adventures ahead

 

Hi Everyone


We are still on the River we have booked to go up the lift to the canal on Monday morning we are to wait there until Thurs when Maryanne will collect us to go to the Funeral.

Someone said to me a few days ago that living on a boat must be like having a daily adventure. That astounded me because I had never realised that because thats exactly what it is.

Yesterday having watch our new Neighbours sail off into the sun rise. Was the water and pump aou was behind us in a very fast flowing we either go forward and turn around or reverse looking at how fast the river was flowing I decided to take the less authordox way and reverse I forgot to mention about the bridge between us and the water station made it I should have filmed it. What I am saying that adventure lasted about 90min but an adventure anyway. Yesterday being a thurs we decided to leave our mooring in the Town and move up to the lift quite an uplifting trip as this time I left our mooring did a 360 degree turn in the mouth of the river Dane which is quite narrow but we did it another adventure we have a nice mooring again on a pontoon this time we do not have to climb a wall to exit the boat.

Today was “just a bit of shopping” now this you can do yourself for a little adventure. Go On line decide which shop you want to frequent, type it into Google map or just type in the sort of shop you want ..then pick up your bags and the phone sat nav it then will start your adventure oh I forgot most of this is on foot,, what a spectacular afternoon out all free

I am just about to find a hairdresser for Tomorrows adventure as Noreen requires a hair cut so it will be a bus into the abyss (Northwich) You ladies will know that you go into a hair saloon with the greatest of fear & trepidation imagine what its like to actually have to map read to get. Another day adventure awaits us

I wrote that piece just in case you all thought we just move the boat the doss around before we move it again NO its one adventure after another


God Bless

Stay Safe

  High everyone  Well the time has come,we will be setting sail for our 2023 cruise next Thursday it's been a long time coming this year almost 2 months behind. I am now beginning to get a little concerned with this beautiful weather we are experiencing by the time we set sail we will be low on water and Canal River Trust will again as usual be sat on their backside expecting everyone to do something but them. I am not going to start complaining about CRT I do that direct to them though I do believe that my mail to them reaches the bin before anyone reads it, All I can say is I have an ongoing Campaign to rule them unfit for purpose. Last year's cruise consisted of two trips to Liverpool which is at best and taking your time only a three-day trip, all because Canal river trust know nothing about canals and definitely nothing about boats and boaters. and what they know about water conservation you could put on the back of a postage stamp. Yet this stupid government has put them

Ferry across Merssey

 Today we decided to go over to New Brighton by traveling on the Ferry from Liverpool to Seacombe and walk the 3 mile to New Brighton along the Esplanade and the Magazine store. Its a lovely walk watching all the boats go in and out of the port, you can imagine how it was in years gone bye with hundreds of boats waiting out in the estuary for their turn to unload. However our walk was done with the wind and rain on our back and almost in our 3 mile walk we only met two other people.  On reaching New Brighton and the rain still comming down in turents we decided to take and early lunch. We found a chippy that in both Menu and decore  was back in the 50s. However food was really good and cheap though Noreen did not apreciate the Pea juice soaking into her Salad? You had best let Noreen explain that one.  After lunch the rain really started to come down, so we decided to take the advice of one of our diners and take the Bus back not just to Seacombe but direct to Liverpool, It was the bes
