Alvecote Historic Boat Gathering - Day 2 - Sunday


(Boat Sickle - posted by Alan)

In the interests of getting something published, I'll start with a "pictures only" version of Sunday too.

Twins!
Keeping an eye on what's going on.
Chimneys, cans and other paraphernalia.
A nice touch

Laplander steams off to start the daily parade.
Sickle was second today - Reginald prepares to follow us.
This is what Josher bows really look like - modern "replica" builders please look again!
Certainly an impressive line up.
Getting ready to leave the marina.
View back towards Samuel Barlow - Reginald now following.

  1. Your second photo captures Willoughby just before, confronted by a second dog at the stern end, he fell in!

  2. Yes,

    Cath said Jim retrieved cat from marina, only to dump it dripping on your rather decent camera!

    Did it survive, (the camera, I mean - clearly the cat will have!.....)

We have changed some settings, so hopefully now possible again. Comments will be moderated, and you will need to enter word verification.
