    Last night Lex and me made  2 boats from bits of wood, I put her in charge of ballast, Filled a bucket up with water and explained what it was all about, So she go's in my drawer of bits of metal brackets big washers and stuff like that while i crafted Lillys boat from a bit of 4x2, meaning i chopped the corners off and made it boat shape, I watched Lex banging nails and screwing screws with the drill,
    Off she went and placed it in the bucket, well she burst out laughing as it sank to the bottom,
    Then comes out with Titanic is a 5 hour film  What are you doing today?? - Page 30 3275847336 , she shed some ballast until it looked level all round,
    Today we are going to the victorian boating pool at the foot of Ilkley moor just down from the white house or old plunge pool bathing house, We used to go there when small, but we never had boats so we used to watch the rich kids playing,  What are you doing today?? - Page 30 3913804730 Should be a laugh  What are you doing today?? - Page 30 3025408739

    Ballast deep in the keel, hence why they stuff the Africans in the hold in their bid for a better life........ Go on, shoot me down. That boat seems to have been built up a bit on the original deck, not ideal. And some buggers nicked the water.......

    I'm amazed today, I ain't got a hangover after our ale trail trip,,, our plan was to head further than our normal Huddersfield destination, so tickets were purchased for Dewsbury,,, off we set from Manchester Victoria as per plan at 10.58, well  all except one, he missed the train, he caught up with at our first stop, Stalybridge, then it was every village for a beer or two  until Huddersfield, there was a big food and drink festival (including live music) going on in the big square in front of the station, so feed and watered we head of to Dewsbury, well all except one, the lad who was late at Manchester had only purchased a ticket to Huddersfield not knowing our plan to go further, automatic ticket gates at Huddersfield station would not let him through, so off he set to purchase a ticket, none of us knew this was happening, until we got a phone call saying he'd missed the train (again), he called it a day then and headed back to Manchester, the rest of us had a rethink and decided Dewsbury was to far and got off the train at Mirfield,,, mistake, we'd googled a canal side pub, got there it was in the middle of an industrial area, we'd a hour or so to put in before the next train back to Huddersfield, so a few pints were downed in the beer garden, back to Huddersfield the live music was still going on so we'd time for a quick one pre the train journey back to Manchester, now traveling makes you thirsty, we didn't make Manchester, we were due to pass Stalybridge about nine thirty, we knew there would be live music on in the Q Bar, so off the train it was, we had two hours to put in pre the last train, amazingly we caught it...

    That boat isn't floating Vince. They put water in every now and again for appearances sake for the tourists and also to keep the timbers in good nick...they were letting more water in while we were there. Re ballast, if you ever visit the East Fife fishing villages, you'll find all the roofs are red pantiled slated. They brought these back from the low countries back in the day when we were in the Hanseatic League. They were used as ballast then sold for roofing whwn they arrived back in port. King's Lynn was in that league too... What are you doing today?? - Page 30 294053457

    Indeed there are still some pantiled places in Kings Lynn, and what is possibly the oldest house in this village too. So what did we take to Holland on the outward leg, was it bricks?
