Thanks. 

 

I always liked the look of the old lifeboats with the whaleback deck. Very satisfactory. I was unaware of the interior space practicalities until I bought this boat though. It really does "work"

You never know who is watching you. The other day I came across this short video of me on my first narrowboat Egretta from 6 years ago. I have no recollection of this person standing there with his camera but it was good to see it.

This is my river barge (here shown as an immobile live-aboard on the Trent & Mersey at Longport Wharf). She's now out off the water being prepared for a road trip to Reading, and thence via the Thames to France.

 

Note the very fine signwriting showing her new name, the artist being Mick from "A-Z sign writing", Werrington, Stoke-on-Trent (07973 193320‬).

Finally got ours finished and ready to go. Not a bad job but I'm pretty chuffed.

I will look out for her on my (currently roadbound :P ) travels!

Despite rain every day (bar 5) in the last 6 weeks slowly coming to the end of the painting.

Started painting when the rain stopped at lunchtime today, got a coat on one of the walkways and the heavens opened again.

 

Another 4 or 5 dry days should do it.

Fuzzy was a Dawncraft, I think the cover was by Topps canopies. Fuzzyduck himself left the forum in 2012 after being let down by a lot of people who couldn't attend his birthday get together for one reason or another, myself included - moving boats out of Audlem for a broker.

We'll look out for you; where are you starting from?

The words "Middle Level" and "excitement" are not often juxtaposed.
