I believe 80 boats / boaters were told to leave Barton Turn Marina within the last two years. A friend was told to leave a long term mooring at Napton when a house owner queried their residential status. Most boaters living on the canals are living semi illegally, hence the lack of security. Beware of boaters that tell you that "you can moor here and get no hastle" . BW say that if you have no mooring you have to move around the country in a progresive journey. If you want to fight this all well & good but it is a load of hastle. Sue nb Nackered Navvy ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
