A RARE SIGHT ON THE MIDDLE LEVEL

Featured Posts

I was delighted, an hour ago, to see (and hear!) n/b's Petrel and Oberon chugging determinedly past the end of our garden, heading in a Great Ouse-wards direction. A bit of internetting suggests that Petrel, which is in carrying condition, is an ex-FMC craft (now in Orion Carriers company lettering) and that Oberon, which has a full-length cabin and blue & yellow BW livery, is a modern Brinklow Boats replica. A bit of listening suggests that both have Listers.

I wonder, are they simply on a leisure trip or is there some sort of rally or boat gathering in these far-flung parts?

The original "Oberon" was sunk at Sutton Weaver, sadly she ended ip with another boat sunk across her, this broke her back. For years the cabin was visible at a crazy angle and still displaying the name, sadly now not much left.
