MMMM looks good! She’s got a nice set of teath there!

I like that camera angle, damned difficult on the water though(chin in the water trying not to get a couple of hundred quid’s worth of camera wet!) I was just thinking, if I made a camera "barge" at some point some very interesting shots might be achievable. This needs more thought (and maybe a drink or two).

By the way, happy new year to everyone on the forum.

[Mark ReidParticipant @markreid81423]

I was looking at my Thames barge when the idea came to me, something of a similar broadness and with a weighted keel so it would sit it low in the water and give a slowness of motion(no sails though!!!). not quite my Kearsarge and Alabama which are my next project but something that could quietly take shape along side. More thought and maybe another glass or two(after all,I wasn’t able to touch a drop over Christmas). A tug hull would be ok but they often bob about like corks.
