They ain't all bad
      #1905231 - 24/06/2008 09:15

A couple of days ago a certain respected member of this Forum stopped by and identified himself. I confess to being in a cold sweat in case some took and published a photo because his boat is a rather large NB.

However! I have to tell you that all NBers cannot be all bad. While chatting it emerged that he too uses John Deere equipment on his land.

I never thought it would be you that would betray me Sam. You of all people, one I thought of as trustworthy too.

Actually I'm in double trouble. That particular NB isn't the one. The one shown was part of the Thames Valley Cruising Club's Rally to Ashmount last weekend. That means in two days I had two NB's stop.

True.

Give it a couple of months, and Byrons will look like a Gypsy theme park...the Beetle and Wedge will sue for loss of view, and that old EA launch will sport a full length steel roof and a new name like 'Dunroamin'

Ah, the MDL metre...My 7.62 metres became 7.70 metres...

Now it's funny you mention Coracles, but I took one for a test drive last month



Trouble is, I didn't know which end to moor up....it's didn't have any

Did I say 'Old EA launch'? er....I meant 'Classic neo-historical official vessel'
