Canal 'continuous cruisers' live aboard their boats and are required to travel a minimum distance each year. During this period of COVID-19 crisis, many continuous cruisers may want or need to stay put in one particular area because of self-isolation, family needs, ease of shopping and supplies or other reasons. The C&RT Licensing Officers can make helpful decisions in individual cases, however, due to the current and future scale of the crisis, it would be easier for boaters and much less strain on C&RT staff resources to instigate a blanket suspension, We are asking that C&RT suspend the minimum distance requirements until at least the end of June 2020, so that that period is not counted in the 12 month assessment of distance moved. We are not asking for blanket suspension of normal 14 day or shorter mooring limits, nor of the rules against 'shuffling' up and down the canal.
