a mast

Too many bridges, a large marine diesel, with turbo chargers in it, small propeller to keep to the speed limit.

 

There was someone else a few years ago who was building alongside the Thames up that way. Can't remember what happened to them.

No.

That was the Olympian Helen Glover, a fair Penzance maid.

I am about half a mile from her Golden Post Box at the moment.

Sorry, yes a mast is a little optimistic.

 

Apologies to the original poster, very rude of me. Welcome and good luck
