A narrow boat gets stuck in the sandbar that EVERYONE on the river knows to avoid. This always happens at the end of the afternoon
Another a narrow boat offers to try to tow him off but rips his own rudder off in the process
So, one narrow boat is stuck on the sandbar and the other narrow boat is using him as an anchor so as not to drift back down the river with no rudder.
I ask if they have food and booze (not that I can help with either)
I leave them. No rescue possible until noon tomorrow and that will cost them at least £600 plus repairs
Nighty night
