It would work well all the time at Portishead if skippers obeyed the lights Hands up who knows what green/white/green means! (Hint to resident boats - it's on the handbook page entitled "Locking Procedure" )

GWG is enter under instruction or words to that effect?

Anyway I had boats with a bit of a free for all Sunday. I find the worst ones are the small fishing boats.

One problem though is if you come out of Penarth just before locking you are not sure who was queuing in the bay and who has just arrived at the same time as you.

Anyway when the chips are down peeps are helpful as one very helpful yacht towed us back to the marina when the engine would not start.
