Dear Liz, Paul and Captain Ernie, Guys congratulations on reaching the 100th vlog. You should be very proud of yourselves for that accomplishment. Liz will you change the appearance for vlogs 101 - 200? Paul, I heard, at the beginning of this vlog, the alternator belt was starting to squeal again. If that was so, do try some belt dressing spray. As for the bedroom, just love how you have redecorated it Liz. It looks so bright and yet cozy. Looking forward to next week. Mark Alberta, Canada

Hi Mark, hadn't thought about changing the appearance of the vlogs, I changed them not so long ago so may leave it as is and just keep them rolling 😉 I'm much happier with tue bedroom colour change, a lot calmer than the pink ever was.

Hello guys and Ernie 🐕 I think I mentioned in a previous video about the moorings at Redbull. When we were moored up there in June it was literally the most perfect Summer evening. We sat outside the pub after a lush meal and it was just stunning! Ah just to go back in time now. Although I do love Autumn and Winter (pre Christmas of course!) You're making me canal sick here with the memories lol. By Christmas it'll be half way to our Summer canal adventure. Where is the time going?! 🫤 We've definitely decided to do the Four Counties Ring again next Summer as we loved it! Be weird revisiting the Middlewich branch over Christmas. Pfff least there'll be no horseflies!! I've still got the scars now! 😭

The Middlewich Branch is a really bad section for horse fly and mosquito, although it had all been cut down when we travelled back down it, I don't think the overgrown towpaths that were bad when you went down it helped with the insect invasion.

Күн бұрын
Hi, most moorings have a time limit to allow other boaters to enjoy so in busy places it would be 24 or 48hours which allow other boaters to stop and enjoy the area otherwise people wouldn't be able to find a nice mooring. In winter most places become 14day moorings as its less busy on the canals and not as many boats wanting mooring locations. Sometimes we have to move off if we plan to be cruising to a particular canal, like the Llangollen that we are heading to and we have to move quite quickly as the Canal and River Trust have planned maintenance during winter and you need to move and make sure you don't get stuck behind a lock that they plan to shut or anything. Hope that all makes sense 😊

@rocka-cb7kk yes we were frozen in a few times last year. You aren't required to move if the canal is frozen and its not safe to do so so you just stay put. If you know a freeze is coming you try and moor near to a water point or at peast fill up before you know its coming to ensure that you aren't frozen in with no water onboard. We were caught out for 2 days last year when it was an expected freeze but the 2nd freeze we got we were prepared for and it was a good job we were as we were stuck for about 10days. 🥶
