Water Vessels

Still on the Hinode Pier, we were getting close to this lovely red vessel. We were all still secretly hoping that this would be our river cruise transport. Alas this was not to be. Instead we were led on board some kind of flat bottomed, fully enclosed   river cat vessel.

We were towards the end of the queue when boarding, so by the time we got on board, all of the good viewing seats were gone. I had to make do with avoiding heads and hands in all my photos.

Back to the above water vessel, I never did find out what it was for. possibly a floating restaurant? Whatever it's use, there is some lovely decoration at the front on the side. My mind is thinking lace.......mmmmmm .......... will have to think long & hard before starting another piece. It is pretty to look at though.
