It does to the museum at Foxton. Mike the curator keeps a windlass ready as water-flows down the overflow channels when people get the order wrong cause the side ponds to spill over onto the path and into the museum. As the footpath outside the museum starts to disappear under the flood, Mike will disappear with his windlass muttering some local curse against the boater who got it wrong.
