Around Lake Wener, 1907: ‘The Bee, Bill’s boat, was a ten-foot sailing dinghy built by Marsh of Reading. For this cruise, she had bulkhead put in at the midship thwart, a bit of deck from the mast forward, and a Willesden canvas hood from this to the bulkhead. The Earwig was, as has been mentioned already, a home-made canoe, fourteen feet by three, watertight fore and aft, and with a well just under three feet long.’
