A Pair Of Anchors.

[floydraser]

A right pair too!

Holdfast 20lb and CQR 15lb. Open to offers here before I put them up on Ebay.

Trouble is, them there anchors don't hold too well in mud - might as well chuck your drill over!!!!

That's why they're up for grabs. See what I did there? 

Someone higher up the food chain may confirm this but I think Edward Woodward would have purchased these for use on the Thames, and the sea on the way round there from Lowestoft. 

They are generally sell on Ebay for about £30 so I am asking the same but £50 for the two. A lady from the west coast has asked if she can have one at a reduced price because "it will cost me £60 to collect it". I love the cheek of these people. I told her boating is expensive.

Actually, I would have taken one (I'm on the Great Ouse, and have a gravel bottom a lot of the time)

But presumably you are in the Norfolk area, so postage or collection would not make it cost effective. Shame it wasn't a week or two earlier, when I was up 2 weekends on the trot !

I'm sure you can get cream for that

Didn't take long for a wise crack at my expense !

But then I give enough out myself, so deserved it ...

The problem with the gravel bottom on the RGO is that it's often above the top of the RGO.

As you found out at hemmingford lock.

You're not wrong there - It is a bit disconcerting when you think you can see the bottom of the river, and you are in the middle of the channel !

And a lot of vegetation too, that I'm sure will get sucked in or caught round the prop at some time.

[marshman]

Probably won't bother the prop too much but it might upset the filter......!

Dragging those anchors just above the river bed would soon clear the reeds a bit

I bet that plays havoc with the toilet roll!
