PERHAPS it was fortunate that the weather discouraged boaters to be out at Easter. If many had taken to their boats they might well have had problems with visitor moorings.

AS I'VE mentioned before, Canal & River Trust is certainly going to have to up its game with regard to encouraging volunteers—and try to remember it is no longer British Waterways.

AFTER the debacle of the Crick Tunnel I have seen another example of CaRT not knowing details of its system and events.

INTERESTING to read of David Hymer's recent experience with trying to get information from the Canal & River Trust website which apparently mirrors the comments I made last week.

FOLLOWING Victor's revelation about the Waterscape website directing you to the new CaRT website with little information, I couldn't believe my ears in July when I tried to ring the lock keeper at Brentford to book a passage.

IT HAS been noticeable, whilst passing along the Regent's Canal at around the time of the CART launch, of the amount of interest generated at the locks by seeing a boat actually using them.

VICTOR certainly had a point about the number of boats moored on the Trent & Mersey. Coming through Fradley Junction on the way South last week it took us an hour and a half to find somewhere to moor for lunch.
