Hello, So I know that this is a much discussed topic, and sometimes a hopeless case, but I thought I'd ask for advice anyway. My boyfriend and I live aboard in Cropredy at the moment on a 9 month short term permit from CRT. We work in schools, so were hoping to cruise over the summer and then get another 9 month permit in September. However, there do not seem to be any more short term permits being offered at Cropredy or nearby. Now I know there are off-side moorings up and down from where we are at the moment, but you seem to have to know someone (and I'm not quite sure who) to get in with a chance of them (which is perfectly fair, as I'm sure I'd do it the same way if I was renting out my land). So I was hoping some of you lovely people might have some suggestions as to who we need to get to know, how we could get to know them, or how we could prove that we are trustworthy, responsible and a delight to rent to! Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Alison

We are planning on spending some time on the Thames in August, leaving Napton on 8 or 9 August, and I have just realised that it is the Cropredy festival that weekend, and the timing would mean we go through there probably on the Sunday, when the festival has just finished. This sounds like a very bad idea to me, as presumably there will be a lot of boats moving then and we are gong to be in big queues all the way to Oxford. Am I worrying unnecessarily or is this likely to be an issue? My thought to avoid this was to try and get the boat south of Cropredy before the festival weekend so we would be ahead of people leaving the festival going south. What I can't picture is any marinas on the South Oxford south of Cropredy where I could leave the boat for a couple of weeks. I guess I could leave it on the towpath, but as I don't know the area well not sure about that. Any suggestions?
