EA Licenses by Direct Debit

[TrueBlue]

No, No, I'd be happy to pay by DD as my boat lives in the water (though having to send the application by post makes a slight nonsense of the process).

I was trying to make sense of your protest. If your boat is on hard standing, then I agree you don't have to register it until it goes back in the water.

OK you decide when to pay - but you still have to pay for the full calendar year. The only benefit to you is the interest on two months DD payments - if you see what I mean.

Ackshully due to Foulup by DEFRA there are few closures this year 'cos there's no spondoolicks left in the kitty.

I can go up to Days or down to PH. Last year I was completely shut in.

Applying Sod's or Murphy's the river will stay on Reds until April anyway...

Re: I can go up to Days or down to PH

Thats interesting as I was under the impression Bray lock was closed for another month or so which would certainly make you trip difficult.

Unless they've opened it early - might have to take the boat out and have a look, if I can fit under the bridge out of the marina - not much room due to high water levels this time of year.

Re: I can go up to Days or down to PH

That was nearly a Whoops -
But I've looked again at my latest list from EA and Bray is in clear type which indicates restricted access - whatever that means in practice. The text says head bank protection etc, etc.

Would be best to go an have a look as what happens on the ground differs from what Head Office says. 'course you could give the incumbent a bell - he won't have much else to do (ha ha)

Re: When to licence?

If your boat is ashore it doesn't need a licence. Essentially, if your craft is afloat on waters connected to the Thames then you need a licence.
