Not trying for it yourself? Sinecure.

Sad, isn't it. But somebody should have that life.

Admittedly I only see them in the good weather, but ferrymen (and it is usually men) seem to enjoy their work tremendously. I went down to a tiny local one which shuttles across Falmouth harbour, thereby sparing the inhabitants a half-hour drive the long way round.

There are even a class of children who use it as their school bus. How cool is that "Sorry miss, the boat was late".

BTW, I don't know why, but the display of the pics is playing up.

A bit more John Masefield, the ferries, up here in the far North, bit more butting through the Channel im the mad March days; rusty little, out of date, inter isles ro-ro boats with a crew of three or four, battering through monster seas; their crews, though seem to love it, steeped in myth and legend and fable, ferrymen. You should apply.

Mrs WOAR. I have just wandered over here from Mr Ishmael's place to find this. I was staying down at Sandbanks only last week but did not spot this opportunity. Damn! I could have applied in person. I grew up along this coast. I think the chain ferry could challenge Mr I's Orkadian Ro-Ro boats to a rust and 'out-of-dateness' challenge any day. Also the Purbecks are formidable territory especially when travelling by bicycle. They can be light and magical but also dark and forbidding... SG
