What an " interesting" start to the day!
Left the marina in a queue of 3. Day boat, Black Prince boat and us. Came across an ABC boat stopped before the narrows. No sign of day boat. After a long wait it transpired that the day boat had gone on and the ABC seemed to be waiting for divine intervention telling them to proceed. Sorted that out and off we set again.
The next excitement was meeting 2 oncoming boats and theBP in front keeping running aground on the very shallow tow path side. It was all being slowly sorted when the boat behind us pushed in between us and the on coming boat - the canal here was hardly two boats wide never mind three. Iain reversed out of the way! All the boats were hirers and all did the right thing but the pushy boat -with the steerer who ignored all requests to reverse and let the boat come through - was a private boat. Shame on him !
