We have the added entertainment of the locks in our boating area. On a busy day families come with their picnics to watch the hire boats get in a tangle, and the kids earning a few pounds by helping out. Main disasters are crashing off the walls/gates, tieing up tight and then letting water out or getting stuck on the top cill.
When we are going through a lock we always let any hired narrowboats go in first, I dont think a glassfibre boat will stand a chance against a 60 feet steel barge with no brakes!
No locks is one big advantage of the Broads Jeff. A couple of pics to show the "fun" that you are missing out on
