Poor boat handling to blame

WE TRAVELLED down the Buckby Flight [Grand Union Canal] on Tuesday, the day before the lock failure, and can report the flight was in good condition, better than it had looked for years, writes Emma Payne.

More boats stopped by Rufford closure

I have just read the article on this closure.

No mention has been made of the St Mary's Marina directly opposite Fetlar's Wharf on the Arm, boats that either cannot return to their mooring, or are stuck in the marina.

This marina also has facilities for boats being taken out of the water for blacking etc.

We were due to be taken out on Monday 3rd August. Our mooring is on the Leeds and Liverpool at Scarisbrick, but because of our other commitments this work will now have to wait until next year.

It is just not good enough.
