Thank you kerch! Photo attached is first time I noticed her.

PS Just for interest - you may have seen a photo I posted yesterday of a very young lad (looks about 7!) in a "pea green boat" - just noticed, to the right of the mast, in the background, is that same pea-green boat!

This boat has sunk again ,why do people buy a boat and then do n't maintain it ?.For me a boat is more work than a house.

How about this for a houseboat Kerch, or should I say 'shedboat' ;) :) The hull is that of an old lifeboat, the seven openings along the side are not scuppers they are there for oars, no engines in that hulls heyday, the old lifeboatmen had to row it!! Picture was taken when I was on my way to Blakeney Point on Tuesday.

I agree with you there Kerch, although I was told some of the local marine craftsmen weren't very happy with the owners just sticking a shed on the deck...I suppose it doesn't look very ship/boat like 8-)

The "shed "does look a bit odd,cheap way to get a cabin.

The 'Primrose', one of the boats on the South Walsham inner Broad, which is part of the Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden. I went yesterday and enjoyed a pleasant woodland walk 8-)

Oops! :shock: and it's too late now for me to remove it! Hope it will still be included in the next "Photo of the Month" selection (it's so good I posted it twice!) :roll:

The current posting will be eligible for nomination but the first one won't. Of course its inclusion depends on the person nominating.
:think: Now why did I think of Frank Sinatra when I read your post? :D
