Totally impractical on terms of IT costs alone - especially with the history of the UK government's previous forays into computerised systems (and if it is a paper based system which would rely on people being totally honest, well - 'nuff said really!).
Your plan also appears to completely disregard where the water 'to float your boat' is sourced from - or where it ends up. Trevor Back on 'Wyrd' after a second - and rather longer - trip to the end of Slough Arm, on nb.Arun this time, and following nb.Earnest (we were supposed to be 'in company' but, once out of sight, I suspect they either started paddling or harnessed up the dogs for a bit of bow-hauling .. LOL!) (I have to add that I was much impressed with Terry's modified access to his weed-hatch and its greatly improved accessibility (over 'Wyrd's) to the prop and rudder!) T.
