I believe the guy/he is a she. Is it the pink ? I was about to say there are 3 things amiss, yes, tasteless. Shouldn't you be using a Thames Lighterman's Hitch? And neatly hanging the coiled line on the bollard? Amateur!

Perhaps just as well I don't have the Watson any more, so tempting to sod off on a round Britain!

One of my boating dreams. Probably a bit of a nightmare in a 40 year old Colvic 20 though. Much as I hate rags and sticks I suspect it would be a very useful thing to have for a circumnavigation of GB. Doable without but every harbour stop would be the beer hunt then the diesel hunt. Or maybe the other way round.

"Ah but, last time you had a sodding off option you only got as far as Bozeat (thankfully!)"
The longest journey starts with the first steps, I just didn't do many of them!!
'come home to a real fire, buy a house in Wales'
Francis the Digger driver in Llanfair Caereinion said " You won't have a problem buying here, I'll keep an eye on it and anyway, you are an ordinary working bloke, not a Solicitor or Doctor from Birmingham"
Then the estate agent advised me not to go ahead with the purchase as the trussed roof had been butchered to make a workshop area.
So Bozeat it was and you 3 being still lumbered with me.
Well, weekends anyway!

I'm bothered by the way the coamings have been cut to make it easier to get onto.
