Same Ship Different Day (a narrowboat story)
United Kingdom
Приєднався 4 жов 2007
Hi everyone, we are Sonya, Tony and Willow after nearly 25 years of teaching (us not Willow), we quit our jobs, sold all our belongings and started our brand-new life living full-time on a narrowboat travelling around the stunning canals and rivers of the UK. It would be wonderful to have you along with us for the journey. This is the story of the same ship different day!
Nothings ever straightforward on NARROWBOAT Kimberley-Jo!
Last leg of our Chris Rea journey home but we still have to overcome awful weather, fallen trees, dropping temperatures and shocking spillages before we reach our winter mooring. At this stage you would expect no less from the Same Ship Different Day!

@@DarranBlackburn fast forward Darran!
Job done! 😂 boss vid! 👏 Well done! 🍺🍷😊
Glad you enjoyed it Woody!
We were in Rugby waiting for the tree to be moved. No one had been passed for days until on Tuesday a prosession of boat came through including yourself Sonia, so we figured the tree had been cleared but the website not updated. We got to Brinklow, moored for lunch only to have a guy from CRT tap on the boat. They had just spent an hour getting a boat off the tree!! It rained through the night, Hubby used his fishing line to test where the tree was under the water. It was only 30 inches under the water. We are deep drafted. We passed with only a couple of inches spare on the port side. Someone did tell us later that they needed to bring in bigger equipment to deal with it because when the started cutting it up where it met the towpath the main trunk slid further into the canal.
@@elainewolstenholme8702 wow! We were so lucky then! Did they clear ot in ghe end?
@@elainewolstenholme8702 sorry just read it again and you just got through too; could have been a nightmare!
What a good job done by all in less than comfy conditions. Super driving into the marina and parking up in those conditions. Thank god Willow found the camera otherwise we would have hardly seen her. Time now to pull back and charge your batteries again. See you all on the next one!
Cheers Nigel, I think Willow made for the camera especially for you! Only thing about being in the marina is not a lot of footage for the vlogs!
The Smurfs were originally sold at 'National' garages from 1978, i remember, parents friends gave me one, my father used a 'Texaco' - it's all good, you corrected.
When I saw the advert I remembered the National sign- used to bug my parents if I saw one!
Hi Tony, Sonia and Willow thank you once again for the fantastic video I always love you guys you make me laugh so much keep up the good work. Hope 2025 will be a blessed year for you both , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️
@@bishopkinlyside8477 Hey Cliff! Good to hear from you as always. Does it get cold on the island?
Well done on that leg. Best thing that you could have done by sitting out the wind. Love your videos. Happy New Year. David...Highland Dreamer
@@davidsimpson130 the wind was incredible we were so kicks that we had that small gap to move in.
Tony should resist having haircuts at this time of year 😂
@@AstroBoater made us laugh
Hope you are all well 👍

Well done!!! many stressful points in the trip, but as with most things, everything worked out Brilliantly! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Matt, we got there in the end!
So happy you got things sorted before Christmas, A lot of work . Thank you for taking us along and hope your having a great New Year , Cheers
Thanks Craig, having a great new year thanks
Did you ever get a Father Abraham Smurf?😂We had soap suds on the canal in the1960’s ,enough to disappear a boat! Upon Reflection was well chuffed with your electric saw,l expect you’ll be using quite a bit at the moment 🥶
Problem we have is not knowing which trees are which! We keep looking for ash trees!
Great video. I am the lead Waterways Chaplain, and keen to clip your interview with Andrew to use elsewhere. That okay? ta
@@chrismovie-d5q yes of course it was great speaking to him and finding out what you do
We often moor in that spot at Springwood Haven.
@@elainewolstenholme8702 it is beautiful 😍
Happy New Year You guys are the best
@@terriedelph3721 Cheers Terrie! 😍
Hi Tony, Sonia and Willow happy New Year to you all. I must say I really get excited when I see your videos because I know I’m going to have a wonderful time watching you both bounce off each other and have a fantastic laugh. Lots of love and appreciation for you both Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia. I’m on the big island
Hey Cliff. thanks as always we love your messages really makes our week x
Big Happy New Year to my favourite people especially Willow. She is so good running up and down the path and then doing what she is told, a full controlled dog is a happy dog with happy parents. Loved it all. Are you able to get Sky for Tony to be able to watch the football? Via the internet maybe. I use Sky Glass at home, what a lot of dross that has dropped out! Safe journey till I see you again!
@@nigelbranchett7718 Hey Nigel! Great to hear from you as always. Yeah I get Sky on my laptop and its always pretty good! Willow is certainly a happy dog especially when a ball is around. Hope this is the start of a fantastic year for you x
Don't you think talking about Bottle, Bottle is a little bit redundant?
@@russgaulke1364 They sent them to us as they had watched our vlogs so we thought we'd share. We didn't get anything for it just thought people might be interested
Guess you didn't get that "bottle bottle "is redundant - repeated twice. I was just trying to make puns as as cringe worthy as some of yours.
@russgaulke1364 You got me! Yours might be worse than mine 🤣🤣🤣
Happy New year! Boss vid! 👏 Y.N.W.A. 🔴
@@woodypj Cheers Woody, love your messages!
Love your videos. We have a boat moored at Aston Marina at Stone. Lovely to see places where we have been and want to explore in the future. Happy New Year to you both.
Thanks David, we loved Stone- definately one of our favourite moorings
Thanks for another great video. You guys are a breath of fresh air and watching you always lifts my spirits. Now, your singing on the other hand ... to sing like that requires true talent 😁
So glad to finally hear from a conoisseur John!
No idea, that's what industry calls them.
Happy new year guys. Banter still makes me laugh between you. Hope you had a really good Christmas. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Take care and stay safe 😊
Had a great Christmas thanks Yvonne but glad to be back on the boat!

I will add that to the list Phil! Feel like it should be helmsmanning!

@@sameshipdifferentday2024 Ah okay. Well we are around think we plan to go towards market harbour maybe but just let us know and if Phil can help he will try to 😀
Well, Willow that was darn enjoyable, your assistants are doing a wonderful job, other than calling you back when you have just found the best stick in the world. I do so enjoy watching you two, three. Learn things as well, may not seem important but adds a lot to interest and enjoyment for me. The electrical fault was a bit like a "happening" on a computer, shut down and start again routine. You won't forget that one. Paul your helper is very good a craftsman like work, I watch them as well. Of course, they have a dog, Ernie, no dog no watch is my motto! Thanks for the valued entertainment have a great New Year. Not too many drinks on New Years eve especially Willow. Already looking forward to the next instalment from you great lunatics!
@@nigelbranchett7718 Hey Nigel, hope you have had a great Christmas 🎄 and wish you a great New Year to come! Willow has loved being spoilt over Christmas but is now planning our next adventure x
I saw my boat! I saw my boat!!! Thanks again for the mention guys! Hope you’ve had a fab Christmas and all the very best for the new year!! I’m not going to elaborate on the singing remark!

We are looking to move to Hopwas in the coming year when the appropriate house becomes available. Funnily enough we had a look at one of the bungalows you a moored across the canal from.
@@Paul.simpson84 it was great living there for a couple of weeks!
@@sameshipdifferentday2024 yes but it needs facilities, it is very popular with the shopping nearby, walks, pubs and being away from toe rags. The CRT should ask the tame otter if they can put the facilities in the corner of the back of their car park.
@Paul.simpson84 that would be perfect
