Couldn’t believe how big it was inside, he’s been all over the UK waterways,
He started he’s travels last Christmas (2017) and has only just moored up now for a rest. He said he loved the Thames estuary, very tidal, he couldn’t believe how the boat struggled in the current.

Glad to see that youre making good use of your M2P.

I could imagine that his boat might need a tugboat from time to time, just like the QE. lol

Don’t get me onto tug boats, I love those little power units and what they are capable off. I’ve been fascinated with them since I was a kid I used to watch them with my dad bringing ships into port. Got my dad to thank for that, bless him

I built a scale model tug, just have to find the pictures. It was fun to drive, just slow!

Mine was 43" long and had a 13" beam. It was custom but similar to the one at 43s.
