A couple of boat pix, the first, a Severn Barge, one of two surviving examples. One man and his dog live on the barge full time. The dog is a large white Alsatian which jumps on his masters shoulders and is carried up the ladder onto the boat whenever they board. You can just see the owners head to the left of the stern.
The second is Astute, on her maiden voyage from Barrow to Glasgow, November 2011. In the background is Piel Castle, which sits on an island in the main channel, 'guarding' the approaches to Barrow.
