Clarence Dock, Leeds. Moved pontoons.

We had to quickly move to another pontoon this morning as soon as it was vacated. The one we were on was not quite large enough to hold us in this wind.

I think I am going to rename this place Chicago.





Still, here we are tucked in amongst all these new buildings with lots of expensive shops within a very, very short walk.
There has been a curfew imposed on Ubique not allowing us off whilst the shops are open.
Not sure where it came from, but you can't argue with a curfew can you.


There are not all that many boats here though, these are supposed to be the permanent moorings for the use of the residents only but they have been opened up as visitor moorings for the time being.




This is just one of a myriad of such buildings around here, there are three penthouse "Suites" up there on this one, each being two bedrooms and costing.....................£2000 a month.
This does fall though as you descend through the floors ending at £650 a month for a single bedroom with no balcony.

Probably going to visit the "Armoury" tomorrow which is again right next to the boat. Although it has cost many millions to build and equip there is no entrance fee allowing anyone to see and use.

Until tomorrow.................
