This is probably one of my favourite photos but not sure if it'll qualify for a bottle of rum. It must have been taken in the mid to late 60s as he died in 1971 when I was 4.
My Grandpa on one of his little runabouts, you can just see the bow of another one at the bottom of the pic. The location was Hoo Mill lock on the Trent and Mersey canal where they lived and had a hire boat business.
The train track embankment in the background looks fairly new and is now over grown with trees and vegetation which may give an indication of the date.

I think Hugo needs to dish out at least 17 bottles to various photo providers in this thread. Except @Elessar …he bought his own bolly!

Was that quite a unique thing to do back then? Certainly a fine looking craft ?

I fear we are getting close to boring Bouba beach pics ?
