Low bridge, big boat...

The usual restriction to a flybridge motor cruiser entering the non-tidal Medway are Maidstone town bridges.

Unless you know your boat and the river levels extremely well...

Aboard with OldGit on his trans-ocean 37, headed downstream when the water levels had dropped a few inches to give "plenty" of clearance:

And upstream, where it was a little bit tighter:

Happily, I was unable to give this a try due to picking something up around a prop in the town centre. Probably a vauxhalll corsa by the sound it made.

You forgot the terrapin !

No pictures of said terrapin, sadly, he was just out of range for a camera phone.
He does get an honorable mention in my thread in the mobo section though!
