For what its worth I would interpret a wet shed as "open air" as generally at least, one end would be open to the elements. If you are fortunate to be able to close it up completely, just open the doors!!!!

Sorry Marshman, my comment re 'wet sheds' was very tongue in cheek, just to demonstrate how fraught with problems trying to re-write the law is, as the BA seem to be trying to do. I shall be following the law set out by Government and approved by Parliament, so shall be using my boat and staying on board with my wife from 12th April, providing the dates don't change.

Ditto but on my todd

Well, for what its worth I shall be on mine for the day on the 29th, and on my own!!

I don't think I shall be doing anything wrong, but if I am.......tough!!!!!

Unless the rules change I will be on Ranworth Breeze from the 13th April or maybe going down on the 12th. 

I will have already missed one weeks allocation at the end of March.

We are going up on the 11th and we won't sleep until after midnight.

You needn't be, just come up with some new jokes!

[unclemike]

just a thought , from dusk on the 11th till dawn on the 12th IS technically classed as the night of the 11th, nowhere in the regs does it mention sleeping, only overnight stays

It's the forum / girly friendly jokes I struggle to find.

White horse goes into a bar.

Landlord - Wow, a white horse, we don't get many of you in here,  White horse - Yes, heard it all before.  Landlord - we have a whiskey named after you btw.  White horse - Really ?   Eric ?

 

Anyroadup being onboard on my todd is fine with me, due to the guidelines I could only invite MrsG along with Purdey as not allowed mixing overnight with other households.  I could of course take Purdey dog but I'm gonna be proper busy and her next visit onboard will be her first one so need to be able to concentrate on her with my full attention to get her boat friendly / savvy.

It'll be a working three days for me but I fully intend to get 'B.A' out of t wetshed for an overnighter, probably on Barton Broad on t mudweight.

And here another 'thought'

Mon 12th April commences precisely at one second past midnight of the 11th, perfectly / correctly / 100%,  not dawn overcast or t'otherwise

As long as I'm onboard after 0001 on the 12th then as far as I'm concerned I am complying with guidelines, asleep, wide awake as makes no difference

 I see the Rangers are out and about watching and waiting.

Perhaps they are training a new intake rather than doing their 'big brother' impersonation.

[Meantime]

Perhaps they are just doing their job. There are still other people who work on and around the river, people who live on their boats etc, some of whom may still need help, or guidance. Life on the rivers continues, even if it is at a quieter pace than normal.

Indeed, by and large the Rangers are very definitely the good guys. I suspect that the moorings might also be having their final check prior to us lot blasting the spiders and other assorted livestock from out of our engine compartments. 

[Hylander]

I agree and to most of us they are a welcome sight.

Broadsbeat have been on the rivers throughout the lockdown as they Twit on a regular basis. 

They seem to be keeping an eye on moorings and marinas which is probably a good idea while it's quiet and not many folk about.

They need the money to pay for all the extra plug in points and the fearsome crushed concrete walkways!
