and very pleased we are too!

it made me wonder if he could only sell the boat if he sold it with a mooring.ie:he paid for the mooring and sold the boat on it.

I, had been "letching"after one of the moorings and knew all the boats on it.Saw one of the boats for sale on brokerage and thought here we go!The boat moved off the mooring up the cut and the mooring went to auction.Next thing I lose the auction and the boat is back on it's plot.I bumped the price up a fair bit, so there is someone there who wished i didn't exist.The next opportunity for me to try to aquire another mooring on the site has been discussed.

thanks all for the advice.(space)I'll just keep an eye on that mooring on the cart auction site and hope that i get lucky. Otherwise will have to get one a bit further away. Mooring first, then boat! ta, phil. ps;the last time I was outbid,the guy who had the mooring ended up outbidding me for his own mooring back.So you can see why it gets a bit confusing if you are new to it all.

sorry to upset you re spacings.I learned to write longhand, when a full stop would do

just did'nt want to upset anyone as i hope to moor there one day and he could be my neighbour.

ok,I get that.its just that I know that they have sold their boat. I don't have a problem with spaces thanks.seems you do though!

thanks for that.Is it common practice for moorings to be sub let?would cart allow someone to take a mooring for maybe two years without it comming up for auction?

hello all,I have been lurking on here for a few years and have learned a lot from all of you.I want to buy a boat and if possible moor it close to where i live on a cart leisure mooring.I lost out on one last year as i was outbidded.(fair enough).Well through the local grapevine I heard that another mooring had been vacated and I was hoping that I would be able to bid for it.Unfortunately there is now another boat on the mooring.(someone who had been ccing locally for a while)and the mooring has not as yet appeared on the cart auction site.I am wondering if there is still a nod and wink thing going on.I don't want to upset anyone,the guy who is on it is really nice,but it does make me wonder if I will ever be able get a fair crack at one of those moorings and I might have to re evaluate and look further afield.So is the cart mooring policy open and honest or are some people able to i.e.give a drink to someone ?.My problem is that I am not 'canal wise'and don't want to upset people as i realise its hard enough living on a boat without people like me complaing to cart.any advise as how to proceed would be grateful. Hope it;s ok if I don't mention the location all advice as to how to proceed will be most welcome thanks ,phil
