Just wanted to share this with you, I recorded it whilst going against the tide in my boat:

That's so cool! is there any speed limit? what's your speed in the video?
Can we come along with you once to the tidal part in my boat? We have a 20ft boat but have never tried boating there so would rather go with someone experienced for the first time!
Cheers,
Alex and Sophie

Hi Alex and Sophie!
The speed limit is 12knots between Wandsworth bridge -barrier. It is an advisory speed limit and you will see a lot of pleasure crafts (mainly high speed ribs) going above 30knots!
In this video I am actually going around 12knots (I know it looks much faster!).
Below Wandsworth bridge the speed limit is 8knots and be careful when passing rowing boats and other small crafts as even 8knots is sometimes enough to give them a big wash.
Of course you can come. why don't you actually join a club? I have been boating on thames since 2004 but I have recently joined a yacht club near Putney.
I send you the details in a PM.

I work in one of those buildings....(no not the one with the big clock)
Nice to see the view from a different angle.
