At the bottom of the flight, I met two boats coming out the locks, with 7 crew in all. They happily emerged from the lock and cruised off waving, leaving me both gates open and the paddles up. The rest of the flight up, I was 2 locks behind another single boat, who left the gates open behind them all the way. Thanks a bunch! oh well, keeps us single handed boaters even fitter! ;-)<br />CarrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342049528869683702.post-32145106488287115162011-05-15T17:37:09.627+01:002011-05-15T17:37:09.627+01:00I do try really really hard to approach hire boats...I do try really really hard to approach hire boats with an open mind, honest, but I've had plenty of experiences like these too. Of course, there's idiots in all sort of craft...<br /><br />Anyway - really glad you get to boat whenever you want - which seems to be whenever you can at the moment... ;-)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098938874477314472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342049528869683702.post-70325014750275096382011-05-15T16:48:23.418+01:002011-05-15T16:48:23.418+01:00Hi Lesley, we'd been keeping an eye on various...Hi Lesley, we'd been keeping an eye on various brokerages, and this boat just came up. We hadn't been actively looking, but it seemed like a good opportunity so we thought, why not? It seemed like the natural next step, and now seemed as good a time as any.<br />A&AAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797263033136330290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342049528869683702.post-178615903009108642011-05-15T16:41:36.515+01:002011-05-15T16:41:36.515+01:00Adam/Adrian
