Dav and Pen Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 In 2014 we had arrived back at our winter mooring the rather grandly named Pont Royal a collection of about 10 houses. Bruno who runs the B and B and looks after the port was playing with his little boat and the weather looks very nice. cant upload photos they keep coming out upside down, tried altering the photos but they still come out upside down. Any ideas this has never happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal for the boat show. Breakfast overlooking the marina and then a ferry ride to Southampton which drops you off almost at the entrance to the show.

Dav and Pen Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 In 2015 we were staying near Lake Winnipesaukee in Hew Hampshire. It’s a large lake of 69 sq miles. There was a vintage rally going on but we were a bit late and some had gone but these old Chris craft were still there. The trip boat Mount Washington does two trips a day round the lake. It was originally a steamer but the US Navy took the engine in 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 This day in 2010 and 2013. The first, 2010, photo shows a temple alongside the Han Gou Canal, which is on the left. This section of canal was originally built in 486BC The second photo is from 2013, and shows the boats and floating stage used for the open air performance of the Yangzhou State Opera - lots of loud noise, fireworks and laser lights were part of the performance.
