A Report on Sandbags

by: Jenny K.

As Skipper of the day I take my responsibilities very seriously.  

Here I am inspecting a Company of Sandbags which had arrived by punt from Dudbridge lock where they had been seconded to shore up the stop lock.  This unruly bunch received a severe dressing down for having left the punt (Aquilla) in such a sorry state. 

After a suitable retribution had been extracted Steve and I attended to Aquilla's mortal needs.  

Then to avoid further indignity we hitched her to Goliath and removed her to Ryeford Warf having re-homed some reprobate sand en route.
