I'm still the Captain, it's just the boat that's got smaller! - Nick Bates in Evening News

Nick Bates featured in today's Edinburgh Evening News following his success in obtaining a qualification allowing him to skipper the Union canal barge.  

Despite his 45 years experience at sea, captaining the likes of the QE2 and QM2, Captain Bates wasn't allowed to cut any corners when it came to getting his licence to skipper a canal barge.  

The amusing interview appears in today's Edinburgh Evening News.
