How quiet are the canals......

We have been cruising for just over a week and certain things seem to be noticeable.  We have arrived at what I consider to be a prime mooring site to find there is still space.  Where have all the boats gone?  This afternoon we arrived at Stoke Bruerne, just before 3 p.m. and found a prime mooring.  We did the same on Friday afternoon and again on Saturday afternoon (we never moved on Sunday - time for a day off!!)


SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SPACE FOR OTHER MOORERS....!!

So, where have all the boats gone, during the last few days we have passed very few boats on the move, although we have seen many more boats moored up.   Are we now at the stage where continuous 'moorers' outnumber continuous cruisers?

I appreciate that we have been off of the cut for the last five years, apart from the odd trip,  but things do seem to be changing and not necessarily for the better.

I shall reserve judgement and see how the situation improves, or not, as I get closer to my destination - London!!
