We are at Ellesmere and there is hardly any flow on the canal at the moment. I have no idea why it would be like that on the Dee as it has been quite dry for the last few days.

Thank you all for your comments. I am heartened by them and when I get my boat they will almost certainly get my business. Thanks again.

Hi, I've been looking at marina's on the Kennet and Avon and e-mailed the above marina. I got a good response from them and am wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them that they would share with me. Regards

Thanks Bettie Boo for a good answer. When I need to I'll see what my GP can come up with. Regards.

Thanks Martin for the link. Thank you Bettie Boo for such a comprehensive answer. I will also thank her on the link post.

I hope to be joining you all in the not too distant future.

Hi, How do people on regular medication get on with ordering and collection of it if they are 'continuous cruisers'? Regards

Thanks Howard and Martin for the corrections. By open water I mean just that, water which is not governed by the exceptions such as in a shipping lane or a separation zone etc. and yes, I agree the subject has been well covered.

On open water, power does give way to sail. Likewise, when racing different rules do apply. However, on inland waterways, where I believe this incident happened, there are different rules again. In all of them however there is a clause which says that it is the duty of the skipper to avoid a collision.
