I've got some nice pictures of the grebes that you saw on the way down to Nantwich... It was nice to watch them teaching their young how to catch their food... They used to sneak up on the Ducks under the water... it made the Ducks very nervous, I wonder if it was a game🤔 The constant chirping was just like background noise after a while🤪 There was also the geese teaching the young to fly.. it was surprisingly organised a couple of honks and Waggles of their heads and their seem to line up in formation then a couple of honks later they took to the skies... It's nice to watch them grow up👍. I must admit I do like the cygnets better, they are so cute and fluffy and very photogenic ...Until they grow up and somehow they know if they tap long enough on the side of your boat they probably get something to eat.
Another great vlog. Hope Sonia is feeling better, bloody good job she never had man flu. Stroke of luck having to moor up between those two pubs though. Thanks guys, have a great time until the next vlog. Regards Alan.
Sonya - you made us laugh when you said Tony doesn’t do anything anyway - we always comment that you do everything- engine maintenance, painting - well, just everything 😂 Ask him what his secret is as Wayne wants to know! We’re disappointed if we don’t get at least second place in a quiz!
@@nbspudley second place in a quiz! Maybe if there was only 2 teams... if Tony did the DIY I would have to do it all after to fix what he did! I love working on the boat ots like my hobby!
@@sameshipdifferentday2024 😂 understood - right first time is a lot easier than rectifying then doing it again 😂 We need to put a quiz team together then when we’re in the same area. 👍🏻
@@Colridg the amount of times I have gone to do that but then thought better of it because I am accident prone! End up thinking I'm better of doing the walk and staying in one piece!
Hi Tony and Sonia, well really enjoyed the video this week like normal. Hope Sonia gets over her cough and splutter. I had the flu here in Australia for 2 1/2 weeks. It was absolutely ridiculous. I thought I was going to friggin die for one moment could not even breathe properly. Anyway that’s enough of my drama. Keep up the good work guys love the big smiles see you seem like you’re really having a great time together Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia. We are on the big island
Hi Cliff, do you have a boat (living on an island) Sonya is much better now thanks, I'm sure she was just after some sympathy! Great to have you along with us and so glad you enjoy the vlogs
The Shroppie Fly looks inviting not to be confused with the Blandford fly .Good training for the Tardebigge flight if you do it Tony 😊and the waterfowl was a Grebe .
Hi, thanks for sharing your time with us. Birds you wanted to identify were crested grebes. You were lucky to get close to them, they usually dive and come up quite away from where they went down. Glad Sonya is feeling better. ATB to the 3 of you. Take care and stay safe. 😊
@@yvonnebailey9973 thanks Yvonne, we thought they were cormorants it was only when we saw them up close we realised they weren't. We are all good thanks, just started on the Llangollen!
Great episode, you never disappoint 😊. I've seen other u tubers using a belt to hook the windlass onto. Will you get a magnet, interesting to see whst you might find on your stops. Have a wonderful week! x
@@howardeastman-uk thanks Howard I would feel like a bit of a donut carrying it in a belt but I may have to as I nearly dropped another one in the canal the other day
Hello neighbours🙋♂ thank you for the sub👍 nice chatting with you today... I know I did all the chatting🤪. I think I'll watch one of your old videos now...... Cringe cringe🤣..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A yard is three feet and the birds are crebes. Great vlog by the way.
Thanks for the info! Glad you liked the vlog

Oh dear oh deary me old imperial (proper) measurement is a yard, 3ft or 36" as any of us children of the fi8fties and early 60'ws would know 😀😀😀
@@paulalanryder5397 we were just on the crossover where we use all the measurements!

I remember those Pub Quizzes in The Yacht. Fun nights during tough times.
@@DeclanSarah remember the tie breaker? If it hadn't been for Declan we would be millionaires!
Great video again, Tony you would save time going down or up the flight by stepping over the tail gates when one is open and one is closed,

The two water fowl look like great crested grebes to me. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_crested_grebe
@@petethegardener someone else said that, we were sire thet were Cormorant when we first saw them

love you both and vodeos are ash 71 now 🥰
@@ashleymay5238 thanks Ash 😊 what do you mean 71?
Those birds were Grebes (possibly Great Crested Grebes).
Do they dive under water like cormorants?
@@sameshipdifferentday2024 Cormorants ‘dive’ like kamikaze nutter, & they ‘swim’. Grebes dive just like ducks.
@@TController Cool, just wondered as they have similar shapes
Teachers that don’t know what a yard is?? 😂 jeeze…. Nice hair tho
Me or Sonya on the hair? I know a yard because in football the wall has to be ten yards away!
