Boats - an open thread

Very nice capture Pete, I love strolling & snapping around that area. I find the barges fascinating old things and very photogenic.

Thanks George.
I spoke to a chap who was refurbishing an old steam boat at the far end of the quay.
He was doing it for nothing! Sheer labour of love.

That must be something that is very rewarding if you have the time & skills.

With my satnav, it would be, "Proceed to the route"!

I spotted this canoeist from the clifftop enjoying a paddle alongside the cliffs at RSPB Fowlsheugh, Aberdeenshire.
Think he spotted me as well

Definitely a fishing boat conversion.

Very few at this particular creek seem to used for the original purpose.
Mostly they're barges used as general living accommodation.
The one shown is a more grander.
