The Blog That Used to be Starcross: Update on That Barrow
http://narrowboatstarcross.blogspot.com/2015/07/update-on-that-barrow.html
The Blog That Used to be Starcross. Boats, Beer and Buses. Monday, 13 July 2015. Update on That Barrow. Despite the month-long stoppage at the Lune Aqueduct, CRT has asked its volunteer moorings wardens to continue checks. I check the busy Lancaster moorings more often than the rest of my patch and last Friday, after doing so, I continued up to the breach to see what was going on. CRT staff have installed a rather impressive pipe along the towpath to secure the water supply for the section below the leak.

The Blog That Used to be Starcross. Boats, Beer and Buses. A Guide to Boat Ownership. It occurs to me that this section has become rather lengthy over the time I've been writing it, so to begin with here is a very quick summary of the costs of boat ownership as I have experienced them:. Boat Licence 2012/13 (12 months) £710 with prompt payment discount. Insurance: 2012/13 £112 per annum. Bottom Blacking - About £400 - every 2-3 years. River Canal Rescue - £147 (with no claims bonus). 2 Get a Licence.

The Blog That Used to be Starcross: Unlucky for Some
http://narrowboatstarcross.blogspot.com/2015/07/unlucky-for-some.html
The Blog That Used to be Starcross. Boats, Beer and Buses. Monday, 27 July 2015. Sometimes you really do have to feel sorry for people. I did so today when monitoring the 48hr moorings at Lancaster. A coach party had just arrived and were making their way through the rain along the wharf to join the Budgie Transport trip boat. On my way back from checking my other mooring sites, I called in to see how work was getting on and found that this party had been particularly unlucky. Other sites of Interest?

The Blog That Used to be Starcross. Boats, Beer and Buses. Friday, 7 August 2015. Milk Bottles. . . Yes, "Milk Bottles"! I'm pretty much confined to barracks at the moment, having hurt my back, meaning I can't get out and about very much. No monitoring of moorings for CRT and I've even had to turn down the offer a day or two's boating on Jubilee with Halfie. But I can still sit behind a computer (as long as I don 't do so for very long), so here goes. And there have been other things along the way. I don...
