The barge which will soon by a house.  This barge has been welded up and keeps moving around the various boat yards.  I posted on instagram a picture of a floating pub and someone who commented turned out to be the person who towed this barge to its current location.

One day someone will convert to a house boat.

Its quite fun following its movements,   it was a sight in a marina about 8 miles down the coast and then one day it was gone,   then later we found it when flying over a another marina,    its now back in the sea.

That's so cool .

Nice capture!

Cool story. Good use for a drone, not only to capture corona party goers ;-)

Gotta agree with you on that point.

Gotta agree with you on that point.

Especially gloss that want to show lots of little speckles.

Oh yes, gloss is a b..ch to work with.  Much prefer the matte finish.

Im not sure if there was something in the paint or the brushes,  so I have new brush and new paint for later.  Wish me luck.

Up-cycling on a grand scale.

Up-cycling on a grand scale.

The grand designs one was moored for a while not far from here.  It actually broke free from the mooring and washed up on the shore.

Really? That factoid didn't make it onto the programme, I bet

No that happened a few years later,   they had trouble finding anywhere that would accept the boat so had to moor it in the thames.

I went past yesterday and its still there rusting and no movement.   Its moved around the river a few times in the last few years.   Fun fact we used to walk past it 8 miles further down the river and one day it was gone,  no sign anywhere,   Then out of the blue  guy left a comment on instagram on a barge photo Id taken,   it turned out he was they guy that moved it and had the pictures on his instagram to show it being towed.
