Blast down the river this afternoon.

Odd looking creases in that jib.

Is what looks like the remains of a bawley, half-sunk/capsized, the same one as was opposite Melton Boatyard a couple of weeks ago?



Does anyone know the story behind it?

Oh dear, what a sad story. There are some pics of her in 'rebuild' at Southwold here: Name Alpha | National Historic Ships

Agreed: a sad story indeed. However, with the benefit of local knowledge & contacts I can assure that it’s an extremely one-sided one.

Indeed, a very sad story... Here is a pic I took in October 2018. At that time I didn't know her name. Presumably the mast was re-stepped at some point before she ended up where she is now?

We probably all need something a bit cheery this morning so...

Lovely summery pic. Is this Kirton Creek?

Thank you. Yes, looking across to “The Rocks”

Had a lovely Tier 4 compliant paddle out to the Nass Beacon today. Winter usually brings the welcome absence of motorised personal watercraft and the attendant vapour trail of aftershave, but it’s gratifying to see homo erectus romfordius is obeying the new set of rules.

Time seems to stand still there. I took this in the mid nineties. Can't be far off the same position

Bit more detail on this one. I give great thanks to the brave and dedicated souls that keep these boats going. Saving us from nothing more to look at than line upon line of AWBs
