Left on Croxton Flash

[Ray T]

Last night whilst our boat was moored on the Tesco side of the Oxford at Brownsover, Rugby, somebody left this knot display board on the bow:

 

 

There is a post-it note on the back with writing on it. I have no idea why it was left on the boat.

 

If it belongs to any one who can describe the boards idiosyncrasies I will make sure it is returned to its rightful owner.

I'm knot sure why anyone would do that either.

Looks like somebody thought you could use it.

 

Reminds me of when I parked the Shogun I used to own in Wigan. When I came back to it there was a brand new boxed clutch kit by the drivers door. Some kind person obviously didn't need it and thoguht I might. The irony was that my Shogun was an automatic.

They're just stringing you along

 

 

(is this the right thread?)

I'm surprised no one has asked "How long is it yet"?

Didn't that used to be hanging on the wall of the chandlery at Rose Narrowboats at Brinklow?

[RLWP]

Were you tied up badly Ray?

That's a very interesting knot display board.

 

I've seen a lot of those in various pubs, sailing clubs, fire stations, etc but there are some on there that I've not seen before

 

If you can't find the previous owner and you don't want it, I'd like to have a closer look at it

Were you tied up badly Ray?

 

Richard

 

No, friends had the boat. I was at home.

[RLWP]

Had they tied her up ugly then?

 

Richard

[the grinch]

hope its not a get knotted message

[FadeToScarlet]

What does the PostIt say?

Richard

 

Don't think so as the husband does a lot of 4 X 4ing including mud plugging and knows his knots.

 

What does the PostIt say?

 

The post it is a major identifier and the rightful owner should know what it says.

[Nightwatch]

Not getting roped into this one.

 

No,no, fraid not.

I've only just cottoned on to your comment

[Gazboatman]

What does the PostIt say?

'You are now looking after this for me, don't get too attached as it's knot yours'

Maybe someone won it at a bowline competition ?

 

hope you find the owner if you don't, tie tie again.

 

maybe you could sell it to make ends meet ?

I suspect your hands are tied on this one.

At first I thought Left on Croxton Flash was directions to Northwich from Middlewich. Then I spent ages trying to figure out the connection between Rugby and Croxton Flash. Eventually I saw the name of your boat.

Our boat is named after the flash.

 

A few years ago we spent an idylic summers evening in a BP hire boat, we were out on the stern with a bottle of wine, a good book each and a pair of Great Crested Grebes were swimming and diving in Croxton Flash.

 

Hence the name, picture on the stern and my avatar.

 

Good job we didn't moor off Billinge Green Flash.
