Are you?

You're new here?

What principles would you like to discuss. Your notion that, if you have a home mooring, you are somehow paying toward a use of the canal that your mooring contract hasn't mentioned?

Do you mean, you have no objections to it happening?

You can't have it both ways. That's what a kid would want.

Oh, really? It seems they can circumvent the law, in marinas. Was it?

No CMing. And, knowing that a permanent mooring is what a home moorer pays for. It offers no discounting on use of the canal.

At what interval? Over night.

Happy to accept that home moorers are subjected to the same code as CCers. Or, are you happy to accept that home moorers are no different to CCers, when out on the cut?

By implying that they might not have to follow the rules CCers have to follow.

I obviously should have misread it. Would you not like to try and scotch the idea that home moorers might be able to CM? "For boats with home moorings when cruising away from those, the 14 day limit would apply only as a permissive one based on a fair-play comparison with the ‘continuous cruisers’. It is simply, in other words, that CaRT would find difficulty in justifying the application of differing standards based only on the nature of the boat licence application."

That's obviously gone out the window.

You seem to be saying: Home moorers have to behave as CCers. They can't stay moored for longer than 14 days. They can slip back into the marina, and possibly get the count to start again. They are also required to leave VMs, as the time states. Would you, by any chance, be trying to find rules that home moorers can follow, that CCers are not permitted to follow? Like, CMing, for instance?

I've been both. And a home moorer for the much longer period. I paid for a mooring in one instance, and decide, perfectly reasonably, to be a CC'er in the other. As a CC'er, I have a fortnight limitation of mooring, in the other, I didn't.

You're still telling me that you have a right to moor in a place of your choosing for more than a fortnight. And that is why you pay.

The rule that was created that didn't require a CCer to have a home mooring, or anyone, for that matter. When home moorers are out and about on the canal, the rules are the same for them as CCers. When I went on holiday and was away from the boat for a month, I put the boat in a marina, and took a home mooring to do it. It allowed me a permanent mooring for more than a fortnight. As it does for all home moorers.

Yep, that's what CCers do. And they didn't need to have a home mooring. No home moorer needed a home mooring.

I know the 14 day rule, or that relevant to VMs. I know that when I had a mooring, I was paying for the mooring.

No they haven't. They've got a mooring.

She'll be talking about H moorers, now.
