One day, Noddy set out early in the morning and headed up a dead straight river that ran due East/West (but no clues which way) to the pub. He arrived in time to get the last space on the pontoon, tied up and went indoors before getting completely trolleyed. By lobbing out time, there was an hour and a half of ebb left, and a SW F5 blowing across the pontoon. An RYA fog had descended and reduced visibility to zero. A local fisherman had moved Noddy's 17 foot dory to the space between two piles across the river, but no-one could see it. The pub water taxi was refusing to take drunks and Noddy was in desperate need of a kebab, but the kebab wagon was on the other side of the river.

You spot Noddy untying the nearest dinghy and attempting to set off into the murk and run to find PC Plod. Unfortunately, despite his powers of arrest for drunk boating, PC Plod is not allowed to pursue Noddy owing to Health and Safety issues. What now, Big Ears?

What I like most about this forum is the charming and generous nature of the people you meet... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Sorry Wiggo, but as you are determined to persist, a river that runs East/West runs from East TO West. A river running the other way runs West/East. That is an established convention in maritime circles. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Having conceded that your geometry is correct, and that if you lift both rings level with the dory's cleats you get a theoretical available lateral displacement of 3ft, perhaps you would explain how you are going to achieve that? Lifting both rings at once, that is.

Just then, Gollywog came round the corner in his Fairprinceline. Heyup Noddy he says, you've got yerself in a right state, drag yerself on ear.

Noddy stumbled onto the big Fairprinceline and with it's big radar and colour chart plotter, they soon found the kebab shop, but it was unfortunately closed. Never mind said Golly, we've got everything here to make kebabs, so with a cloud of black smoke and flames, Golly attacked the galley stove. WNS

Er .. one at a time would do wouldn't it? If you tied them up.

 

[Wiggo]

Well, that would do it, particularly as he kindly told us earlier that they have lines tied to the top of the piles to enable you to lift them. Otherwise, you just lift the one at the upstream end and let the tide push that end out to one side while you then go to the other.
