I've met them! Her husband was the one that I described in a previous post - I was single-handed and alone in Braunston bottom lock and he (and she) opened the paddles wide open whilst I was climbing up the ladder! She said the same thing to me when I complained once I got to the top of the ladder. I took note of their boat's name but it is lost in the cobwebs of my ageing memory.
