Yesterday the tide and the weather was good so Miniskip and I went out for tea
...........................................
on the Boat we had some spicy roast pork left from the day before so armed with sandwiches and libations off we went
we pottered up towards richmond
The sky is Blue with vapour trails as we pass Richmnd bridge
before the bridge we pass the new river patrol PLA Boats
I cant say I like them but they dont make much wash btw the outboards are 35 hp DIESELS !!
we also passed this rather fine vessel
Something to do with swan upping ?? maybe
The white cross is busy with punters enjoying a pint in the warm evening sun
Just above Richmond bridge there are some rather lonely and neglected boats
If you look closely the kitchen roll in the window looks new so? perhaps someone lives there with the Pidgeons ?? !!
Next to it is another sad looking vessel
It is something I would be proud to own but she sits there year in and year out why own something as nice as this and never use it ?criminal
going through Richmond bridge a bunch of kayakers descend
Apart from their lack of colreg knowledge they seem to be a good bunch which is not what can be said of the robo lot ( rant rant )
Coming up to eel pie island the Raggies are out
Not a bad bunch this lot either they did take care not to tack towards us
miniskip is at the helm ( when do I get a chance to take the helm ? )
we slow to avoid any accidents as we approach the raggies
After which we go through the island to starboard passing the bridge
we pass robo hq known locally as stalag luft robogeheimstatz
Yep the Twickenham lot undeniably the rudest robos in the known universe
a rather nice wotsit
or two
Anyway thats it for now you will have to curb your suspense for the next part of this exiting tale untill later /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
