I believe she became a liveaboard and re-named \"Pearl\",spending time in Aylesbury Basin.The Bush family lived on her in the late 1960s and early 1970s and Bob and Penny were good friends of mine.Penny worked for the I.W.A when their office in Regent`s Park Road,and Bob wrote a guide to the Aylesbury Arm. Pearl was restored to working trim,re-named Baron and I saw her last during the summer of 2002 when I locked down from Tring Summit with her.
