Here's another boat seen on the Coventry Canal in April, rather longer than yesterday's offering.
This is Ethel, sans rudder, at Streethay Wharf. Isn't the signwriting on the stern flashes wonderful?
The cabin paintwork has suffered; unfortunately it looks as though the timbers underneath are deteriorating.
The Historic Narrow Boat Club gives the following details: Ethel was built as a butty with an iron hull by Yarwoods in 1930.
Day 1 of our hols and not the best start.

April 17th
A break in the weather at last and a great morning to set off in MB. Took
far longer to reach our destination though, not because of traffic,...
