It's an unofficial celebration of 200years for the L@L. Apparently Crt tried to stop it happening by making out they needed a trade license. So it's definately not working! The guy on the back is David low who was involved in some of the last commercial trade on L&L.
I'm just happy they have cut a channel for me to leeds. They are about 2inches lower in the water than me.

Nice and sharp! And now we see your boat - a stealth boat for a snowstorm!

Thanks for the praise for the photos, they are snaps taken with an iPad. But you get a good look at a beautiful boat "Ribble" I thought some of you might like to see the boat . It's a good thing they are doing and the couple who own Ribble are lovely people.
Naughty fox, I'm in the process of painting my boat at the moment.
