Hi Allen I was interested to read your report of your trip up Kyme Eau. It's a shame that you weren't around at the end of May when we had our boat gathering in South Kyme. Eleven boats made it up to South Kyme, including NB Jubilee. The village really made us feel welcome and many came out to see us arrive. They had organised a scarecrow competition and asked my wife, as Chairman of SNT, to judge it along with some other helpers. We had a Barbeque, with all the food sponsored by Lincs Waterways Partnership. There was a special church service organised for the 'Boat People', the hyms were better chosen this time as 'For those in peril on the sea' was not among them. We have an alternative version. This was followed by lunch for 47 in the pub which had only reopened the previous Wednesday. The reason for the problems at Bottom Lock was that last year we knew there were problems and some divers from RAF diving club came over to look. We knew there was a real problem when one of them went into the lock with the gates closed and reappeared on the other side of the gate. "There's a bloody great hole in this gate" he said. It turned out that one of the paddles had gone AWOL. If anyone finds it please let us know!! The problem was solved by putting a patch over the paddle hole in the gate. Pleased though that you enjoyed the Slea, the more that use it the less the weed will grow. Steve NB Kyme
