The home of Muddy Waters and Jolly Boatman.

For those with children, these two boats are the real life incarnations of two boats in a series of books for children, where the two main characters are cartoon versions of these boats. The boats are depicted as live characters with their own adventures. We have got quite a number of these books and our grandson (6 years old) likes me to read them to him when he goes to bed, when staying (frequently) with us. These boats are hire boats.
