We think there...Could the animal have been a mink? We think there is one around the Hanbury locks, but like Brenda I was too slow to get a photo - or maybe it was too quick?! <br /><br />With reference to life jackets, since I fell in whilst lock keeping a couple of years ago, I do wear mine most of the time whilst locking. Even though I was outside the lock the water was very deep and I went down under the boat I was supposed to be helping. I have to say I was very glad of the life jacket that inflated with some force and brought me to the surface. I am also glad to say that the boaters did everything right - the most important thing was taking the boat out of gear.<br /><br />Since the Harecastle disaster Chris wears his in tunnels unless they are very short and I stay on the back deck (I am not a fan of tunnels and prefer to hide inside and pretend they are not happening!).<br /><br />Enjoy your holiday from your holiday!
