I do. I think long lines of moorings spoil the waterway experience. I also think BW has got the balance about right at 10:1, as that will keep the impact on the rate of increase in the total number of moorings reasonably small. Also, because it will apply the rule locally there will always be another mooring available nearby for each person whose on-line mooring is not renewed. Adrian Adrian Stott 07956-299966
