Duck Jokes

A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender for corn. The bartender says “We have no corn, get out of here.” So the duck leaves.

The next day he comes back and asks for corn again, and the bartender says “I told you, we don’t have any corn! Get out!” So the duck leaves.

The next day he goes in again and asks for corn, and the bartender says, “For the last time, we don’t have corn! If you ever come back, I’m going to nail those webbed feet of yours to the floor!” So the duck leaves.

The next day the duck comes and asks, “Do you have any nails?” The bartender says, “No, of course not. Why would a bar have nails?” The duck then says, “Good. Then can I have some corn?”

Today we snapped this pic as the mighty Voyager was slowly hoisted out of the Brisbane river.

In preparation for her first Gold Coast dinner cruise, scheduled for the 30th October, Voyager will undergo routine maintenance and a bit of an upgrade. Including new paint work, carpet, timber decks and new tinted windows. We're also upgrading our on board commercial kitchen and installing more air conditioning for extra comfort.

Voyager's premier Gold Coast cruise will set sail from Marina Mirage on Saturday 30th October and includes a 3 course meal served to your table, a 3.5 hour scenic cruise & live entertainment.

One of the many highlights onboard our Rivers High Tea Canal Cruise is the chance to feed the animals. From the safety of our vessel, Saphire, you can feed dolphins, birds, fish and other marine life as you journey on your 1.5 hour cruise around Surfers Paradise. Pictured above are just a few of our passengers feeding the birds as they travel on the sunny waters of the Gold Coast.

There are three cruises daily, which include either breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. To book, phone (07) 5527 6361 or for more info, visit: http://www.rivers.net.au/gold-coast-canal_cruises.htm
