Coronavirus & boating update, 13 May 2020 When we were in touch yesterday we said that, along with other navigation authorities, we would review when navigation might re-open in light of the new Government advice. Government have issued clarification this morning, 13 May. We are now able to set out our approach to opening our navigation to private boating in England. Please remember that social distancing continues to be maintained, with only members of your household able to go aboard your boat until further notice. From today, Weds 13 May 2020 You may undertake short boating trips only from today – avoiding use of locks and any staff-operated structures if possible – providing, as per current government guidance, you do not stay away from home overnight and return to your home mooring (where you have one). From Saturday, 23 May: Mooring exemptions will come to an end and our guidance for continuous cruisers comes back in to force. This doesn’t mean that every boat without a home mooring needs to move on this day, just that we’d expect you to move off your current mooring within 14 days (i.e. by 6 June). If you are in a high-risk group, and need to continue to shield or self-isolate, then special arrangements can be agreed with your licence support officer if you haven’t already told us. From Monday, 1 June: On this date, we anticipate that our navigations will re-open in full, subject to some exceptions*, and you will be able to undertake longer journeys. According to current Government guidance, those who do not liveaboard should not stay overnight. We will seek further clarification as to whether overnight stays will be permissible once full navigation resumes. *Please bear in mind that it will take time to get the entire network fully operational, and booking for some passages and services will be required. Some sections may be closed for a further period. Our website will be updated with the details closer to the time. Wales: If you or your boat is on a Welsh canal please follow the latest advice which may be different from above. Please stay safe and stay alert at all times.

Yesterday 13th June 2020, a "ZOOM" meeting took place with "Ownershare Cruising" and syndicate chairpersons for each boat. The main outcome of this meeting was very positive to when we start cruising again. The main positive outcome was to be fair to those who have lost time on the boat, so, it was decided that those who have had use of the boat forfeit one of their remaining weeks to those who unfortunately missed out. This can only be done once the ok is given to "carry on cruising" Instead of cruising from Friday to Friday it will be Saturday PM to Thursday Lunch time. This is to allow excessive professional cleaning to take place during change over. Wipe clean mattress covers are to be supplied and hand sanitizer to be supplied to all boats. Any further updates will be posted as and when. |
