Its windy today in Brighton. Force 7 at least with spray coming over the harbour breakwater. We strolled round the town while hoping the weather will improve maybe tomorrow. The picture shows Allan admiring a shop in The Lanes area that only sells plastic bath ducks. There were lots of different types on display. This seems like an extreme form of specialisation, and we wondered about the business model and how many ducks they had to sell every day to cover their overheads. There were no customers in the shop when we passed it and we didnt feel we needed any more bath ducks.
Bonita was designed by William Crossfield and built in his yard at Arnside, Cumbria in 1888. This occasional blog describes some of her adventures - including her 2013 and 2023 circumnavigations of Britain and her Baltic cruise of 2016.
