ProDave Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It seems to hinge on whether or not the boat was on a residential mooring or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just part of being Bristol. I think it’s fantastic.” And a shed that floats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Valley Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It doesn't look like the sort of houseboat that you could easily move or put on another mooring but more of a none moveable structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are similar sized “boats” on that stretch. In fact the “Thekla” is far bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the “Thekla” is far bigger As someone with a skippers ticket that looks seaworthy and easily capable of being moved - the other one didn't and maybe because it appears to be an attachment to the land rather than a vessel is one reason they were noticed.

At least Robin Gunningham did not have to go far to paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
