A light at the end of the tunnel?

[SnowCat]

Well........ A yellow board at the top end of the river. Does that count?

 

[Mirror Painter]

Yes, I'm alright. Jack.

It will all be fine for Easter. But cold.

 

[rosssavage]

Yay!! When Howard pulls his finger out and stops holding it all back, we can all enjoy sensible levels and flows. C'mon Howard, I want to use the 2013 license I bought nearly four months ago!!

 

[No Regrets]

Yeah! c'mon Howie!!

 

[boatone]

Before Howard arrives and bursts a blood vessel I am sure he would want you to know that he does NOT hold it all back - in fact if they did that the levels would be even higher ! All the weirs will be fully drawn (except possibly up in Moxons little corner of the world) and the lockies will be as pleased as you will when things get down closer to normal again. Will it happen by Easter ? Possibly but its still going to be perishing cold from the looks of things and not my idea of fun boating weather.
(Thinks ... I really should have stuck Bosun in kennels and gone to Oz with swmbo )

Oh yes, this is what it was like at Chertsey Bridge on 25th July 2007 - well, at least there was some blue sky and white clouds ! - I'll get me coat ..........

Boatone denies involvement in holding it back conspiracy.

Yes and I remember last March having fantastic weather and my thinking how smart I had been to buy a boat the year before and how much fun we would have as a family. But that was before Howard got busy:

You guys will get me in trouble !

 

[SnowCat]

Yes, we all know it's down to the weather and not to anything you are 'doing' ?

 

[boatone]

You guys will get me in trouble !

Don't worry, Howard. Let us know if you get any flack and we'll "send the boys round" (... and possibly one or two girls as well !)

 

[rosssavage]

If you send the boys round B1, you'll have to refit your summer canopy by yourself! I'll struggle to help with no kneecaps...

 

[teddington_lock]

Specially for you guys !

 

[rosssavage]

Thank you!! I look forward to much lower levels when I go to the boat tomorrow

 

[Mirror Painter]

Specially for you guys !

Ha ha - he finally gave in. I'm going to phone the local farmers.

 

[dash300]

Dropped about 4'' in the past 24 hrs below Shepperton Weirs at Weybridge only another 2' to go to get normal levels. I have cleared the sludge off the decking for a third time I do hope it will be the last!
