Juliet Kilo at Ardrishaig

I like the tranquility and colours in these photos - Very nice.

Thank you very much Ed. I also love watching the boats passing through the locks.

I hope you have a pleasant day

Belle image , un joli bateau !

Thank you very much Misou. She is a beauty and she took the owner, Mr Kay, seven years to build.

Excellent series!

Thank you very much William. Really appreciated

Excellent composition -- the red tree on the left got my attenton, then the white boat, and then my eyes couldn't stop sweeping across the photo.

Thank you very much for the loveldy comments John. The boat was built by a gentleman called Jackie Kay and it took 7 years to build. The initials of his name using the phonetic alphabet waswhat gave the boat it;s name.

This is a scene I know well, Carol. You have captured it well. The boat makes the ideal focal point. All the best, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. I discovered the boat belongs to Jack Kay who has a boat yard here. Juliet Kilo takes her name from the phonetic alphabet form of his initials. He took seven years to build her and she is a beauty.

Best wishes Carol

Lovely capture Carol

Thank you very much Jaap. Really appreciated

beautiful !

Wish you a peaceful Wednesday

Thank you very much Annemarie
Best wishes Carol

Plenty of interesting details to discover looking wide, HWW Carol

Thank you very much Isabel.

The boat took the owner, Jack Kay (hence the name from the phonetic alphabet) seven years to build and she is a beauty.

A lovely and colourful scene plus excellent pips from this very attractive canal, HWW

Thank you very much Roger. The canal is fascinating.
HWW

ein sehr schöner und Ruhe ausstrahlender Ort

Thank you very much Reinhard. The boat builder and owner must think so too as he was living on the boat following the death of his wife.

A great set of captures from this canal Carol. A while now since we were last here. I liked your song too. Well done.

HWW, enjoy the day. Herb

Thank you very much Herb. I am pleased you also liked the music, - I had almost forgotten about the song. I guess it is a little dated - but then so am I!!!!!

HWW

Comme il doit être agréable de naviguer en toute quiétude sur ces petits canaux, tu donnes envie avec tes belles images Carol, bonne journée.

Thank you very much Jocelyne. I love the watch the boats on the canals but have not been lucky enough to sail on one. It is relaxing just watching them though.

Enjoy your evening

The beauty and charm of the English channels!!
Gorgeous details and images, Carol!!
Have a nice day too!

Thank you very much Judite. I am pleased you like them.
I read an article about Ardrishaig by a man who actually met the boat yard owner who built this boat and went aboard. She is a beauty and took him seven years to build. He was 80 at the time, still working and living on his boat.

Have a lovely evening

Sehr schöne Aufnahmen sind das mit diesen Schiff liebe Carol,mir gefällt auch sehr gut deine Musikauswahl dazu :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Guni. I am pleased you liked them and enjoyed the music. It took me back a very long way to my youth!!!!

Have a lovely evening

Beautiful images, Carol.

Thank you very much George. Really appreciated

Beautiful place for a day of outing HWW & Best wishes

Thank you very much Dinesh
HWW and have a lovely evening

She probably weights more than just one kilo, but women always want to appear slender ;-)
Great shot, Carol!

;-))) You are so right - but I am a lost cause I think!!!!

This beautiful boat was built by a man called Jackie Kay - hence the name Juliet Kilo from the phonetic alphabet. He owns a small boatyard in Ardrishaig and Juliet Kilo took him 7 years to build. Since the death of his wife he has lived aboard her for the most part and he keeps her beautifully maintained.

Thank you Edna.

It's more difficult for me as well the older I get. But I'm not even trying too hard ;-)

What an interesting story, Carol! And that explains why the boat looks so beautiful and well maintained. I wonder what it would be like to live on a boat? If it's quiet I might want to consider it... :-)

Nor me. Ok it is good to be healthy but your nature, how much you love and care for others is more important to me - so if you have a big heart it might need a little more room :)) That is my excuse and I am sticking to it!!!!!!

It is the romance of that lifestyle that really appeals to me, - the freedom of the open road, well - canal, and it would be a peaceful life. Not sure about the practicalities of living in such a small space though. You would have to be super tidy and organised. It would be perfect if, like Mr Kay, you had a house as well so somewhere to store all your things and you could keep the boat relatively clutter free.

