Yes. I dug back into that weird string and found it. He said something
about being "an X in his case" which I took to mean that he once owned
a narrow boat. I'm afraid that they wouldn't like me either as I am
used to calling them barges also. If you look around the U.S. you will
find another of my fantasies: floating homes. They come in many shapes
and sizes from an old paddlewheeler that was converted into a home to
an old oil barge that has been cleaned up and rebuilt and had a home
built on it. There is a bunch of those in the S.F. Bay area as well as
up in Washington state. Talk about laid back...
And yes, that was the 'Canal Trip' that he posted. Quiet,
relaxing...but I found myself staying alert to read the texts that were
inserted here and there as well as watching all the people and
incredible boats that go by during the trip.
If you have more, please, when you have the time, do post.
Later...
