Yep I realise now it has been seen here before Ross, and the couple arguing is very amusing, talk about hanging your dirty washing out in public, and he's been married 4 times! haha, awesome.

We've seen it a couple of times. Still on the same stretch. My guess is its never been up caen hill and just plods along between Bath and Bradford upon Avon.
Paul, I wouldn't worry about how far you need to go. If your doing anything over 20 miles in one direction and don't overstay anywhere, you will be fine.
If your worried you not going far enough, you probably aren't.

We met the owner of Sharpness, a former tunnel tug boat for the Wasthill Tunnel (on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal), in 2013, but it was a different chap, the boat had already been sold on by then. We also saw Sharpness in Braunston 2 years ago, July 2019. Get your jabs and you can track Sharpness down again for us.

Do you mean it’s an eye opener as far as the sense of entitlement and refusal to comply with the rules they signed up to regarding continuous cruising, or what? . . . . . . . . . Interesting points from the CRT guy too, there seems to be a couple of things open to interpretation regarding rules surrounding the definition of a continuous cruiser from the CRT point of view. The minimum cruising distance being one which is not specified in law. He admitted they can't specify an exact distance by law but then said boaters should follow the CRT guidance. Seems a real grey area to me. Isn't all this just to stop these boating communes hogging the moorings long term? Nothing said or published by the C&RT should ever be believed or taken at face value. As a navigation authority it lost its way on the day it took over from British Waterways, and from there on focussed all its attention on perfecting its own special brands of corporate megalomania and dishonesty , . . to the total exclusion of all of its intended functions. To begin the lengthy and baffling process of acquiring some insight into what makes this rotten to the core organization tick, you could do worse than start with the KandA website, . . particularly the many informative and well researched articles credited to or quoting Nigel Moore. This link will take you straight the website, with links to most of Nigel's publications, and plenty of other well researched and informative stuff from Pamela Smith : -- < kanda.boatingcommunity.org.uk/tag/tony-dunkley/ >

One should bear in mind that the legislation was altered to allow no home mooring ... So what legislation was altered to allow no home mooring? Which part of which Act was repealed? Alternatively, what byelaw was repealed or altered?

Alternatively, what byelaw was repealed or altered? You misunderstand me, my fault I guess for not explaining properly. As I understand it from Nigel, the legislation in its original draft required all boats to have a home mooring. As it went through Parliament representations were made on behalf of those who wanted to explore the whole system over years, so the draft legislation was altered to allow for this. Apparently this is all in Hansard if one cares to have a spare few weeks to find it! Pre-1995 act, was there a requirement to have a home mooring or not? Can’t remember.

"(ii)the applicant for the relevant consent satisfies the Board that the vessel to which the application relates will be used bona fide for navigation throughout the period for which the consent is valid without remaining continuously in any one place for more than 14 days or such longer period as is reasonable in the circumstances."
And I were like "by'eck she's just had a baby I wonder how that happened. Surely it's reasonable in the circumstances to stay a bit longer"
Isn't it.

And I were like "by'eck she's just had a baby I wonder how that happened. Surely it's reasonable in the circumstances to stay a bit longer" Isn't it. Why is it reasonable plant yourself in one place just cause a baby popped out? Doesn’t happen to proper nomads. Ok if she had some medical complications then maybe, but I’m told that childbirth is a natural condition, not an illness. Allegedly. Try parking your car in a 1hr slot for weeks and using the excuse “Oh I seem to have just had a baby!” and see where that gets you. If it’s reasonable to overstay just because one has had a baby, is it also reasonable to overstay because one has just done an enormous shit? If not, that is discrimination on the grounds of gender and SO UNFAIR!
