Sonflower lies in Cambrian Wharf. 
Cambrian Wharf looks like a long term mooring. There are ten berths on finger moorings, surrounded by a fence that has a gate on which dangles a padlock, "operated" by a BW key. Except it isn't. The lock is rusted in the locked closed position and the mooring site apparently is a visitor mooring with four residential moorings. So the vacant finger mooring that we moored on thinking we had permission to use under condition 4.10 of the Revised Standard
Mooring Agreement Terms and Conditions- April 2021 which states "4.10 When
cruising away from the Mooring Site you may temporarily use
any vacant mooring spaces available at
any other mooring site managed by us with our prior written consent. You must remove your Boat from any such temporary mooring it occupies when we
ask you to do so." is not a vacant mooring.
I had written to CRT local customer support officer giving my understanding of the situation but received a "keep moving" email: a gentle reminder that the boat had been in one area for more than 14 days. I had a very nice conversation with Customer Support giving my understanding and explaining that I had personal problems at home that required me to curtail our cruise and leave the boat for a period of time. I was very pleased to get confirmation that an "overstay" would be approved.
