Little Bump - How's the research going? Yes, The Caley is beautiful and unique and makes everything better; but I can't say that I'm biased in any way at all. Inverness is a little different from London but we also have quite wide locks and a huge variety of boats. https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/canals/caledonian-canal/ https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/inverness/caledoniancanal/index.html

Both the OP's experience and the one in the same place a few years back were first hand. So were my comments. But it's probably no different from any other inner city area - large number of people, some of whom will be scroats and a lot who aren't. Some places there are safe and some aren't, that's all. Westport Lake is fine.

Ha! You're hooked. But shush! Don't want it to become Kennet and Roch up here. T'wolves feed Boilermen to their whelps, alive and wriggling. You're OK, you have a wolf of your own.

Just to cheer you up a bit, it is simply that your brain has gone onto autopilot since you've done the task countless times and the brain no longer needs your conscious input. ( https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/the-minute-therapist/201803/is-your-brain-automatic-pilot ), the line from the article I quite like is,"... When our automatic level of consciousness is engaged, our conscious mind is free to perform other tasks....". You just need to remind yourself that you know what you are doing

You do know that nobody's falling for this "we're two different people" schtick

And a bottle of Avon skin so soft

Lol very true. Can be summarised in the following universal boating rule: "The ease of any given manoeuvre is inversely proportional to the number of people watching."
