Yeh! Been watching it especially the African Queen bit which gave me a wry smile especially when she said "there's no one on the river" I couldn't help but think they're all hiding for fear of being hit by you.

Great fun watching them chunter up and down the reach between Mapledurham and Whitchurch.
Probably spent all day filming it.
Although African Queen is a decided liability in navigation terms, the owner is a very engaging character. I always exchange pleasant teases with him and he always takes it with good humour.
He's typical of British eccentricity, strange that, as he's South African!
I do hope they manage to keep their business above water (sorry !); there are so few commercial "trip boats" left, that it would be a shame if yet another one goes.
Now that he's found a home at Mapledurham, perhaps he's got waters where he can cause less damage..