So if you manage to sell that high privacy property for an inflated price you know just what to do with the money. Be careful of the advertised description though or you could get there to find you have purchased a dinghy!!!!!!

You said it so beautifully, Carol...a big heart needs more room :-) And this is indeed an excellent excuse :-))

Yes, I can definitely see your point about the romance of this lifestyle. As I already live in a small space (apartment) I'd be used to it. I'd just hope that life on a boat would be a lot more quiet than in an apartment. I'll gladly manage with little space in that case. And I do remember my boat tour on the Canal de Bourgogne many years ago where we lived on a boat for a week...and it sure was quiet :-)
Well, if not a house, perhaps a storage room that you could access if necessary would do.

LOL, I'll promise to be very careful, after all I should be able to catch on to those sales tricks right away. If not me who else??! ;-)))

Fine series, Carol !

Thank you very much Ulrich. The name of the boat intrigued me and I found out it belongs to a man called Jack Kay, the boatyard owner who built her and lives on her, so JK in the phonetic alphabet is Juliet Kilo. She is beautifully maintained.

Ein sehr schön gepflegtes altes Boot liegt dort am Kanal im Hafen, Carol.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Abend
Erich

Thank you very much Erich. The boat took seven years to build and is a beauty. The man who built her has a boatyard here and even in his eighties was working and living on her

Best wishes Carol

beautiful and peaceful picture.
HWW!

Thank you very much Markus. The boat belongs to the local boatyard owner who built this beauty himself, a seven year long labour of love.

HWW

Great series!

Thank you very much Andy.

Enjoy the rest of your week

Eine sehr schöne Aufnahme, Carol! Das Boot gefällt mir besonders. HWW!

Thank you very much Wilhelm. The boat is a beauty. It must have been a real labour of love for the owner, who owns the local boatyard. She was seven years in the making and he lives aboard most of the time.

HWW

Belle composition un village bien verdoyant merci pour l'info agréable journée.

Thank you very much Patrick. Yes the canal runs through the village and it is all lovely and green.

Enjoy the rest of your week

...great composition, Carol...

Thank you very much Armando. The boat took seven years to build - a real labour of love!

A wonderful place, Carol, and a wonderful song, but what a difference from today's music. :)

Thank you very much * ઇઉ *. I love the relaxing feel to the Crinan Canal, especially on a nice day.

The song takes me right back to my youth. I loved it then and still do. It is a little dated I guess, but then, as I said to Herb, so am I!!!

Have a lovely evening

Ich rieche die frische Luft. Deine Aufnahmen bringen sie so gut zu mir über den Kanal! *** So schön, Carol!

Thank you very much Lothar. What lovely comments. I must admit I always feel like I can really breathe and enjoy the peace and beauty in Scotland.

Nice shot Carol. The Four Pennies, crikey, you ain't old enough to remember them :-)

Thank you very much Mick. Sadly I am!!! I think I must have been ten when this came out. I have an older cousin who used to play her records for us to have a dance to so I loved music from an early age. She also tried to teach me to jive, - without a lot of success!!!

Lovely set of life....
As sailors like.

Thank you very much Jose. Yes it must be a wonderful way of life. The owner has a boatyard so his life has been about boats. it is quite fitting that he can live his life on this beautiful boat that he has built himself.

Have a good week

Jolies vues d'une scène qui donne envie !
Excellent partage, Carol !

Thank you very much Henri. I must admit the peace and freedom of this lifestyle appeals to me.

I am pleased you like it

Have a good week

A lovely boat Carol. I also love the reddish tree in the background of your main shot.
A delightful set.

Thank you very much Rosa. It took the owner seven years to build so it was a real labour of love. Nice that he gets to live in it too.

Havea lovely week, and welcome back

An excellent series, that boat is beautiful!

Thank you very much Gudrun. Yes she is a beauty and it looks to have been a real labour of love for the man who built her.

belle photo ma mie ! tu me gâtes avec ces belles chansons ! merci ! bisous***************
