This weekend is a joint birthday for the Beverly Preservation barge Syntan at 70 years old and Sabina H at 90 years old The exact launch date of both boats is unknown so this weekend has been adopted as their "official" birthday. gathering of boats in the Beck with "Comrade" at the top and Sabina at the other end just outside the (unfortunately just too small) lock' Quite a lot of boats here for the weekend and I will walk along later and get some photos Sabina H all dressed up (including the nearest I could get to a Thunderboat bunting)  SAM_2237 by mudlarker2, on Flickr  SAM_2239 by mudlarker2, on Flickr |

What about a couple more photos of Sabina ... you've not really caught her best side in that one shot. Happy birthday Sabina H , although I suspect there's an element of 'trigger's brush' in there with all the good works you've done  Rog |

Happy birthday to Sabina, have a great day John. Please do post some photos of more lovely proper boats, There are far to many sewer tubes where I am now, so I could do with a fix.

Thanks for posting these photos John,
Can't tell you how much I would have loved to be there to see it all through my own eyes.
As this isn't possible, the (pile of) photos you're going to post will have to do, as a substitute.
Sabina really doesn't look her 90 years of age, she may praise herself lucky that you took pitty on seeing her on the bottom, and saw her potential.
The only thing that's a bit of a shame is the surely useful, but ever so unsightly oildrums on the stern.
I wish you and Sabina a most enjoyable w.e.
Peter.

Happy Birthday to a fine old boat, and I must say what a motley crew gathered in the last pic ( apologies to all, only kidding)

will try and get some better pictures today Thanks a lot for the posting of all these pictures John, the more detailed ones of "Vulcan" are very interesting, she is a beautiful old girl that's lovingly maintained. Looking forward to the new pictures that you're going to put up. Thanks in advance for these. Peter. |

Third time lucky??
Signal so bad I've responded many times now and failed to send - so given up with all the verbiosity - belated happy birthday to a grand old lady of the waterways.
Hope you had a great weekend, John (and pals!).
