I think these covers are a great idea for making space when moored and for use on rivers. But when a boat comes round a bend on a narrow canal with the cover up in the rain and the steerer either peering through the plastic or craning round the sides of the cover, it can get a bit hairy with you hoping he has noticed you coming and that he will move over enough. At this point like us you may start working out what avoiding action you might have to take if he doesn't.

Several new moorers have spawned sparkly new pram-style steerer's shelters in the last week or so courtesy of "Waterside Boat Covers" Tut . . tut . . . what's the world coming to ? What's wrong with getting wet these days ? Grumble . . . . moan . . . whinge . . . I wouldn't have one of those on Uncle Mort it it came with a free haddock.
