Sat and watched a Freeman, Sealine, four canoeists and much debris float by at Marlow Today - we were not brave enough to try ! About to burst bank on the Hurley side.

My boat is here in time for winter....
 
little suprises vs long journey

Always found the further you travel the bigger the pile of junk that awaits you.
Went to look at a boat built by JCL marine the geezer wanted 30k for it.Prob worth 3k and well past its sink by date.Worst waste of 350 miles by me ever.

And here is the weekend weather..
 
Re: little suprises vs long journey

No.one of the other semi Italian style thingies.Impossible to see out of side of wheelbox.Had been scuttled off canvey island 20 odd yearas ago.,Raised by insurance co and sold on.Precious little had been done since.Awfull mess inside.Chap actually wanted money for the heap.Located on canal Nr Worchester as i recall,Might have been asking 35k.

And here is the weekend weather..
