Slinging your boat from the full lock, then emptying the lock is a practical way of getting at the bottom. Normally one lifts the boat which costs plenty dinero Senor, bbut holding the boat at a level in rope slings and dropping the water out from under it works just as well.

Malc only did what some of us might have considered doing if we were cheeky enough!



Finally living the dream!

Very true Clive, but i have quite a few mates who moored at Bardney during Malcoms time. He had a habit of not telling anybody what he was going to do it seems. Hence a lot of friction.
