Barge into Waveney River Centre

The return of Alan & Muriel's barge was certainly a sight to behold from my vantage point by the marina entrance.

Unfortunately at 80 tonnes (and 80 feet long), Adjo was a bit too big even for our boat lift, so a trip to the Excelsior slipway in Lowestoft was called for, as it was time for a bottom scrub & touch up.

Apparently 1 horse can pull her along - but it takes 100 to stop her - but even 100 horses are no match for Alan, as you can see from the picture.

Next time they should try using a fish instead of a horse - they make better swimmers as a rule.

So long pikeys!
