Thanks for posting, Rick.
They're just cosy, all tied up together. A narrowboat will have an engine, although the smoke you can see rising will be from solid fuel stoves for cooking and heating. They do run their engines while moored for a while to charge batteries. They will all be individual craft, they wouldn't tow other narrowboats, too unwieldy. The longest ones are 70 to 80 feet long, each one about 6 feet wide. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
