Date - Saturday 3 November 2007 Start - 0900 hrs End - Home moorings 4.15 pm There were a few fireworks going of along the towing path last night which didn't impress Magic very much. While walking him this morning I came across some typed, encapsulated notices saying that all visitor moorings in Cropredy were ether 48 hr or 14 day and if there was no indication of the limit then it was 14 days and a charge would be made for overstaying. The result of this is that all the residential boats have left the visitor moorings. We also noticed that there were no boats on the long term moorings above the lock and very few up near Broadmoor lock. We left the moorings at 9 am in brilliant sunshine that lasted most of the morning before it started clouding over and turning cool. We met one or two private boats and about 5 Ownerships, I hope they have read the stoppage list. BW ave things ready for the stoppages next week with new lock gates, work boats etc in the area. We arrived back at our home moorings at Napton about quarter past four after stopping to fill with water at Marston Doles top lock.
