Lazy Day 1 here, Lazy Day 2 here.
Watch out men! It’s an invasion force!!!
The red and yellow beaked mini-chicken and its mother in the background seen near our boat today.
I’m still trying with Heineken. I’m sure they’re just about to send me that free beer. Please see here, here, here, and here.
Somebody from Heineken must surely spot one of my posts sooner or later?
A chicken hiding out on (in?) one of the lock gates nearby.
For those of you with expensive tastes…
An image representing the British Conservative Party. The Party is about to sink without trace and probably no bad thing! What a disgraceful shambles they are!!!
Not two things you see together often…
Many years ago I worked on deep sea salvage tugs and, since then, I’ve always had a soft spot for tugs. The second image shows the tug Statesman, the first tug I went to sea on in 1972 (this makes me feel VERY old!). The radio callsign of the statesman was 6ZQS (Liberian) but was changed to GSAA when the Statesman became registered in Britain (something to do with the Cod War!). The front of the Statesman looked like one of those expensive ocean-going yachts.

We put Lucie on the market in 2017 but then decided to spend another year in Holland (hard to leave such a wonderful place). Â Now the time for us to leave has come around and we have now put Lucie on the market again. Â If you like the idea of living a wonderful life on the waterways of Europe, then please click here.

Please click on the Soundcloud link below, close your eyes and join me on the streets of Amsterdam for the King’s Day (27 April) celbrations. Amsterdam turns into one big street party on King’s Day and boats with very loud sound systems and celebrating crew members tour the city’s canals having what can only be described as a very good time!
See all other soundscapes here.
