Roger Anthony Cobley was my first passneger on the morning of May 28th.
He found out about the boat from the Birmingham Post.
They listed it as something to do if it ever stopped raining this weekend.
It was raining just a little.
But nothing we couldn’t handle.
Roger pointed out a small floating bird along the way. A Moorhen – he said.
Roger said his bowling club was named after the Moorhen.
Roger told me about another bird named the Coot. It looks like a Moorhen but with a white beek instead of orange.
Stay away from these – he said. Coots can be vicious.
