I passed on details of your complaint to fellow volunteers and CRT staff today, and judging by the flurry of emails it generated it has not gone unheeded. One of the volunteers reported seeing Inca adrift at one point and stopping to pin her back in, so maybe we weren't the only boat causing the problem. Anyhow, we have all reminded ourselves to be more careful.As you say Jena is a big boat and she can create a lot more wash than a narrow boat would at the same speed.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><br />Neil<br /><br />Herbie Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159526146136750929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126233590129557741.post-52514103556589251802016-11-21T03:59:27.264-08:002016-11-21T03:59:27.264-08:00Hi Neil , Many thanks for your comment . The pictu...Hi Neil , Many thanks for your comment . The picture on the blog of Jena was at the beginning of the Month and was at the park moorings at Yeading . As you can see from the wash from his prop he wasn't hanging around. The next time was when we were moored at Cowley . Not as fast as the first time ,but nowhere near tick over speed .I referred to it as a Jolly because that's what it looked like. There were 8 CRT staff / volunteers on board including Matthew Symonds. There is in fact a picture on one of the Facebook boating groups of them going up Denham lock on that day ,I think about the 8 th November. I think the problem is that the person steering doesent realise what an effect it has on moored boats , Jena is a big boat and so has a big displacement which at speed is what causes the problems. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it on the blog ,except for CRT have just done a survey about speeding boats and in the last few days have released their findings, where I think most people said tick over past moored boats should be common practice .. <br /><br /> Kind regards GaryGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040489252197231511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126233590129557741.post-65710243814957819202016-11-20T16:25:19.552-08:002016-11-20T16:25:19.552-08:00As one of the volunteers who sometimes drives CRT ...As one of the volunteers who sometimes drives CRT boat Jena, I am sorry to hear that she passed you at an unacceptable speed. One or two "trainee drivers" have been on the boat recently so maybe it was one of them. I can't recognise who it is from the photo, a number of us are old enough to have grey hair, and old enough to know better than to speed past moored boats! I will pass on your complaint to my colleagues and call for improved behaviour. I suspect that the senior CRT person on board was not on a jolly, but in the last couple of weeks they were going up and down between Brentford and Ricky, looking at mooring locations. If you would like to let me know what date the incident(s) occurred I might be able to home in on who was driving that day.Herbie Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159526146136750929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126233590129557741.post-74548187222895699302016-11-20T08:03:11.815-08:002016-11-20T08:03:11.815-08:00Hi Debby , This is all that Carolyn has.

Santa is making his lists and is wondering which sort she has - does it have an anti-vandal key attachment too?<br />Debbynb Bonjourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570964751076622402noreply@blogger.com
