Uh oh ! I agree with Sue again. I have no idea what speed I travel past moored boats, but usually slow enough not to upset (!) them. I think I make less disturbance pressing on to within a boat and a half length of the moored one, then slipping into neutral. That doesn't work for long lines of moored boats. In general I would say that 5 mph is quite wash makingly fast on Uncle Mort and it's difficult to keep up that speed for long in polite company. So therefore, like Sue, I would not decribe 3mph as slow. Anyway I budget 4 lock miles per hour and generally beat the plan. Which is nice. Beeky
