A tale of The Good the Bad and the Ugly (with several pix)

[drewstwos]

Hi All

Here's a tale of the good and the bad and the ugly. The good. IMHO is what a proper cruising motor boat should be. Of course we all have our favourites, but this is one of mine.

The place you will already have recognised. won't you, of course it's the Albert Dock in Liverpool.
The next is the ugly. A war time DUKW. which takes the tourists round the docks in the water and then into the city centre to view the goings on there. When I was there it was taking a load of ladies on a hen party outing. The noise was unbelievable. They had a life size blow up naked male doll in there with them and were, dare I say, flaunting it to all and sundry.

After it had gone past

And lastly the bad,,,,,, well it was a bad day for the owner.

Oh dear.... how did it happen? The divers put an oil retaining boom round but I think as it was a yacht judging by the bit of the mast showing aboue the water, wouldn't have a great deal of diesel on board

That water was cold even with a dry suit on, so a hot drink was the ordr of the day.

Bless 'em !!!!!!!!

Looks like a big old motor sailor to me, probably a load of diesel on board.

Sure the blow up Male was not a safety device?
