Again!

So here we are on the last Friday before we lift naughty cal out of the water and the fossdyke is in flood again. Unless water levels drop dramatically during the course of the day, we will miss our last evening in Lincoln boat club for a while. Which will be a great shame.

Hopefully the water level will subside through the day because we really don't fancy yet another weekend locked into the marina.

  1. Hi

    So when I get to the Fossdyke where is the safest place to moor without having to go into the Marina? And what about the trip to Boston is the Witham a scary river or benignish?

    1. The safest place to moor on the fossdyke if the water levels rise is probably the high flood wall in saxilby.

      The witham is usually benign but has been unpredictable of late. Levels have been high recently and not much rain is sending it into flood. All of the moorings on the witham ate floating pontoons so no worries there.

      If you can take a leisurely trip up and down the witham. There are some lovely villages beyond the flood banks.

  3. Oh yes.

    There are so many places to visit on the witham that I can't list them all I'm afraid. Our favourite mooring spots are fiskerton fen, white horse, dog dyke to name but a few. Pretty much every mooring has something to see. Oh and you will need a few days to do Boston justice.
