    Bobbing Boat doesn't tell the whole story of #UK #canal #boat #licencing. It's not just length, there are different rates for private boats and hire boats. And I forget the arrangements for continuously cruising #liveaboard #boaters.

    I recall that the boats I owned a 1/12th shared in were classed as a #hireboat, although, typically, such boats cruised for about 48 weeks a year, while a typical holiday hire boat only cruises about 36 weeks a year, which is why I can understand the thought that length should not be the sole criteria.

    It's different again on the #NorfolkBroads. Licencing is on the basis of area (length x beam) and there are multiple classes with the biggest discounts for #yachts, smaller ones for auxiliary yachts, electric powered craft and so on. Not to mention different rates for hire boats.

    And just don't ask about the UK's Boat Safety Scheme! #BSS

  3. "Santa Baby" is a song performed by American singer #EarthaKitt with #HenriRenéAndHisOrchestra and originally released in 1953. The song was written by Joan Javits and #PhilipSpringer, who also used the #pseudonym Tony Springer in an attempt to speed up the song's publishing process. Lyrically, the song is a #tongueincheek look at a #Christmas list addressed to #SantaClaus by a woman who wants extravagant gifts such as #sables, #yachts, and decorations from #Tiffany.

    You’ll have to make some sacrifices for the economy.

    Economy = rich people’s yachts

    You’ll have to make some sacrifices for the rich people’s yachts.

    I wrote that a couple of days ago, but didn’t expect them to make it so literally true so very soon. 😞

  6. A couple of these yachts don't seem to have this "mooring" thing down properly. Shouldn't they be mostly *above* water?

  7. Fifty of the #world’s #richest #billionaires on average produce more #carbon through their #investments, private #jets and #yachts in just over 90 minutes than the average person does in their entire #lifetime.

  8. A boat disturbs the water

    As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂

  9. Masts and Mirrors

    I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.

  10. I spent the morning travelling down the #RiverAnt and up the #Bure travelling to the #HamptonSafari #BoatClub annual gathering at #Salhouse Broad.

    On the way I passed a couple of #yachts and have just posted the #sunset to #BBC #WeatherWatchers.

    I've been attending in the hope that the trip will supply more material for my Hampton Safari web site.
