Lots of Biterness and not helpful at all. I'm sure they put people of by nasty, vindictive comments. Maybe they need to get a life / personality and chill the **** out dudes. Hey Dude (see what I did there folks) The good folk of Canalworld Forum are very protective of the waterways and on the odd occasion may sound a little brusque. There is an alternative and very friendly boating forum where I'm sure you will be afforded an appropriate welcome. Google 'Thunderboat Forum'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips and advice most welcome. The locks are too narrow near me. Anyone just move every 2 weeks on there stretch of Canal. So the OP asks a reasonable question because he doesn't know and rather than just pointing out what he is asking is not a good idea and why some people just go headlong to bombast him forcing an argument ending in name calling. As been said before this is a great group for a new comer to ether the canals or this forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plus was the fact that most seem to be real boaters rather than sofa surfers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time, give it time. edit - That said - on the flip side though you might earn some brownie points on there for 'standing up to the old farts on CWDF'. PS - I'm not sure you are in a strong enough position to be calling others facile names like 'sofa surfers' are you? What are you if not a 'sofa surfer'.

As been said before this is a great group for a new comer to ether the canals or this forum. He asked a question and has been left with no doubt as to the answer. That is a good result, surely. Mind you he will probably be phoning up Daniel and demanding a recount, demanding that Daniel finds those 11,780 missing posts that support his proposal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn Stampede Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) 23 hours ago, Mad Harold said: I have come across a couple of these ex oil rig lifeboats.One,moored at Sowerby bridge,and another moves around the Calder and Hebble/Aire and Calder. I helped the latter one when he ran aground at Salterhebble.Very roomy looking but,really ugly.It initially looked to me like a dead whale or like a large boat that had been turned over. When I helped to move it I cheekily asked if he needed a hand to turn it the right way up,but he wasn't amused. The one at Sowerby Bridge has a mooring at shire cruisers. That other one you mentioned has been lingering on the same stretch of the canal for over a year now. It turned up in Salterhebble around Nov/Dec 2019? And its gone from the middle lock to the bottom of Tuel Lane locks (next to Shire Cruisers...) In that time. According to canal planner that's 2 miles... Or an hour of time... In over 365 days. It hasn't gone up those particular locks for a reason I imagine. Covid certainly isn't the reason but somehow it's been allowed to hang around.
