Jason Arthur’s Pictures

Today a treat – or rather 39 treats for me but I have only posted 5 here for you. Sheer file size and the limits on this website dictate. Occasional barge photographer and Gravesend Pier frequent visitor Jason Arthur was out and about taking pictures of the Medway Barge Match yesterday; you will recall that we (Cambria) had another class win in the Coasting Class, though I am told that Xylonite won outright (Well done Tim and crew). As is Jason’s wont, he uploads all these pictures to a ‘sky-drive’ and then supplies me with a link. There are 39 gorgeous pictures up there, of which I have selected 5 and brutally shrunk them (as I have to – it saves website space but also prevents anyone downloading the full size original and ‘borrowing it’ without Jason’s permission)

Here then, a selection of Jason’s work.

Back home again

Hi, one and all. I am back now at home after spending a nice few nights aboard Cambria on my ‘holidays’. I will post properly tomorrow but for now let me welcome aboard a new friend, one Jason Arthur who is a resident of Gravesend and an enthusiast for all things ‘shipping’. He spends his leisure time wandering around with some good camera kit and was all over Cambria like a rash as she arrived on the Pontoon last Sunday in those interesting winds. All be it, I think his real interest lies in the big stuff – the massive container ships and cruise ships which are up and down that part of the Thames. He has since been down to the pontoon a couple of times to get to know us and is now furnishing us with some lovely images of the old girl which he has given me permission to use on this website. So, thanks for that, Jason.
