For Peter bargemast A39. With pictures. Unfortunately I have not been down that way by boat for quite a long time due to health problems. About fuckin time!!! π‘π‘ You are right Andy, maybe they will be new photo's for some other people, but I had all of these photo's already copied on my laptop since about 3 weeks or a month. I discovered them underneath an ad for another boat for sale on eBay and copied them, as I had given up any hope of ever seeing the photo's that mm was going to make. I'd given up following the TB forum because of several reasons, of which one was (and still is) I'm very sad to say, the lack of respect for other forum members postings, and the endless writing of "broken record" texts, that aren't helpful to anyone, I didn't post my findings. It started to look as I was about the only, or one of the very few people, that was interested in the thread of the L & L boats at the time that I gave up, and was sad to see that hardly anything had happened on there since I'd left. Cheers, Peter.

I have been past there on the road opposite the sister ship of LAKE but have not been past on the boat recently. Worth noting that the last time I was moored there was during the flooding last winter when my priority, strangely, was to move the boat up river as soon as the red boards went down rather than taking pictures of a virtually completely hidden boat. Here is the LAKE sister ship courtesy of Google streetwise. As you can see it is almost completely obscured by the Colecraft. Unfortunately they have now removed the lantern style wheelbox, which I really liked, and it has not been replaced. I am not the type of person to approach people I don't know and ask if I can climb on their boat to take pictures. I wonder if anyone has done drone footage around there. That might be worth looking into.

That might be worth looking into. That looks like an interesting section of the river, looking at the boats that are tied-up there, as I can see a small part of a bow, likely a Luxemoter, and a nice Tjalk bow at the other side of the sistership of "LAKE". Your heavily tattooed friend would surely love to help you out, and go for a little spin with his boat to allow you to take some photo's while he's away warming-up his engine before he changes it's oil Btw, wherabout are these boats moored ?

goo.gl/maps/yCqssoeK9TcRR2ct7The street view image was from 51.406625,-0.493392 4allmarine 4allmarine.co.uk/Loads of nice boats there. If my life had gone right I would have ended up working somewhere like that. When I first started living on a boat early 90s that was a derelict boatyard "Harris's". Someone got the lease (still belongs to the original owner) and has built up a really nice business always lots of cool boats in there. Mostly steel and iron boats.

Another Street view this time of the boatyard and the moorings opposite. Coincidence that the "DB Elisabeth" is there. That's the rather nice looking modern "replica" with no forward visibility which we discussed before.

Seen it already, has been advertised since several years in France, and I've even seen sales ads in Belgium, so far they've not managed to find someone willing to pay their asking price www.leboncoin.fr/nautisme/1861522784.htm

The barge Nidd has been on the move lately I saw 2 photos of it at Berry au Bac a couple of weeks ago. Itβs a useful size under 20m so no certificate needed (yet)
