The Elephant Boatyard in the FT

Escape Special: inside the Elephant Boatyard

December 1987, I was 16 years old, had a few pints in the pub next door, back then you walked along the wall to your moored boat, a Westerly Fulmar, on the Elephant pontoons, used the little tub on a rope to get over to the boats.

Blind drunk, bloody good luck I didn't drown or die of exposure. Sick all over the cabin floor.

If, on my dying bunk, I am so judged, my life will be complete. Thank you for the quote.
