Steam Boat!!

Yesterday (Saturday) was a relax day for me, catching up on bit’s and bobs. I was varnishing a small coffee table that I had made when I heard a boat just about to pass by and he tooted because of the blind bend. Toot, as in steam! I quickly grabbed my phone and stood on the rear steps and saw this lovely steam powered boat. I didn’t catch much as he’d already gone too far past me. I asked for another toot and was rewarded with one included in the footage below.

By the way, that cream coloured funnel actually hinges backwards so that the boat can pass under low bridges, of which there is one just around that corner.

Sorry about my finger which keeps wavering on the right hand side of the video.
