If this is where my Mum used to call The Bitter Lakes,  (is that the correct name) it is a huge expanse of water between each end of the Canal.   I have been up and down it several times many many moons ago when Dad was in the forces and we used to go with him.     I should think the two people in charge of each vessel could do with going to SpecSavers.

 

Or thinking about it can you imagine one of them shouting "it is my right of way you know".

Is it my imagination or are Clive's boats getting bigger?

Nah thats Robin's supply vessel to go round the rivers supplying all the happy boaters. Don't you know.

I think one of them was a hire craft, but it's ok, he paid his collision damage waiver. lol..

The point is, with the huge mass of these ships, you can predict a collision many minutes away, but there is very little that can be done even if you put both into full reverse.
