Roston, Simpson, Milton Keynes, 2018 This boat had the sweetest sounding engine I have ever heard. I presume it was an old engine, but the hull didn't look particularly old. I couldn't find any information about the boat on internet. |

There is a bit of a story behind this photo. As I walked along the canal I stopped to admire this boat, it was immaculately clean and polished.
I got chatting to the owner and he showed me the removable bow extension. I've never seen anything like that before.
To get a photograph of this I had to cross over the canal and walk along a canal-side path past some private moorings.
Several people, men and women, on the moorings became offensively angry because I walked past their private mooring.
One guy even called me a, "piece of shit" and wanted to pick a fight, (bear in mind I am a quiet, grey-haired,
69 year old, pensioner). There are some strange people among the private moorings at Cosgrove.

Narrowboat with an unusual hull design, 2015 Although I find it unattractive, it must be much cheaper to build than a hull with curves. |
