Why do this sort of thing on a weekend. Do it on Monday and there will be barely any activity on the river. If the sun comes out tomorrow, the Romford navy will be out in force and I am sure many of them will not be monitoring the VHF. Could keep the CHA RIB very busy!

Possibly because some of the volunteer folks whose input is valued, on exercises such as this,probably work during the week doing other jobs ?

Sounds like fun. Perhaps we could send our youth dinghy fleet to race there and add a bit of realism.

They don't want to make it too realistic, then!
