    We have welcomed our middle son to take Malanka out twice so far, and our youngest will take her out this summer.

    I drummed into them there is no democracy on a boat and that they are in charge and need to let everyone with them know that is the case. 

    I have no issues with them using the boat, they are responsible adults who know that with that comes accountability and they actually welcome that to demonstrate to us that our trust is well placed. 

    They have never let us down and I do not anticipate that any of them ever will. 

    If I cannot trust my own offspring brought up by us and nurtured by us and values given and encouraged by us then who on earth may I trust.

    its a bit like the old ducking stool, if you survived - you were a witch and were burnt, if you drowned - you were innocent. that really helped nobody as you ended up dead either way.

    the current system would work fine - if (and only if) the person in charge has a genuine interest in the well being of the area

    But not only bird watching, angling, cycle riding etc etc :default_norty:

    Ah a wonderful trip to work this morning-----NOT,

    M25 Dartford crossing- bridge shut due to high winds, so southbound traffic using the east tunnel, 17 miles of tailbacks from the tunnel down the A2, I hit the back end at rochester at 6.30 am, from there it took me 2 hours to get to the slip road to the M25 - I didnt get out of first gear at all. on the slip road it took a further 30 minutes to make the next 30 yards, and it would still have been an hour to the tunnel, except joy of joys, they re-opened the bridge, so at 9am the traffic started moving again, 3 1/2 hours to do the 61 miles to work.

    during that trip, I saw some horrendous driving, articulated lorries cutting across 3 lanes at right angles to the traffic flow, cars zipping in and out, lorries leaving it to the last few yards of sliproad to pull off the main carriageway, effectively parking in a lane empty in front of them until a big enough space was left for them to get in, or just sticking their nose in leaving the trailer blocking a lane (which by this point of the slip road the 3 lanes going past the junction had cars travelling at the limit, suddenly encountering this rear end of lorry blocking the lane.

    it was chaos, all due to inconsiderate drivers

    Ah the joys of living in Norfolk :default_biggrin:
