Medway Sailing Barge Race Photos

[Bassplayer]

A few pics from todays race. A great day despite the early start! Lots more pics if anyone wants some.

I hope you like my photos. Great to combine two of my favourite pastimes, my boat and my camera. Had a quiet lunch in Stangate Creek and back to the marina where the lockie bought me a beer for keeping me waiting so long outside the lock! Now there's service for you

I like the bottom one in particular.
And the 'Barking' name

Did anybody spot the cheat in the tug? Lol

Nah, he was steam powered - probably more work than the sailing barges...

We went into Sharfleet for a longish lunch and nipped up round the corner to see the seals.

Oh no, you weren't the ONLY forumite out boating... SWMBO & Rebellion were out ROBOing, and other forumites were being annoyed by the Regatta organisers at Marlow and Reading.......
