Movements (or lack of)

[Guest]

Since Good Friday until now I have seen one narrowboat and one Ocean 30 passing my home on the Thames, a neighbour says she has seen two Narrowboats. Anyone else seen more than me?

Not much better here on the Trent not even many people on the moorings. Must be the weather.

I have seen about 30 hire cruisers and yachts this weekend on Loch Ness on yhe Caledonian Canal. The sun is even out just now.

I haven't had a proper movement for several days now. Pass the senna!

Looking at the state of the Thames I am suprised that you have seen as much traffic as you report . It seems dangerous to venture beyond the confines of the marina . Perhaps the narrowboat owners are particularly brave? However the water levels and current strength seem to be dropping slowly - we may all be out again by July !

 

[Guest]

Narrowboats brave? Foolhardy or ignorant more like they don't have enough power to turn and stem the flow. As regards 'real' boats I don't think it is the flow keeping them away after all the flow is no worse than a tide and only half the speed that flows in/out of somewhere like Langstone.

They were all in Norfolk. The hire boat companys must have had a brilliant Easter.

No hire boats out on the Thames, red boards out, hire boats in. Not that there are that many left the BSS and high licence fees have seen to that.

I was out on the Clyde at the weekend and it was astonishingly quiet. We don't have the traffic of the Solent or the Thames but Monday was a beautiful day and we more or less had the Kyles of Bute to ourselves. Certainly, Sunday was also sunny but had a stiff North Westerly keeping the temperature well down althougn that wind direction does not give too much of a sea state problem on the Clyde.

Off Largs was very busy due to national youth dinghy racing event but that was about it.

Had lunch in Wargrave and didn't see a single boat on the river. Looking at the speed of the current and the fact that all of the pontoons were below the surface I wasn't too surprised.

We were out in the SW, Torbay/Dartmouth.

Not much about on Saturday, with loads of visitors spots. BXM had 3 Visitors on Friday nite.

things picked up Sunday Afternoon when the sun came out, but mostly local boats, not many visitors.

Talked to the guy on the fuel barge, they were very quite for easter, and had sent home one of the staff.

Loads of tourists in Dartmouth, but not much on the water.
