Hmm, could be a solution for the possible lack of booms at Henley Festival.
1. All boats enter the Temple island reach.
2. Marsh Lock closes all weir sluices
3. Hambledon Lock opens all weir sluices
4. Boats all dry out on bottom of Temple reach - sorted!
Would give some Thames boaters the "tidal" experience they are missing

Illegal water taxi just giving lifts, up to the passenger if they want to contribute to fuel costs
