First proper trip in boat went up the Medway to Yalding over weekend.
Just made it under Aylesford bridge before tide got too high as left sheerness a bit late.Actually did not quite make it as forgot to take down Lokata aerial.Grind crunch Snap.All watched with glee by people in pub opposite.
Spent first night in Maidstone town center decent mooring (£ 1.00) if a bit noisy in the roads nearby)
Feed wife with expensive chinese takeaway.
Next to go was a stantion which lost in an argument with East Farliegh lock gate.
Next night at Yalding after getting under bridge with 3/4 inches to spare.Free mooring.
Feed wife at Pub in village called Walnut Tree which is around 30 mins away.
Return journey to Sheerness via Malta inn for more grub and also gouged chunk out of nav light at same lock which did for my stantion
So all I need is one new aerial ahem two new stainless thingys and a bit of paint on the mooring light.
Also know how auto steering wotsits works.
Now I was always under the illusion that you lot stood manfully at the steering wheel for hours and hours on end during your epic journys to jersey or wherewhatever.........
And the weather for the weekend is...............
