Frankly, except for that one day of back-to-back locks on the Newbury-Bath run, $300/wk for drifting along with but an occasional swing bridge to open, a few windlasses to crank, and "elevenses" and "tea" to be served by walking a "tightrope" along the side of the boat seems pretty good pay for a summer job.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040441084648426091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-73638978997525002182013-04-04T18:56:33.229-05:002013-04-04T18:56:33.229-05:00Duke and Duchess sadly do not pay their employees ...Duke and Duchess sadly do not pay their employees minimum wage - or NI contributions. £200, cash in hand, for a 6-day week with about 10 hours a day.
