Rickent 318 Report post #3 Posted May 8 Should move directly outside their house, burn dogshit in your stove and run a generator until midnight. Only joking, but why do people have to cause other people so much trouble, boaters should expect people to leave at least 2 m between themselves and boats.

I think you will find its 2 Mt between people, not people and boats. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
restlessnomad 230 Report post #5 Posted May 8 Think she is overreacting a bit, your boat must be nice if people want to look at it. And some will look through window, draw your curtains or add tinted film may be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRT advice is to avoid using towpath where there are moored boats, I think it's pefectly reasonable to expect Joe Public not to be hugging your boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zenataomm 1210 Report post #13 Posted May 8 Over reaction I fear. Probably on both parties. There's a lot of cabin fever going about. One thing that would stop this immediately is to put a notice in your window ...... Occupants Currently Recovering From Coronavirus Then draw your curtains on that side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think she parked her boat behind somebody's house, stayed there for few days and home owner fought with them. After the conflict they probably moved and called the police. With CCers being allowed to stay for infinite period, there is bound to be some conflict with home owners who will think some water gypsy just rocked up on a boat and now lives behind their house. I am not taking everything she says at face value, police did the right thing in resolving the conflict, what else ppl expect from police.

blackrose 1280 Report post #18 Posted May 9 (edited) Storm in a teacup. They all need to calm down. So much for everyone being kind to each other during this time. Has anyone else heard of dogs pushing against boat windows when moored on the towpath? I think she's talking nonsense. It sounds like all the boaters need to do is go inside the boat when people walk past to maintain social distancing. Passersby shouldn't be looking in through boat windows, but if it's really an issue why doesn't she just close the curtains on the towpath side?

BEngo 271 Report post #20 Posted May 9 If things like this come to a political/press sh*tfight, boaters everwhere will lose out. There are fewer votes in boats than from folks on the bank, the majority of the money for CRT and EA comes from the taxes of the folk on the bank and all poiticians follow the votes.

canalboat 46 Report post #21 Posted May 9 Suggestions: Practice making your point in 30 seconds or less. Move your boat to a water point to fill up and then moor up somewhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete.i 290 Report post #24 Posted May 9 It's as plain as day to me why this young lady is complaining. She is 100% correct. Bunch of idiots on this thread though. Pretty much par for the course on this forum unfortunately. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
