Off to get some fuel this moening as RCC have their new "Commodores Sail Past" this weekend.

Is that it up there on Ye Thamess until July or what !
 
When is your sail past as like to watch?

I think we must be made of sterner stuff down here in the garden of england

We intend to be out and about all winter although I think it may cost me a shopping trip to keep swmbo warm

Well hate to brag of corse but "Noblees Obilge" etc to assorted lesser clubs etc.

Probably only 50 boat turn out this Sunday as opposed to our normal 80 plus boat turnout on the summer Admirals Cruise.

Leaving club on Sunday around 11 am heading up river to sort ourselves out into some sort of a line (this normally only takes about 2 hours:) ) before coming back down past pontoons in some sort of a line followed by ungentlemanly scramble into club to be first in for carvery and afters.
 
This weekend?

Thames locks still open, and it looks like another fine weekend (amzingly for end October) - anyone planning to be out on the river?...

As per normal we will find somebody who looks as though they might know what is going on

Missed my boat on the Thames this weekend :-(

In Sweden and all the boats here are being taken out of the water and wrapped up before the water starts to freeze. Apparently they don't like -20C!

Currently looking out of the window at Stockholm's archipelago, beautiful red trees, sunshine and 4C, no snow yet!
