Just checking Diva one Saturday morning, using the club's webcam, as you do, when I noticed there was no sign of the mooring buoy. Sometimes the buoy does disappear behind one of the amas but there was no mooring line to be seen either - thought I had better have a look. Got out to Diva - pulled up the mooring strop and nothing on the end - just a frayed tail. Luckily, I had been experimenting with a bridle of 10mm polyprop to cut down the amount of sheering about Diva was doing - thank gawd for 10mm blue polyprop. Diva was hanging on a couple of 10mm polyprop 'strings'... Time to put her away. So as a temporary fix put Diva on the club's visitors mooring 
Next year, she will be moored with chain throughout. But Diva is now happy in the Exeter Canal.
