Geoff was scheduled to face the Board in Thurrock to gain his Master’s certificate so he could skipper Thames barges. It was hardly a formality, but... he passed. “They asked me what I’d do if my Mate reported water over the ceiling* in the saloon while we were off Walton, heading north in a strong sou-westerly.”*In a Thames barge, the ‘ceiling’ is actually the floor.
