Punts

Autumn, and the punts are lined up on the River Cam. I wonder whether they put them away for the winter, and where?

How do you store punts? Are they OK kept out of the water for a long period?

  1. Great, evocative photo of the punts, David!: I love the line-up; their vibrant shades of reds, greens, orange hues and the like that you’ve captured; and the darker shades exhibited in the reflections of the houseboats on the other side of the shore. Lovely all ’round… 🦆

  2. You must have Boat Houses somewhere near there, don’t you, David? Winter’s when they get all of their maintenance done (and a well-deserved rest 😉

    1. Yes, there are several boat houses along the River Cam for the Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin University rowing teams. I know where a couple of the punting companies have their boats but I have never looked for a boathouse. Fact is, it might have been staring me in the face.

      1. LOL. Hiding in plain sight, as it were? 😉

  3. To be specific, just look at all of their poor scuffed up, sun-faded top surfaces… Badly in need of a light sand and a touch up :/

    1. Not sure what happened just now, but my initial comment hasn’t appeared, so I’ll attempt to reproduce it: “You must have Boat Houses somewhere near there, David? Winter’s when they get all of their maintenance (and a well-deserved rest; )
      A lovely photo, but perhaps just slightly melancholy? The poor little things look deserted with no one about.

        1. BOTH of them? Oh darn! (Ah well the second had a little more thought behind it anyway; )

    2. I wonder – maybe that is what they do in the winter.
