magnetman Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 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"

journeyperson Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 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. 3
Trevor Lyons Posted May 26, 2020 Report Posted May 26, 2020 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).

Alan de Enfield Posted September 7, 2020 Report Posted September 7, 2020 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. 2

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. 1

Excitement level is huge We'll look out for you; where are you starting from? The words "Middle Level" and "excitement" are not often juxtaposed.
