If it looks like the same boat whenever you look out is it because it’s one of they CMers?

 

and when I’m not looking is it not there?

and earlier [9Aug2013] just after it was painted. Hmmmm. The plates have been swapped. Hmmmm -  IIRC, on the Yorkshire side, from a boat headed for Liverpool the plate that first you see tells the steerer ho far it is to Liverpool, and looking backwards how far have come from Leeds. Perversely, the plates on the Lancashire side are t'other way around. Anyway, this one is now inconsistent with the Yorkshire-side scheme ..

I'd be surprised if many people take their boat out of the water to maintain it there... 🤣

Nice to see families enjoying the canal.
