A Funny Little Boat

Ploughing through The Minch on a mad October day.... Actually it was a pretty calm day which is just as well. It certainly didn't look like a boat made for heavy seas.

  1. It reminded me of a 'Dirty British coaster with its salt-caked smoke stack butting through the Channel in the mad March days.
    Can't imagine why since the only common factor is the likelihood of it being British.... But just thought I'd share that.

  2. So you don't think it's a quinquereme then?

  3. OK, OK so I thought a quinquereme was a 5 masted barque and not a galley with 5 banks of oars. I can't get everything correct. Mind you I wish I could get a bit more correct.
