Torpedo boat and autumn foliage

The torpedo boats, or self-hire cruisers, will soon be in their winter pens, sulking and hoping to be refurbished for the 2020 campaign, when fathers called Jerry will drive them too fast for the sedate canal, without the aid of the life jackets provided. Well at least we won't have them queuing at the swing bridge for a while and holding me up when I have a GP appointment.
