@CRTBoating "making life better by the water", unless you actually want to use it for its intended purpose, boat navigation.

[Cruising the Cut @CruisingTheCut]

Wow. The @CanalRiverTrust has announced from April 2024, continuous cruisers will pay more for their licence than boats with home moorings. There'll also be an increase to the surcharge for widebeams. And the prompt payment /online payment discount is being reduced for everyone.

[Amy Ibrahim (she/her) @amy_ibrahim1]

Surcharges for live-in boaters? Because we use the waterways?
Moving boats are the reason why waterways are safe and how you are able to generate income @CRTBoating
Instead, stop wasting money on bookable moorings that nobody asked for @NbtaLondon

[Amy Ibrahim (she/her) @amy_ibrahim1]

@R0bMoon Hahaha nice
