It was a joke. In poor taste in view of the poor owners loss, but a joke notwithstanding. Based on the assumption that the boat is still moored where it was left. Rog That said it is currently safe from disappearing down river without its rightful owners onboard.... 🤫🤐 There are 14 flood alerts across England at the moment;

Welly If you're going down the Trent w/e 31st March, we may well see you passing in the opposite direction - Keadby -> Torksey......

That it will sweep Welly upstream? I have been hunting for a picture I have seen somewhere. It was of a loaded barge caught at an awkward angle by The Aigre, rolled well over with the waves crashing over the decks. They tell me, that because of changes in the river, that the Aigre is not as strong as it was in the past but it still is not something to treat casually.

I remember it, but wasn’t that quite far down, beyond Keadby?

"The tide brought her up with great force and carried her athwart the anchor chains of the keels opposite Chapel Staith. In a few moments she rolled over bottom upwards, and two lives were lost. The man and a woman drowned were husband and wife, and on a visit to the captain. At the time of the disaster the woman was on the deck, and the man was below having a sleep. When the fouling took place, the woman might have escaped as did the men in charge by jumping on to the nearest keel, but with true devotion to her husband she rushed to the companion ladder to call him, and in that moment the keel overturned and sank, and she was carried down by the suction. The man’s body was recovered as soon as the keel was got up, but it was some time before they found the wife’s body. Poor things, I made both their coffins. That must be getting on for 40 years since now." www.gainsboroughheritage.co.uk/glimpses-of-old-gainsborough-1894-part-five/
