Hung up!

Woohoo! A bit of excitement at lock 40. As I was winding the sluices open on the tail gates I heard this creaking and as I looked round there was poor Claire hanging on for dear life.
The stern rope had got caught in the gap between two blocks and the boat was rapidly heading for the bottom of the lock.
Panic.... Me, never!
Close the sluices, open the top land rack at Olympic speed and all is well again.
Lesson to be learnt... Always have a knife beside you when descending a lock!
