In the past, with a light boat which bobbed around on the water like a cork, Audlem was always a bit of an challenge. With Justice, I hardly notice it. Coming through a couple of weeks ago it was only the problems of a boat we were following which reminded us of the problems we used to have.
Wide locks are easier in a heavy boat too. Steve Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
