Hi
We have noticed that alot of the boats moored up for along time are not ccers but people who buy boats for leisure and leave them moored up all over the place i.e visitors moorings for months on end while they go back to there houses until they can use their boats again and dont want to pay marina fees for their boats. It is these that are giving us ccers a bad name. If you carnt pay marina fees for your boat when you are not using it then dont buy one. We have seen boats left for months and no one on them, even notices left on them by bw but nothing is done about them, it always goes back to us ccers that are using the system and moving around. We dont moor up on visitors moorings as we carnt see the point they are in crowded areas anyway we moor up in the countryside peferably on our own as that is how we like it, not in towns, that is why we got a boat and live on it to get away and enjoy the piece and quiet of the countyside and the canals which we enjoy very much. If bw did something about these boats, half of them that you see moored up on your travels would be gone and there would be room then for everyone.
