Saw her again this evening moored by Hammertons ferry in Twickenham.

I sailed past her several times but did not see much
sign of life on board. I think they must have gone ashore for a curry.

She will presumably be heading downstream through London tomorrow morning.

Don't need one as a visitor, you just have to swear that the vessel complies with regulations; not sure if you have to show third party insurance either.

Are YOU going to ask them?


'Excuse me, but do you have a BSS for 'dat vessel?'

'Load tube one...... '

'Err, forget it...lovely looking boat...Here! Have a free visitor pass and a Gold lock pass which enables you to jump the queue at locks and......'

The Gold Lock pass .... now that's a good idea !!

Don't the passenger steamers already have one of these ?

Yeah, I had a look at the 'out of hours' power key, which in some cases is just a chunk of steel tube...

Reckon I could make me one of those
