Boat ride

The Butlin's saga is hereby concluded with a snap of what I thought was a rather splendid ride for small children., with the boat gently rotating as it rolled from one end of its ramp to the other. Cunning motion on more than one axis, requiring some care with the shape of the bottom of the boat. I dare say that they would have let us have a go, but we we forbore.

Googlemaps confirms that it the Wave Hotel in the background, one of three on the complex. It also tells me that this ride is to be found at latitude 50.785695, longitude -0.660216. Which reminds me that there is a bit of class about being more or less on the Greenwich Meridian, with longitudes more or less zero; it goes a long way towards making up for most of our units of measure being French and with the masters being kept in French vaults, rather than British ones.
