This story will be continued. The Captain steering Lancer under the low bridge. That's it - we are stopping until the water goes down. Next morning headed down river for a second attempt. River more calm but still in serious flood.
Back rope goes into screw and stops engine on critical weir stop.
Finally Monday evening made it into the safety of the Bristol Floating Harbour with absolutely frayed nerves. I am staying on my mooring spot for a while now. That weekend trip was a bit more that I would like to have bargained for. Whitewater etc is fun when in a little kayak of raft, but when it is your houseboat with all your belongings plus your office then the consequences of tipping over is just a bit to extreme. Crew mood at night.
