Glad it worked out OK for you.

The Webmaster brings up a good point about the sign he had pictures of. Every year their is also random talk about cutting boats adrift at public docking areas, private docks, etc.

Thought I'd attach the RSA that pertains to casting boats adrift for everyone's perusal. My advice remains the same, if it's moored or docked illegally, and the owner refuses your friendly advice to heave too, call the MPs and let them deal with it....
