  1. pity it wasnt that shipwreck of an ” arts ” barge , i would like to know whos paying for the mooring of that rusting hulk ?

    • Oh the barge known as Vriendscrap !

      Was told its due to be on the slipway this summer, for hull shot blast, paint and other nautical work.
      Open for business mid 2023 so worth a visit.

      Yearly Mooring fees, paid by the artsbarge company. Probably around £5k+
