’re really getting the hang of it 👍🏾. Cheers

Wow looks like it definitely was a fun and big event, so so many people & boats. Happy for the start of success in selling your game. Liked the couple that asked for you to sign the game box,that was Kool. Great weekend and video!! See you both soon and enjoy your time crusing the canals!! Keeep. Chugging!! 😊 👋

If you in MK moor up near Oakridge Park (Black Horse Pub) or towards Linford Wood. My home town!

Just loved this and SO wished we could’ve been there, it looked SO much fun 💖 Well done on a successfull weekend 💷🎲🤩💙 P.S: Cai looking all grown up with his bigboy haircut and munching on Onion Rings 😆😍

Well done, so pleased your enterprise is being rewarded.

So glad you had a lovely weekend I'm gutted I really wanted to come up and meet you guys but unfortunately something came up and I couldn't make it I wish you all the success with your game lots of love X

Hi Tim and Sam, congratulations on a successful weekend. I found keeping hydrated helps. Nice job mooring (?) the boat. I’m impressed😊

Well done guys.

Well done!

Hi Sam Tim,got to say you did a nice job going astern in the gap you had to get into well done,looks like you sold a few games as long as you made a profit all good ,sure was a lot of people about,and in the evening lots to do hope you both enjoyed you new adventure till next time take care keep yourself safe,John 😂🌹🙏☝️👀👏🤩🧐😋

Your game looks fun!

Nice work reversing into that space, Tim. That's not easy 👍

FanTAStic! Looking around, during the entertainment and the boat parade, you guys had the BEST seat in the house. Seriously, maybe the judges stand was better but location wise I thought they were equal and you had box seats while they had general admission and people were walking past them, stopping in front of them, they had lots of extraneous noise and I think you had them beat. It would not be a bad thing if they distributed themselves on various narrowboats parked as you were to make it easier on themselves and so the contestants did not know where to focus and everyone got a good show. I enjoyed the festivities through the lens of your camera, always shy to attend such gatherings and wishing that I had more nerve. After the recent passing of my husband, I find myself having no real responsibility for any person except my grandson’s dog. The house we lived in served us well with our children and nephews and grandkids and grandnephews and nieces but it has been much much too much house and grounds for two older people and it is ridiculous for one person who is really not physically able to keep the house, the grounds or the pool in good working order at all times. ANYWAY (apologies for the ramble) am seriously considering 4 options: to purchase a few acres in the northern most regions of the lower 48 states in the US and building a small cottage big enough to allow comfortable visits for one or two people; or spend a year or two traveling around North America before buying said small house and land or moving to the UK after purchasing a narrowboat and cruising the navigable waterways of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France. I was an artist and silversmith but stuck with healthcare work for the steady salary and medical insurance. Plan to go back to jewelry making and painting and sketching and beadwork. If I stay in the states, I will probably hit the PowWow Circuit for a few years and if I go with the UK I would find a narrowboat that had a “dirty room” for a studio. I don’t know if I would want to be a trade boat but might do festivals and boat shows. Places where I might put up a tent/booth. If I do either one, here’s hoping I have more nerve to attend the social events like you two seem to easily hop over to. Even if I choose NOT to peddle my wares, I hope I get the nerve to attend the various goings on and festivals that would have me move my house from here to there and back again, rather than staying in the same spot until I am told that it is time to go. You two make it seem easy. Is it?

Hi Sam Tim,I guess having a stool was a fist for you I hope you sold a few Games it look very Bissy and it looked a great weekend with all types of things going on in the evening

Fabulous vlog! Cavalcade looks fun and such a lot of lovely boats! Great manoeuvring Tim 😁 into a very difficult spot! Xxx

I noticed a couple of days ago you made an appearance on Hung Henniges London Walks😊

Excellent reversing Tim👍

Thanks for sharing this exciting video!

BOATING business WORK play LOVE nature

Thanks for the video…looks like a good time…stay safe and take care !!

Well done You Two ..... Glad You MORE than broke even with Your Game! :-)

Great video and glad you had fun and broke even

It certainly is a hard task to be a trader👍 When I played the game I was missing some possibilties to go through a mountain. But maybe I did something wrong. It is a good game, thats for sure.

Don’t give up it takes time to build a business. Your videos are fun and love stats at end. Times are little ruff right now but I do plan to order board game. Watched Cruising Alba playing it with friends. Please keep on chugging

Well done guys,,, great vlog 👍👍

I cannot express how much joy I feel watching your vlogs from here in Texas. What a tremendous couple you are. How did you meet? Leigh

nice one indeed

That looks like a delightful time. The venture was well designed. Thank you for sharing. It is always a treat to join you. I am interested in getting a game of Argy Bargy in the USA

Chugtastic vlog guys 👌👌👌👌

Top reversing Tim. Not easy on camera as well I know 😬. Elliott (Narrow Escape)

Well done with the reverse park and the trading. I did notice some of your video and pictures were mirrored. You need to go into your camera settings and turn off mirroring in the selfie pic section. I assume they were phone pics.

P.s: forgot to say “well done” on the reverse parking into the toast rack 👏🙌👏🙌👍

HELLO! GLAD MY FAVORITE CANAL VLOGGERS HAD A GREAT FESTIVAL, AND MADE A MILLION DOLLARS IN ORDERS! 💰💰💰💰💰 I SAW 'SAM' FOR HALF-A-SECOND ON THIS (Hung Henniges London Walking Tours) VIDEO: 'London Canal Festival | IWA Canalway Cavalcade 2022 | London Walking Tour' CARRYING THE BABY UP THE PATH. (AT THE 14:04 MARK) I RECOGNIZE THAT SMILE ANYWHERE.

Have you considered a travel version of Argy Bargey? Maybe a roll up board so everything fits in a tube taking much less space than the usual box. I note that many games went down this route, many very successfully. We'd love to try the game but postage to where we are is so hit and miss that we've decided to wait till we are home in UK to buy one.

chugtastic 🙂

Great Video, would not of enjoyed reverse Parking between two boats, and It didn’t look like you enjoyed that part either, well done for not touching other boats, if only they used that in handling comp, or at least given you some points

Argy Bargy MK 2, introduce some 3D items, like on Monopoly.

I'm a pensioner in nz, whats happening with covid in the Uk. It seems protection is out the window, but many are still dying? Sorry to hit you two up on this topic. But whats your opinion ?

Jesus I swear I saw a heron nesting in your hair Tim
