At first light this morning these guys turned up and started dropping pontoons into the water in front
of Rusty. It's a new terrace for one of the house boats round the corner.

Some time later they came back and dropped in another with outboard attached. They bolted that on the front of the line and started pulling the starter cord. And kept on pulling it as they drifted towards the boats behind us. By the time the cord broke they were just a few feet away.

But they were calm. They just walked it round and under the foot bridge with a nicely judged shove every now and then. Life is so much easier without tides.
