Something different . . .

I skippered a friends boat out of Cardiff and took her to Bristol on Sunday - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX49MBpFlvo

Nice.You passed me coming down the river Ely.I commented on how un-smokey and healthy that engine was.

amazingly evocative sound of a really slow revving engine. And the boat makes scarcely any wash !

Saw her in the city docks, Bristol, today.
Should've had my camera or phone with me!
Interesting looking boat, where is her usual mooring?

The engine has quite a bit of work over the 7 years my friend has had her. Engien sounds great and she handles very well for her size. She will be berthed outside Albion Dockyard for the foreseeable. Where she was built all those years ago!

Unlike the modern Port of Bristol tugs! :disgust:

Lovely noise.
Are you going to take some video of the Port side too?
