Absolutely! I'm sorry, the five stop system sounds like the
definition of continuous mooring to me. If that's the attitude of the
local Patrol Officers, no wonder the SE unit has so much of a problem.
"Continuous Cruising" means a genuine journey around the system, not
a source of cheap housing.
But don't worry, Trevor, BW have admitted that they don't enforce the
CC rules, because there's no money in it, so the abuse will
continue. :-{{{
All the best

There are no strangers on the cut, only boaters we've yet to meet.
