IF YOU moor on a river, there is some wise advice from the Thames Environment Agency River Conditions website, Roger Fox tells us.
'There are many boats with very tight mooring lines, some listing, some sinking or sunk along the river bank. Owners are reminded to make regular checks on their boats to ensure that they can cope with the fluctuating river levels and changeable weather conditions'.
Canals
Even on canals this is wise advice in the weather we are getting at the moment, especially those with connections to rivers.
And never use a centre line tightly connected to the ground, for as the water rises—over she goes!
