The other day Sarah blogged about a book called Narrow Boats at Work by Michael E Ware, where she'd found a photo inspiring her to lay chequered vinyl on her back cabin floor. She also suggested that copies of the book could be found very cheaply! And so it proved - I found a copy on Amazon for 99p and a few days later, my copy arrived.
It was a glorious day so I took my lunch out into the park behind where I
work, found a nice spot under a magnolia tree in full bloom, and sat
down to read it. It's a great book for historic boat enthusiasts like me
and James, because it has just the right balance of interesting text
with lots and lots of photos. I have spotted a lot of boats I know in
its pages, including one we've both steered, the large Northwich
Yeoford, in which we competed in the BCN Challenge.
That is really a great spot to sit down and read and relax! Too bad, i live where there are only apartments and concrete roads. Anyway, that sure looks like an interesting and fun book, will check it out on amazon. Thanks for the info.
