Yeah, i would have thought you would/could simply stear the buttys bow intro the winding hole, pull the stearn round with a line, pull the boat of backwards a bit, and go on the way you came. I too have spent time bully emilyanne round silted up winding holes. The one in the middlewich cut springing to mind recently. - We ended up plowing mud about 18inches out of the water all around the bow. We're only 58ft and were expecting it to be fine! Daniel
