Marshian Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Well, I am unapologetically a fair weather boater. I plan to migrate north in the summer, bird-like, from the Canaries back to my boat in Staffs. Probably sometime in May, weather permitting. Searching for reassurance about the warm, balmy summer to come, I chance upon this thread – rain, rain and maybe warmer rain . Part of my primitive belief system is that we will influence the weather by our confidence (or otherwise) in it, so please stop convincing it to rain! I have to state, categorically, that there will be a fine, warm summer this year. There will be enough rain (in the early hours on some days) to maintain water levels. No rising rivers and flood warnings. If not, those expressing views to the contrary must shoulder the blame for talking-up the rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My signature told everybody that summer started on the first of march but everyone extracted the urine so their bad vibes have made it like it is. I have had to adjust my signature because of this.

Nightwatch Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Oh I see now. Typical, my fault. I'm used to it on Happy Ship Nightwatch. We will probably have a late summer in June,July and August. That's my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at normal water levels the moorings at Museum Gardens leave a lot to be desired. There is about a mile of navigable River Foss in York but little space to moor. It is relatively flood proof (unless the Foss barrier fails like it did last year) The only problem is that once the Ouse starts to rise... which it can do very quicklly, the Foss Barrier is shut preventing boats accessing The Foss. Ideally, a flood lock and some mooring is required. That would mean boaters would have a safe bolthole between Selby & Linton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
