Bank Holiday Weekend

Thanks. 40cm (above and to the side) will only be enough when it is zero or below and perfectly calm so I will think about making my radar bridge fold-able. But not this year. I want to get back in the water. You seem to know a lot about locks. What do you do for a living?

Thats WAS a joke, right?

Hi, Dan and welcome to the forum,nice to hear from someone who earns their living on the river,comments from your perspective would be most interesting,as you may be aware we already have a representative from the lock keeping bunch and one or two others.

Take a bow that man and, as OldGit says, welcome to the forum.

I am supposed to be having one of there skippers coming to work for us am not sure weather to let him on the big boats straight away or not though i will have to stand by him him for a few days i think. Im told that most of their boats are like driving cars but i have never tried.

Yes must drive like tailgating Audis in the outside lane of the M25 then

Salters normally much better behaved

we like to think that the river is a place for relaxation and peacefullness so we try to keep it that way where possible. but if one of our boats ever does cause a problem from speeding let me know so i can take the skipper to one side and have a word

the only way to make a day on the river any better is by finishing it with a refreshing pint in the pub
