Its amazing how many boats can be packed into the great Northern Basin.

Whats on over the weekend just in case anyone wants to visit. No boats please as we are overflowing!!!

.

With the weather absolutely perfect today we have had a steady stream of boats. How John Baylis ( Harbour Master)  managed to pack them into the basin was a sight to behold. There are still another 2 or 3 boats to be squeezed in somewhere and once John has achieved that task, all the rest of the boats will be moored below lock. Here is my photo contribution of the mayhem for today.

Next boat winding

and another

A tight squeeze. Ian had to use the pole to keep the green boat from drifting out. Whoever had been holding it was called away and didn't tie her up properly.

and yet another

All in for now.

View from the road bridge. All the boats in front are visiting boats with those behind ECP&DA permanent  moorers.
