We can all sympathise I'm sure. An unexpected gust of wind and within moments you are broadside across the canal, stuck. Boats backing up each side and lots of gongoozlers pointing and laughing.

I don't think it can be a CaRT waterway. The Grauniad article says it is 79' deep, so someone has been dredging it regularly. ?

I dunno...might be CRT....it’s not been dredged at the edges by the look of it...

Once got wedged like that on the Leeds and Liverpool in high winds, got another boat to nudge me back in line.

 

Maybe the following ship could do the same......???
