"Clent" and "Christopher James"

On Saturday 21st I went to Braunston for the National Community Boats Association AGM. With half an hour to spare before the meeting I stopped to have a quick look at Pete Boyce's yard. Nearest the road were BCN tug "Christopher James" and Josher motor "Clent". Pete spotted me taking photos and invited me in for a coffee. Unfortunately I couldn't stop long. Last time I saw "Clent" she had seams you could get your fingers through because she'd dried out. The pessimists said she'd never float again. Now she's nearly finished and Pete is confident she'll be afloat later this year.
