A Shady Cruise

[@m.d.grimes1622]

Good video, thanks. Love the little dogs. 👍👍😁😎

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Pleased you enjoyed it

[@originalpickaxe]

Now if I were you Gary , with that lovely new paintwork , I would find some strips of rubber (cut from a bit of old rubber doormat or similar) to slot under those doughnut chains to protect that rim from getting scratched up and nasty looking.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Yes I agree, I'm going to look for some tubing of some kind

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Hallo Gary, Sandy, and the boys! 'Stop' at 3.52: I find it really wonderful that Cunliff Boats are really taking care of your 'young boat problems'! The 'sneaky little problems' always seem to appear after a 'running in period', just like decades ago, with a 'rebuilt' car engine! Small problems will crop up, but that has nothing to do with 'shoddy workmanship', just the whole craft (Chuggabug) getting to be 'as one' with her new componants and parts!😊 She's like a 'new born', getting to come to terms with her 'inbuilt apparrell'! 😊😘😘😘😘👍✌

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

We feel the same, she's a living thing in our eyes and she's growing

[@garydye4270]

Just loved watching your manoeuver, reversing into the diesel point. Excellent boat-handling skills to the fore with no bashing or bumping. Must say when Vice-Captain Sandie emerged, I thought if she'd had a walking cane in hand, she might have burst into a rendition of "Puttin' on the Ritz". Cheers, Gary & Sandie.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Lolol somehow I just can't see Sandy singing hehe. I was quite proud that I got her in first time too bud

[@garydye4270]

What are you doing up and about at 4.25am?????

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Hehe the wind is pounding the boat and it's hitting the bank quite heavily so it's keeping me awake. A nice coffee and relaxing though

[@sonic3333]

Great vlog as always nearly caught up with all of them now.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Haha there's quite a few I'm afraid

[@originalpickaxe]

Someone should have told Collingwood about putting the ignition just inside the door...............try turning a frozen barrel when it's below freezing and you need the engine on ............out comes the anti-freeze spray......................

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Hi, it was Cunliffe but our ignition is actually in the bedroom all warm and snug hehe

[@janeabbotts]

Another lovely vlog. Your opening music is so relaxing, love it.....just wish it went a tad longer…:) Cheers.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

So glad you enjoy it Jane

[@stevesrepairs3815]

Thanks Gary for another lovely vlog mate, I hope Sandy gets well soon so have a great time. All the best, Stevie

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thanks Stevie... yrs Sandys shoulder is giving her some grief but fingers crossed they can do something

[@kathleenlench4087]

Love the quiet

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Sometimes music isn't needed I feel

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video bro, they look like Canada geese. I guess they made a wrong turn somewhere. Strangely enough we get them here in NZ too. My wife had a few days off work just recently with what the doctor said was a frozen shoulder, getting temps 30+ here so not sure how the frozen shoulder came about. All the best

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Aww I hope your wife gets better soon. Unfortunately we think Sandy may eventually need an operation to fix her shoulder

[@mischef18]

Back at work now but had 2 weeks of light duties, got her clearance last week

[@ronbearman7446]

Hi Gary Thanks for a nice vlog it looked a bit chilly out there hope Sandy gets on well with her shoulder You all take care looking forward to next one

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Thanks bud

[@kevinlloyd3000]

Another great vlog pal ..as usual :)

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Cheers Kevin

[@martinlloyd7563]

Hot off the press, great vid 👍

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Always bud hehe

[@hilarygibson3150]

Hope you are both nice and toasty on Chugs, have a good break!

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Really snug but I'm writing this at 3.30am as the wind is pounding us on the canal bank

[@hilarygibson3150]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips Yep, woke up early too. If it stays windy and you dont want to move, original offer still stands.

[@ancientmariner7473]

Great stuff! I'm short of memory as well..........too much rugby and alchohol perhaps......

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Lol... comes to us all

[@marksimms2650]

Hi gary.Sandy hope all's well another good blog mate. There definitely won't be any blogs from me and Lynne no one will want to watch us arguing take care mate

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I'm getting a lot of comments saying different matey

[@maobfh]

Gooses? GOOSES!?! Oh no. Body snatchers!! Both boats have been over powered! I am so sorry.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Hehe you've lost me there lovely

[@maobfh]

Gary Captain Phillips - sorry! I thought it was intentional. Foxes Afloat did almost the same thing, saying Goose, gooses rather than geese. I thought it was a running gag and jumped in. I apologize! There are vast differences between British English vs American English vs New Zealand English. I might have stumbled upon one without realizing. Call me stupid but I meant no harm.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Aww no worries lol... the English language is so diverse x

[@borderreiver3288]

you have a new tiller pin.....

[@ravaya]

Great little vid 👍🏻👍🏻

[@peterlane1510]

Great vlog again, nice & relaxing to watch. Sincerely hope Sandy gets her shoulder sorted. The wife has a similar injury (torn tendon) and that gives her a lot of grief. Very frustrating on the treatment front though cos all the physio could say was the injury was to be expected at her age!! She has had 2 direct injections into the shoulder which helps but only seems temporary.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Sandys sister had a similar problem and it was cured with an operation, thinking Sandy may be the same.

[@christinegibbins6105]

Thank you, hope Sandy gets on well with her treatment, love the quiet Chug down the cut.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I think I prefer it without the music too

[@chrisandjaneonnarrowboatpo3917]

Really enjoyed your video 👍. Many thanks from chris 👍

[@oni_lad_uno_tha]

Hi , I live on the same marina as you and I was wondering if I could have a shoutout in the next vid please ?

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

[@oni_lad_uno_tha]

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Oh yes... was his name Buster?...let me know your names and I'll give you a mention

[@oni_lad_uno_tha]

@@GaryCaptainPhillips yes it ai buster and our names are Declan and Chris

[@Shaz927]

Thankyou a big hug for Sandy hope she gets relief very soon love being a subscriber to your channel big hugs xoxox:)))

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

Aww thanks for being with us. Sandys got hospital later so I'll keep everyone posted x

[@davidwilkinson4799]

Hi Gary. I always watch but don't normally comment but I was moved by your statement 'Im in the best place in the world'. It was clearly very genuine and heartfelt. Take care.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I love the canals David, I only feel truly at home on the waterways bud

[@Mark-ct5dh]

It was great to see you and Ms. Sandy enjoying Chug’s! Perhaps Mark and Linda can do a cameo on your channel occasionally, just a thought.

[@GaryCaptainPhillips]

I'm certainly going to keep everyone in touch with their progress
