If you are going to sink, it's best being in Carls neck of the woods. He has lots of experience!

According to the profile it says boatbot is in Leighton Buzzard so a good guess would be the Grand Union? What I'd like to know is how/why you think/know the boat is sinking if you are out of the country? Did someone contact you about it and if so, why didn't they help stop it sinking?
