Full BOAT TOUR & CRUISE aboard STEAM Tug ‘THE DANNY’
The Danny or Daniel Adamson is a Steam Powered Tug that used to travel the Manchester Ship Canal. Join me this week as I spend time with the wonderful crew as they feed the boilers, trim the coal and get the engine room ready for a wonderful cruise along the River Weaver from Sutton Weaver to Acton Bridge. During the cruise along the River the crew cover a brief history of the Danny and show how the wonderful steam engines work.

Slowly heading back along the River Weaver towards the amazing Anderton Boat Lift I leave the floating pontoons at Northwich heading first to the water point which isn't too easy as a single handed boater (solo crew) due to the angle of the mooring. But with a bit of faffing I manage to get myself moored up in a way to be able to fill the water tank. I then continue to my mooring at the bottom ...

The Storm and strong winds put a halt to m...

LIVING ON A BOAT Challenges | Is it worth it?
Absolutely brilliant video Heidi! The Danny would be something we would love to see! Just to soak up the atmosphere of a vessel like that operating in this day and age is so incredible!
Nice to see you being featured on another of my favourite channels: Four Priests Brewery.
That looks like a great way to spend a day. Thank you
Aww Pamela, it was amazing 😃🏴☠️❤️
Heidi, I'm really digging your music!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
I love your shop and the other gentleman as well gosh so wonderful ❤ I have a switch bike as well I was amused when u said it took a few months before you received it, I ordered in October, and received the switch kit in February so it took mine awhile too 😊I really enjoy your videos❤
Thank you! And yes the wait for them is awful but wonderful once you get them … it’s made my daily rides to the post office a joy 😃🏴☠️
@TheNarrowboatPirate I agree I love the my switch bike for sure 🏍
Your videos never disappoint. I enjoyed the tour and ride on the “Danny”. Thanks ! ❤️
Thanks so much Jan 😃🏴☠️❤️
Hi Heidi, glad Bonnie liked her walk and you enjoyed sampling those beverages. Maybe on walks you could take a easy to carry bag for the kindling…just an idea. Hope you have sunny days and warmer weather. Ben From Australia 🇦🇺
You always a joy and we love you and your videos ❤
Thank you so much!! 😃❤️🏴☠️
Thanks Lovely Heidi for taking us along on this fantastic cruise onboard The Danny, it looked like you had a brilliant time on a lovely sunny day. Well done to the people that managed to get this historical Tug rebuilt and well done to all the great volunteers that crew this lovely old Tug. I hope that you and Little Bonny are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks Stevie 😃❤️🏴☠️
Wow that aqueduct is so so high but so beautiful to see everything , oh I love your pop up shop that is so cool thanks for letting me see your world❤
Tight entrance!!!😂
🤣🤣
Hi heidi hope your well xx
We just spent a week in the Bourgogne in France on A cruise boat. Absolutely fantastic. Envy your life style ❤
Wow amazing 😃❤️🏴☠️
Hilarious 😂
R.I.P. Custard . xx
It's just amazing that these people volunteer to work on this awesome boat. The steering is just amazing.... what happened for us to lose that amazing innovation and creativity.
I know, I loved this trip 😃❤️🏴☠️
WOOT…..I just became a Pirate!
Awww welcome aboard Janice 🏴☠️😃❤️
I feel so guilty sitting here in my nice warm bedroom while thoroughly enjoying your video….soooooo…sending you and Bonnie a nice warm hug from Georgia, USA. I absolutely love it when you play your accordion….your original music reminds me of a time worlds ago when life was so much simpler. Peace and love.
Thank you Janice 😃🏴☠️
What an incredibly clean engine room! I'm impressed. That takes a lot of work to clean and paint and lube and maintain. And those bi-directional props are beauties too. My 1939 wood boat (40-feet long with two gasoline engines had two propellers (opposite turning or bi-directional). My boat also had two rudders, one behind each propeller ... but the fellow in THIS video talks only about "THE rudder" as if there is only one rudder, when the boat has two engines and two props. Hmmm?? And ... yes, listen to and watch those engines, beauties indeed. And remember that that's what's happening inside your own engine too, on a smaller scale. 🙂 And that's why you need to maintain your own engine (which YOU do, you are excellent, Heidi) ... keep the oil full, replace the oil OFTEN, keep water coolant flowing, replace the air and oil and coolant filters at least as often as recommended (more often is better). Keep your engine clean so a technician can see where it's leaking (if it's leaking). Ha! no, not setting sail ... we're going cruising! Steaming up the canal! What a super cruise. And with a 7-foot draft according to those bow markings, the Danny probably needs to stay in the middle of the waterway. LOL! Heidi, you could say that you are a "HOOOOOOT"! What a gorgeous boat, engine rooms, and passenger rooms. What a gorgeous and well-produced video. Thank you.
