I'm so glad you don't...resist, that is! boats! great!

You must be an expert boat-ist by now... I bought a book on painting boats a while ago (Painting Boats and Coastal Scenery, by Robert Brindley). I'm not sure I didn't buy it as a procrastination manoeuvre, but I shall have to practise anyway. Yours is a very satisfying drawing, complete with ladder so one can actually board the vessel: a nice touch.

Very good Alan has an ‘antique’ feel to it.
