Pisces

This rather fine looking boat was moored up in the centre of York at the weekend. The owner is just popping out for his lunch.

Portable Garden?

This houseboat has been pressed into service to transport a number of picnic tables and chairs for someone up the River Ouse. Either that or this young couple are expecting to entertain a large group of friends at their next mooring!
In the background are some of the old warehouses, now used as riverside apartments, and the HQ of the York Sea Cadets.

Red Serpent

You saw the prow yesterday, this brightly coloured serpent is the rudder of the same Viking boat. Next to the boat is a Viking encampment which you can visit to hear more about life in York 1100 years ago.The week started with snow on the ground so blankets furs and fires are much in evidence. Also trainers as Viking shoes are not so waterproof.
