Yesterday news came through from the Goole Escape group that C&RT would be updating their notice regarding passage through Ocean Lock in Goole.
Mick’s inbox was checked frequently yesterday, nothing. But this morning as we were having our cuppa in bed the following appeared.
Update on 16/04/2021:
We have been advised by Associated British Ports they are to open up limited penning for leisure craft from Monday 19th April.
Bookings will be controlled by the Duty Assistant Dock Master at Ocean lock on Tele: 01405 721128 on a first come / served basis and with a 24 hr confirmation call required.
ABP will offer a penn out at 1hr before HW and a penn in at 1hr after HW on daylight tides only and this will be managed around commercial traffic.
PLEASE NOTE: penning outside of these offered times is not available and that at no times should vessels anchor in the Goole reaches nor any part of the Ouse from the area of Skelton Railway Bridge to the Apex.
We won’t be one of the first boats to leave Goole. But we have been looking at the tide times to see when might be a possible tide to get us round Trent Falls to at least Keadby. Then the next tides to carry on upstream to Torksey and Cromwell. There is a date in mind and research to be done regarding Trent Falls.
The list of jobs at the house has gradually been getting shorter. Builders have been giving the roof and chimney stacks some tlc over the last couple of days and Frank has fitted us a new bath panel. The bathroom just needs to be decorated now.
Appointments for all three of us are in the diary. Sadly no news of our second jabs yet.
The list of jobs on Oleanna remains long, but work will start on that list soon.
My panto model, which I’d been hoping to get finished by the end of the month, will have to sit on the back burner for a little while whilst things get sorted.
0 locks, 0 miles, 1 good update, 2 relieved boaters, 1 booking to be made, 2 many jobs to do, 1 press stud sorted, 1 chicken jointing lesson to be given (Frank), 1 quizzical cat, 1 garden catch up to fit in (Duncan), 2 busy but smiling boaters.
I am so glad to hear that you have a chance to escape – that must be a great relief. We are both well, but will not be heading off for a while. We are going to visit friends in late May and even more exciting – our son and his family are coming here over the May/June half term. It will be the first time we have seen them since March 2020, so a much higher priority than boating. Having said that we might pootle about locally now and then.
Great news Pip on the planned escape. The house has come on grand. Just booked my second jab so good luck with yours. Looking forward to more posts as and when.
Cheers
Ade
Thanks Ade. It’s looking like we’ll have to wait until our 11th week before we get offered our second jabs. We need to look into if we’ll be able to get them elsewhere other than Scarborough

2nd attempt WordPress doesn’t remember me anymore ☹️
Got your moment twice, so it must remember you
Ah but 1st one is anonymous 2nd I manually filled out the boxes! I hit the like button it knows who I am but on a reply I get like a horizontal barbers pole turning with a message connecting to WordPress but it never does! Very fustrating.
It even offers to “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment” but it doesn’t do that either perhaps it’s my browser Safari!
I remember you having problems in the past. I shall raise a ticket with the It department to see if he can help.
