When I last used the mooring at the museum I met one of the "organisers" of the residential moorings in the Basin. He said that they do temporary moorings when residents taken their boats "on holiday". Sorry I no longer have his mobile number but might be woirth checking.

The mention of "shopping around" is required under the rules of their regulator FCA

Although the "flow" is mentioned by several posters I am surprised that nobody has mentioned that it makes sense to give way, at bridges, to boats travelling with the flow, for obvious reasons

All the organisations so far mentioned are either brokers or agents. One of the most important factors is the strength and reputation of the actual insurer underwriting the risk but few seem to bother with that.

Some developers use another method, taking an option to purchase, and then apply for planning permission. If they are refused PP the option lapses and no purchase takes place. This happened in our village, the developer posted a placard "acquired by XX for development", failed twice to get PP, and then pulled out because they had never "acquired" the land.

They used to give you the key pad number for the side exit. Have they stopped that?

Suggest you may find that your insurance policy has a condition that you must hold a current BSS. If so you do need to get this sorted now

Wickes have these on offer at £12 for two packs of 12 logs each. 25% cheaper than the manufacturers price.

Not a direct reply to your question but a reflection on shore meters. Some years ago our meter maid appeared to be giving wrong readings. It was on a shared post and shared pontoon. The other boat was a liveaboard of one of the marina staff and we discovered that guess who was switching over supply cables.

Most narrowboat insurance comes via intermediaries who make a lot of their income from charging fees. Craftinsure charge a clearly stated £10 for amendments. Insure4boats charge "up to £45". Policy wordings vary and it is also a good idea to find out the identity and reputation of the actual insurer.

He took a pride in the whole flight. Great sense of humour and, after retirement he was awarded an OBE or MBE (can't remember which) for services to the waterways
