From a moored up and boats passing on the midlands narrow canals point of view we notice the K&A seems to have more fast passers then any other group though they are run close by boats from north of Wigan/Keadby and those coming or going to rallies and trying to get ahead (leaving) or catch up (going). With this in mind we use a number of fenders and 2 main ropes plus a spring - though some of these clowns even test this lot! - On Sun, 5/4/08, Allan Cazaly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
