@The Happy Nomad - that's fascinating, it looks as though the 'cill' or step down is actually above the lock gates in the top picture. Is that right? It would be safer, you'd think, but prone to silting.

Nice Gansey

Here's a pattern for it, so you can knit one yourself. The pattern was taken from a gansey knitted in the 1930s by a L&LC boatwoman.

 a gansey

An interesting word which I assume is a corruption of "Guernsey".

It's also used in Jamaican English, as "ganzee", though I doubt that they need to wear one very often down there.
