    Regarding COOTE, my daughter Sorrell didn't get it quite right. As other posts have confirmed COOTE was the boat's original name, registered at Tipton in 1909. Derrick Hughes, who converted her around 1970 called her ARIES. When we first saw the boat there was a great ram's head in the saloon, but happily Derrick took that away. Elizabeth and I didn't want to change the name but we wanted to recognise the original; hence ARIES ex COOTE. I'm glad later owners used just the original name, though the spelling remains a mystery. It was distressing to see the state the boat was in on the Little Ouse and I'm delighted to hear she's being restored to glory.
