Re:blimey,you must need oxygen on your fly.

C,mon what airdraft are you.If those Fairline Turbo 36 ,flybrige Princess 38.,manky old Brooms and that new steel stuff that Medway Bridge marina always take up you must be able to fit under.
Around 3.9 metres at HWMN and 3M at HWMS.
We try to go through Aylesford bridge about 1.5 hours or earlier if enough water to float boat.
This gives 5+ metres up above afore expensive crunching noises ruin your day.

Re Right the plan is this......

Full throttle thru the bridge will insure that the pesky birds will have to find elsewhere to perch and they will never bother you again.Hope this helps/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
Ps I will be following fairly closely behind as my radar scanner has been playing up a bit lately and it is suprising what you find floating down the river.

Re:Nearly forgot

Thanks for the info regarding the "Admirals Cruise". The 3rd of August is a Tuesday, do you mean the 3rd of July which is a Sunday?
