After a weekend in the poly tunnel, here’s the final pictures for now of the transformation of the Jam Butty to the Waka Butty

Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next instalment

Yesterday we made more progress on the Waka Butty, it’s our final day in the poly tunnel today, she’s not going to be finished but a good start made on her transformation

With Storm Claudia raging outside, the transformation of the Waka Butty continued yesterday.

Today’s plan is to start the top coats on the cabin and cratch board, any guesses for the colour scheme?

Heating up steamship Turso in Helsinki. There is 32 cubic meters of water so the heatup takes roughly two days, and two tons of coal.

You will find pics and video of the work in this 🧵 and more stuff about the ship itself with #ssturso and www.turso.fi

Nursing a sick van back to Aylesbury from Bournemouth booked into a garage tomorrow
On the positive side as we’re currently between 2 Lock closures with no fuel boat, we’ve managed to stop enroute and top up with coal from B&W Fuels

We bought a butty! Ure is a 1960 "River class" butty built in Brentford by E C Jones and named after a river in Yorkshire. We've not moved aboard yet as we've lent her to the fuel boat team so they can serve customers either side of the Apsley stoppage.
