Was it heading towards the K&A to join its friends?????

[Martin Megson]

Interesting. Maybe it dives when a CaRT inspector arrives

[oasistoo]

It has a smiley face. I would capitalise on that.

I would have loved that when I was 18 or so.

There is several of them in London so it has quite a few friends on the system. There is one that has been on the visitor moorings at Kensall for over a month now and has it's own small scrap yard set up next to it on the towpath.

 

I also had to rescue one from the middle of the River Lea. When I asked a few people from surrounding moored boats to give me a hand to re-tie they told me not to brother as the owner only uses one pin so it floats off on its own ever day.

I've been watching that being built on and off for the past 8 month. Nice photo.

It looks like the one there was a shot of on the introduction to George Clake's small spaces.

Too many windows. Probably got a cassette bog as well. Naff.

Looks like it's tough enough to survive going over a weir ok! If I had it I'd just walk downstream every night until I found it again

Given they drop them 150ft into the water from rigs I doubt he really needs all those tyre-fenders....

I agree. Must be like cruisin' in a goldfish bowl.

 

HAY, nuffern wrong with cassette bogs!

WHALE! GREAT WHITE WHALE!

 

Oh, no, sorry.

The guy that owns it had it moored next to our boat for a while. He has a king size double bed in the front of the thing.

I sit corrected.

[peterboat]

You left the "h" out

For some bizarre reason the more I look at that, the more I have taken to it. I think with a bit of artwork it could be quite amazing.

[Neil2]

Near where my sister lives (in NE Scotland) there is/was a field full of these things. Every so often a load of them come up for sale on ebay.

[Peter Reed]

For sale on the duck http://narrowboats.apolloduck.co.uk/feature.phtml?id=282352

What engine would such a boat likely have in it?
