African Queen up for sale

Was once moored up behind him at Goring when I believe that he emptied out out his holding tank, judging by the sudden stence that appeared for about 5 minutes!
.
I bet the pong would have hung around for a lot longer than 5mins if he'd done the dirty deed and if you were downstream you would have received a brown plimsole line:D
Any holding tank without a charcoal filter on the vent can produce horrific results if the wind is in the right direction:disgust:
 
Its been for sale for a few years - or has it sold and come back up for sale.

Its shocking how its legal to skipper a boat that big not being able to see where you are going. Seems wrong really.
 
I originally thought the African Queen was up for sale because whilst on youtube, one of the recommended videos was one for the sale of the barge, which also had the appolo duck link posted earlier. I since realise this was probably an old video and advert.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it is still up for sale. As I remember it the asking price was ridiculous for a boat in which the skipper can not see where he is going. If it was on european inland waterways I think it would be illegal.

As far as I understood it his confirmed bookings this year was north of £150k .

Not what I would want to be doing with my life though
