It's a good job I'm not a barge-spotter, I'd have to spend all day there (or up in our attic window). We get up between 60 and 100 vessels of varying sizes passing in both directions every day. The older Czech and Polish barges have oil engines that vibrate so much it even rattles the crockery in our kitchen at a distance of about 200 yards. The newer Dutch and German vessels tend to glide past with hardly a sound. Cheers Douglas On 04.03.2011 16:17, Jim Nichols wrote: > Nice place for a walk.
