Hello Martin, Did you see the link I posted elsewhere to the photo of BW's attempt to endanger your health with a windlass? http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/mbb/mbb171.jpg The windlass was left on the raised paddle through all the speeches, with the dignitaries and watching crowds just feet away! http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/mbb/mbb169.jpg http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/mbb/mbb173.jpg There was also a test of the effectiveness of the deck drain holes on the boat carrying the VIP guests, who had to dash into the cabin the stay dry: http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/mbb/mbb168.jpg Readers will be pleased to hear, though, that there were no bollards beside this new lock and no cill warning signs attached to the balance beams. -- Martin Clark Internet Boaters' Database http://www.lock13.co.uk/boats Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
