Canal Boat - MEASHAM - length 17.7m. (58ft.)

11th. November 2007 - Towing the shell from Shackerstone to Stoke Golding Wharf
Beginning the journey under a cloudy sky, but the weather forecast promises better conditions later.
The shell of Measham was tied "tight" so that it would follow the towing boat closely.  
John at the tiller, (I think I might have fish fingers for tea).
The sun has come out by the time they get to "Bridge 36".

 

The "crew" bringing the new shell back to the boatyard at Stoke Golding Wharf so that it can begin its fitting out process.
The crew consisted of Doreen, Jennifer, Geoff and John, experienced "boaters".
Just passing over the viaduct at Shenton.
This is where I have to put the camera down and catch the rope to assist in mooring up the "convoy" in order that Sunday lunch can be enjoyed.

 

 Just checking.
You can see that the tiller has been fastened  in a "neutral" position for towing.
