Have you considered reaching out to any of the people who run boat moving businesses, they might have capacity to take you on, especially if they are having to turn work away.

As far as I am aware all of those, apart from the cilling, were all moored boats on rivers that went into flood and the boats were displaced or carried away, they weren't people navigating of a river that was in flood. The biggest cause of cilling is lack of attention by the helmsman.

That actually has nothing to do with my post - all I was pointing out that someone else was saying they were going to build app. I didn't mention email addresses or adverts, they didn't mention email addresses or adverts. We've gone round and round on this - lets not start again

What? I was just pointing out that someone else is proposing to do an app - what has emails or adverts got to do with that?

That's what puzzles me too. There seems to be this idea that you need TomTom like navigation with automatic rerouting. We were out boating last year when the drunk sunk his boat in The Bratch. The only options were go and hope it reopens or go all the way up into Birmingham, across to Wolverhampton and down back to the S&W. Then on the way we caused a 3 hour stoppage by finding a wheelbarrow behind a lock gate and after Bratch there was a half day closure at a lock to replace a paddle gear stand. I hate to think what a TomTom type rerouting would have done with that, especially given that unlike roads you can't just turn round anywhere.

And another one ( possibly) https://www.facebook.com/groups/canalsandrivers/posts/28100511939606368/?__cft__[0]=AZYB2HfyyOBuQbJkXo36LspMCd9jdDKvLuO54fk-Dn_Hq5DyOXVnvs8VyKfkI8YU9XMR9UZI3mO9paa05M_upJU4Qe0fV3H-8A14IOk8ly2jk9bHYr0fAGiSNKJlnYMkM2xIK85YLS4f9nIfS0c7K0bx&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Had that on a cavalier, braided strap had got wet and corroded. Replaced it with a new wire. Saved myself a fortune

Indeed and people actually running sites moan about it too ...

It happens all the time. The developers of MantisBT changed core functionality of their app which broke lots of sites that had integrated it into their pages. They wanted a cleaner , leaner, more compatible application and so they did it. People running the software have to accept it and adapt or move on.

It looks like a regular oil filter to me - surely a water trap/filter would be a filter sitting in a casing with a drain point

Another one for Mr Denny's list

If you build a derivative dataset from OSM then you have to make your dataset downloadable as part of the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)

Anyone got a clue what this is? The three symbols on the back are scissors and between the two bottom ones it says "cut" Appeared on the boat whilst it was at Norbury

As Rob says it's probably the canal society working the lock to raise money.
