Antony Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 ???????That reminds me of the day my mate asked me why do divers fall backwards from a boat ? I looked at him stupidly and said “Well if they fell forward they would still be in the boat ya clown ? ?????? 24 minutes ago, TheBiscuits said: Yes, I have used the boatlaunch website before.

I'd have thought he could manhandle a 'rowing boat' and slide it in virtually anywhere along the Foss Dyke or Witham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not been charged yet. ETA: it depends how heavy the boat is as to whether or not he can just launch it bankside. If it is quite light the Pyewipe might be the best bet as that is the lowest bank side. Edited December 20, 2018 by Naughty Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
