Toggenberg

This is my Brother's boat - Toggenberg. He spends his weekends there to give him a break from caring for Mum. He built it himself from sheet steel outside the farmhouse. The launch was a special occasion when Mum broke a bottle of champagne over the bows - like the queen!

They have it all kitted out so that Mum can visit, with a wheelchair lift and a special platform so that she can see out of the windows as they travel. A trip to France is the next big voyage - they intend to take Mum with them! So I could be travelling to visit in the future :)

The name is from Toggenberg goats. He used to have a big flock (herd?) of them at the farm producing goats cheese.
Now there are just sheep - I prefer goats :)

Here is a Toggenberg goat - isn't he gorgeous?
