  1. The biggest issue is that with the slow speed that boats can travel on the inland waterways you can't get far enough away while they are at school to guarantee that the children won't find you again.

  20. Having just had a response this afternoon from Market Drayton council, I get the impression they didn’t know about it before I got in touch the a day or so back!

  21. IIRC for CCing CART require that you move over a *range* of at least 20 miles to "satisfy the Board", not that the total distance is 20 miles. Remember that CCing was introduced to allay the complaints of people who moved around the system and didn't see why they should have to find and pay for a home mooring that they never used -- which was perfectly reasonable. Now it's being abused by more and more people who want to basically stay in one "place" (e.g. family, kids at school) but don't want to pay for or can't get a home mooring where they want to be. Nothing to do with an "out-of-date" definition of CCing, it's always been clear what the purpose of allowing a CC license was, the problem is people ignoring/abusing this and then complaining when they get caught. The risk is that if this continues CART will either tighten the CC rules up further or possibly go back to enforcing the need for a home mooring, though this is unlikely; either way, law-abiding CCers will also suffer due to the rule-benders ?

  25. That's an improvement of massive proportions are the volunteers going to maintain it, or arent CRT.

  31. If it's a centrifugal pump, it's worth reversing the power connections, giving it a few goes in reverse, then switching back again. That worked so well on our Jabsco macerator that I installed a switch so that the power can be reversed without use of a screwdriver.

  42. Your differing is accepted and agreed. No need to beg! Whilst it’s never good to try to categorise people, perhaps there are 3 categories relevant to this issue, not 2 as I previously suggested. Splitting the live aboard boaters into two categories, those such as yourself who like to explore the system whilst happening to live aboard, and those who only have a boat because it is somewhere nice to live, perhaps in an otherwise unaffordable area. Only this last category is inconvenienced by the new restrictions

  43. You imply that people who live aboard might be disadvantaged by these changes. I beg to differ. I live aboard and would like to see more of these sort of restrictions, giving me a chance to find a mooring. The 14 days in a year is especially useful to me. I tend to go on one long continuous cruise each year with not much back-tracking. So far this year, I've done about 140 miles in one direction. By the end of the year I expect I'll be at around 300-400 miles. That's while working full time too. I must say I kinda pity those who just shuffle up and down the same section for years on end, especially in the busier areas. Must be a pretty miserable existance.

  50. I'm frequently listening to R4, BBC Sounds or other podcasts while I'm boating alone. I have bluetooth headphones so I cause no nuisance to anyone else and there's no trailing wire to get caught on lock-gear.
