The tide is high at five thiry pm so down to the mooring at 2.45 we go soon the binnie is ready and off we go
The plan is to go through Teddington meet with Paul and les at the Boaters in kingston head on up to thames ditton and back via the Boaters for a quick drink before heading back to Isleworth
Although this might not seem like a large distance geographically when you are travelling at slow speeds it takes time and we have to make sure that we are bac at the mooring before the tide is too low to get in
Through the drawlock at richond and
A nice boat moored there plenty of hire boats enjoying the day
we pass someone mooring midstream
Ham and the ferry
Then some raggies at Eel pie Island
A view of richmond hill
Through Teddington lock with miniskip at the helm all the way his skills are improving all the time as we progress people on the banks enjoying the day or fishing
or enjoying being on the water
some pleasure cruisers here the Henly
Then we arrive at thames ditton for a break swmbo and les here but dont think Les likes being photographed
Then back to the boaters for a quick drink before going back although uneventful we did encounter some old fossils on a pontoon waiting for a ferry ranting and shouting well do they go for a pleasant day out or do they go out for some river rage ?
