Out on my own with the dog....just gone through Sonning lock with another boat who did all the work....the lock is unmanned.....looks like I will have to think it through on the way back...

Ironically one of my previous posts was enquiring about exactly this.....

Listen out for naughty words in an hour or so!!!

Calm down dear, it's only a lock

Bad form to let someone else do ALL the work, there are two ends to a lock you know!

But but but I had to hold TWO lines AND panic!

And there were three on their boat so I didn't feel guilty

 

[Captain Coochie]

I normally end up doing the lock by myself while i'm single handed while all the couples and groups of people relax on thier boats

First I was afraid... I was petrified
Thinking ' look at all those bastids on the locks four sides'
Etc

Perfect. Even with a crowd
<takes a bow>

Next!

DIY.

The three ages of lock operation......

A.When you first start out.........Fear.

B.Just getting hang of it....Embarrassment when you cock it up.

C.Cock sure...No, just stay on your boat. Allow me to show you all just how good I am at this.
Look and learn.Expert at work.

D.The old hand.........Am I the only B*****d in this lock who can be a**** to get off the boat and work the lock while the rest of you ******* sit there and watch.
