That’s why we said to drift past the rubbish in neutral. Your still displacing water in neutral! Yes but you’re not going to get something wrapped around a non-rotating propellor.

I just think it's another example in the reduction of maixtenance. I think it’s an example of what happens when/after a river has been in flood.

That wouldn't work with a boat like A41, and the reasons why were explained way back towards the beginning of the thread, . . stick to pontificating and/or advising over subjects you know something about ! If it’s that badly designed / delicate in real world situation, perhaps kris should sell it and buy a proper boat?

Remote, exactly. So how does a boat jammed in the lock by the debris now get swept over a wier? Because it's stern gear is now damaged? You are clutching at straws here Tony. You need to read what I've said more carefully. Nowhere have I said or suggested that a boat 'jammed' in a lock could be carried over a nearby weir, and nor in fact is the raft of floating rubbish in question adjacent to any lock. I'm certainly not clutching at straws, whereas you undoubtedly have a very firm grasp on some serious confusion. You have a very firm grasp on a large bunch of them Tony. And you need to read what I actually wrote, you need to make up your mind which impending disaster is going to befall his boat.

Anyway you will all be glad to here that it's broken up now and spread out along the cut. So I'll pen some of it down the lock then I should be able to move.

On the subject of overstaying, i called CRT yesterday morning and explained my starter had packed up, they put me through to the chap in charge of the canal and he issued me a two week overstay permit/thing to stick in the boat window.
Couldn't have been more helpful.
