People do odd things

[Jrtm]

Met a boat today just before grove lock gu.

 

We tied up under a bridge with gusts of wind flowing threw the bridge. While trying to paint there intire boat front to back all doors off ect.

 

Then with the paint still wet and the sides covered in dust decided to go for a cruse but leave all the doors behind at the bridge then few hours later came back and tied back at the bridge.

 

What an odd thing to do why go to all the effort of finding a bridge to then just go on a cruse why not do it in the open where it was actualy not windy than in a windy bridge hole

[GoodGurl]

maybe they were turning round to do the other side?

[Greylady2]

Maybe they ran out of paint and had to go get some more ?

 

Lol

[Jrtm]

Nope both sides were done was very odd

[harve90]

Maybe they were just doing a dry run.

[Chewbacka]

Maybe they went very fast to create a drying draught

or they didn't like the smell and were trying to get away from it.

Any boats reported stolen recently? ;-)

[zenataomm]

^^^^^^ beat me to it

[Jrtm]

This was my first thought but was too well done as they had all the doors off every window masked everything off the boat and cleared away they were really going for it all 4 people on board

True.

 

Almost as odd as buying an ancient wooden narrow boat instead of a steel one. I've heard there are some real nutcases out there!

[Jrtm]

Yes there are could be worse could have bought they could have had a bolinder fitted.

 

It was the way the dust was going all over it even just passing you could see the dust in it.

Perhaps they went for a cruise because they don't like watching paint dry.

This reminds me that on our recent trip out we saw 'Que Sera Sera'. I did not think to ask the couple on it if it was the same one that had been stolen.

On the ashby just up from ashby boats?

 

Same one that was stolen yes, been there since being recovered, covered in tarp but not much going on every time I have passed it this year.

Eh?

 

The stolen "Que Sera Sera" was never recovered, or so the board believes...

But there are plenty of boats about called Que Sera Sera.

Ah yes I'm thinking of the other one, cally Hannah I think?
