Swmbo found these pics very sad. Possibly a new or quite new boat.

Cilled by the look of things.

I thought their cruiser stern might have been swamped by all that water coming over the gates.

That's grim.

Always sad to see. Hope all Ok.

A few weeks ago, one of Snaygill's hire boats sunk in Higherland lock at Gargrave, probably snagged at the back between wall and gate whilst ascending. Thankfully all crew safe. Snaygill had it refloated and out of the lock within four hours and the engine running again a couple of hours after that, before CaRT had a notice sent out.

They have had plenty of practice unfortunately.😩