Thanks luckily my engine is aircooled so only oil to worry about …. The Danny is a 9ft draft when full passengers onboard which is why they have been dredging the river … no chance on the canals though 😂😂😂
Same here - I've just finished watching episode 1! Enjoying this one Heidi😊
Aww these old videos make me cringe 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate When I come back to UK I have to go to that pub! Good to see dear little Puddin, so cute 🤡
I am tempted to mention how you had some fun "tugging" and got to "ring your bell". 🤭🤗😉 No "Rum Cruises"?! You could host it and have a pirate theme. Maybe make the worst one to walk the plank.
😂😂
WHAT WORK DO YOU DO
Shown in lots of previous videos - I make badges for school etc and also trade at festivals ruclips.net/video/UKKsa2gj03A/видео.html
Love watching you and your Frenchy watch a lot of no videos but yours is the best your so open and honest very rare keep safe
Aww thanks so much 😃🏴☠️❤️
Hi Heidi we are considering buying a houseboat in a marina and was wondering who builds the best quality houseboats in the North-West?
Have a look at my crick video if your gonna be in a marina 😃🏴☠️ there are some great floating homes on there …. If it’s a boat to cruise you want then that’s all personal preference 😃🏴☠️
Thanks 🙏 from Australia 🇦🇺
Cheers 😃🏴☠️❤️
Thanks 🙏
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
That’s my birthday present to me sorted. One of your best vlogs yet👍
Awww you will love it and thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
The best look around Crick Boat Show
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Outstanding episode Heidi!
Thanks so much 😃❤️🏴☠️
LOVED THIS! 👏🏻🎉 great and really interesting video of a beautiful boat! Will definitely book to have a trip when we are in the area 😊
It’s absolutely amazing 😃❤️🏴☠️
I enjoyed the tour of the Danny
NIMROD would have been a great background music for this video. Makes yer proud to be British!
Edgar’s nimrod ? I love that piece …. RUclips is a right ass about music though so I really have to be careful
A great vlog Heidi, the Danny looks like a great day out,thank you.
I loved it, thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Lovely, just lovely. Nothing like this in USA..
Thank you very much!
I dunno. I just love the sound of your boat. Quiet can be way overrated. Keep chugging on, Heidi!
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
Crying my eyes out. Cheers, Puddin.
Thank you ❤️
How do you dry clothes?
Loved the look of what you were cooking. Can you do some cooking on the boat videos please?
I’m a crap cook 😂😂
Fab episode! Maybe if current Navy n Merchantman young engineers were able t do Service time aboard such as Danny during their apprenticeships....the skills needed n interest in historic vessels like this would stay alive! "...as simple as that!" 😂
Love how quiet it is. Lots of love and care with that ship.🤟
It’s wonderful 😃❤️🏴☠️
Wow….what a fabulous journey I am taking with you. I am loving the tour, the music, and the 3 of you!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
Thanks Heidi for a great tour of the Danny, magnificent she is, missed Bonny though! cheers🥃
She was being spoilt at her nana and grandads 😂😂
Thank you for sharing the Danny. What a beautiful boat. Enjoy all the adventures you take us on!
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
I am soooo jealous, what a beautiful craft.
Yes, it really is 😃❤️🏴☠️
A lot of nostalgia for me. My Dad was a stoker mechanic in the navy and I got to visit a few engine rooms from exactly the vintage of the Danny.
Oh wow 😃❤️🏴☠️
Love all your videos, Heids, but this is among the most mental ones in a good while. Seeing the old-timers work the engine like an old pipe organ had my jaw on the floor. The chugging clockwork, the massive, hungry stoves, the calling system. That, is, insane. Makes me think of what life was like on the deepest decks of the ocean liners some 100 years ago...
Haha thank you, yes it was so wonderful to be part of it all 😃❤️🏴☠️
Full marks to all concerned in this presentation
Thank you 😃🏴☠️❤️
A great documentary. Heidi, you have outdone yourself. Very interesting story, amazing camera work, good interviews with the crew and guests. nice information and views of the engine room. I would be glad to take a steamy day on the river with Heidi any time.
Thank you so much! 😃🏴☠️
THATS A SPECIAL STEAM TUG
It really is 😃❤️🏴☠️
Hi Heidi it was a pleasure to show you around and show you what we do, all the volunteers work hard to keep the Danny sailing, which you superbly show in your video. Excellent video, super editing, a big thumbs up 👍 Cheers Ian
Thanks so much Ian, and thanks for your wonderful explaining and kindness that day …. Such a wonderful crew 😃❤️🏴☠️
