This is what you get

A fictional boat, four months of moorings. Everything below is rendered by exactly the same code that produces a real cruising log — including the stay at Hillmorton that runs past fourteen days, flagged in red, because a sample showing only clean compliance would not show you the thing you are actually worried about.

About this record

10 of 10 entries were recorded within a day of the mooring they describe; the remaining 0 were added later from the boater's recollection or other records.

The Recorded column shows how the first entry at each mooring was made. Positions marked GPS were taken from the device's location at the time of recording; those marked by hand were entered by the owner, and “added later” means the entry was written more than a day after the date it describes. Range of movement is the greatest straight-line distance between any two moorings in the period, not the distance travelled. A new mooring is counted when the boat is more than half a mile from the previous one; this is CruiseProof's rule of thumb, not the Trust's test. The Canal & River Trust sets no minimum distance, and says a boat should not remain in one place beyond 14 days, or less where signs say so.

This document is generated by CruiseProof from records entered by the boat's owner. CruiseProof is independent of the Canal & River Trust and this record is not a determination of compliance.

Logging your moorings and the overstay warnings are free, for as long as you want. The document above is £6.99 a month or £69 a year.
