Well that didn't work. So I've put the two photos up onto the Yahoo group in a new album called Windermere. The second in particular shows how high things got. If you can't get into the Yahoo group, John, I'll send them - email me first on humyar@tiscali.co.uk
Re varnish - have you tried "boat soup"? It's a mixture of linseed oil, real turpentine, and ???. Mentionned on the pages about AR's boats (I'll try to ID the third ingredient - it will be in my garage). It doesn't form a hard shell, bit soaks into the wood. You just keep topping it up say every year. I've done this with "Titty" and it works well.
Best wishes to Catriona and Anne
