No, I am inside except to go to bin, which is next to gate, I was painting front doors, yesterday bin and fill water and shopping on bike. So its eveybody else thats the problem... Just out of interest, are the moorings there residential, residential CRT towpath moorings are very rare I think?

Just out of interest, are the moorings at Goole residential, residential CRT towpath moorings are very rare I think? They are in the marina. Friends of ours were in the same marina and there are a lot of liveaboards. The OP is clearly one of these on a none residential mooring sl not quite sure that they can really complain about the situation. If the other moorers are staying more than 2m from the OPs boat there really is very little they can do about the situation. Moving to the towpath is highly unlikely to make the situation any better as it will be the general public instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP had talked about getting a residential CRT mooring, and it is those I think that are rare? Edited March 27, 2020 by Chagall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 4 minutes ago, Naughty Cal said: No. If the marina has no residential moorings, one wonders why it is open at all. Bit of a headache for marina managers up and down the land, who have filled their leisure marinas with unofficial liveaboards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So cutting! It's a hard one for the marina owners to call. One the one hand the marina might play hardball and just lock the gates, on the other, there might be SO MANY unofficial liveaboards in there, it would cause civil unrest.

Im fairly sure they are listening, or to be pedantic reading the advice but I wonder if any is appreciated for the experience it contains. She will come to her own decision despite the advice is perhaps a little more truthful. I wish her good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'm not sure if there was much advice, plenty of comments, and of course official guidelines and rules changed at least twice, as didexternal factors, pulling and pushing.

The group was set up by our local Landlord who entered a Radio Lincoln competition for a "Song for Lincolnshire", they didn't win but they were called up to perform all over the place, they only had the one song so had to right a few more, since then they have performed all over the world. We were going to book them for a charity event at the Golf Club and they said they'd do a 50% discount for charity so it would only be £1500. a bit beyond our budget.

She could always move, but I suspect she is living under the radar on a leisure mooring and paying little in fees, she could always find a proper residential mooring in a nicer marina and pay a lot more. You get what you pay for and I doubt she'll move. Edited March 28, 2020 by PD1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
