Why go left and not right? Thought it would be easier to push them back over with your boat and to get past that side.

It was so the good lady wife could get off the front, find the centreline, pull ‘em in and re-tie them so the next poor sod didn’t have the same problem ;) (i do as i’m told)

There was a nappy pin in the piling, but the front rope was in the welldeck, no idea how it came undone and jumped back on the boat.

You cant have been far behind me. I delivered one of those ex bl**dy hire boats there on Saturday around 2pm -those two were tied up then..

Looking at the pic time it was 2:28pm. A chap had come out of the junction as we approached it and nipped round the corner, he had got by the boats but his wake pulled them into the towpath side, unsure if it was his passing that untethered them. My reversing back and putting the nose across for J to jump off moved them out a bit again. There was a pin in the piling, but no trailing wet line as you’d imagine there would be, a most perplexing mystery.

 

My point was that every time we’ve gone by there, theres been three or four cheerful staff and several moorers pootling about. Just found it hilarious that soon as you needed someone the place was like the Marie Celeste. I believe that’s called “sods law”. :D

It was certainly quiet there. I was actually sat out the front there watching an occasional boat go by until my taxi arrived- reckon I left there about 2.25pm 😀
