    This is more of a question of displacement. How deep does water need to be to carry a floating object? It can be as little as 1mm as long as the fluid displaced is displaced equally across the surface of the object.

    Or something like that, I'm now claiming ignorance...

    Those canals are not very deep. My cousin is 4 foot nothing tall and fell overboard. Was only chest deep on her!

    No.

    Would you like to meet her? You appear to have something in common...

    Thats different.

    You see the budgies whilst in flight are above the truck, in thats it is not sealed unlike the jar, hence I think he would need to keep hammerring!

    There is some wicked engineering in those canal systems!
    Here ya go, not that I have taken much notice of our local canal system.

    In the beginning, there was nothing. Then the Lord said: "Let there be light"...

    Not a lot of people know about the canal system, even though it is in their back yard. You can go from the south of England to quite a way up north.
    The nice part is that there seems to ba an abundance of pubs that you can tie up outside! Very nice indeed.

    And to think it all started with coal mining.
