RCC Easter invasion of Burnham

[oldgit]

30 boats on list for trip.......
10 actually departed.......
3 left moorings at 04.00.
1 brave little soldier forced to remain in his bunk due to a case of what may have been dismissed by some as minor man flu .
Pretty sure heard them leave before snuggling back down under the duvet

You will also go on ze Big Jessie list alongside Murv......
Ya Big Jessie

They are on their way back now, returning a day early, some excuse about snow tomorrow or some other weedy excuse !

No real problems , one boat down to a single engine early in the adventure and one with a bit of a prop fouling incident.
Reports that is was a bit chilly and wet but everyone enjoyed the weekend.
IMHO, we seriously need to think if Burnham should be the first of our club cruisers that early in the season and mebbe go later in the year ?
Not the best location if the weather is rubbish, both for local attractions or that long beat up the east coast.

'Twas a good weekend, if not a tad damp and cold, but you know my feelings on running Burnham this early in the Year!
And no big-jessieing going on here! Except that we did sit downstairs with the heaters on for both legs of the journey...

Couple of snaps, and the diesel is still where it's supposed to be :encouragement:

They probably look better on a phone to be honest, they're a bit grainy when blown up, but it was virtually pitch black!

I suspect it's because I'm sharing them from google photo's which, I guess, doesn't work on apple.

They don't show up on my pc either (Firefox on Windows 7)

That's annoying, I'll look into something else for next time.

27.12.2008? Easter? Think you need to correct the date on your camera OG

Looks like Sharfleet Creek to me?

Just out of curiosity, why is a thread about a Medway based club's trip to the River Crouch on the Thames forum. I'm thinking the MOBO or east coast fora would be more suitable. Anyway, why cant I see the pics?

[h=2]The Thames Forum
A place to discuss boating issues specific to the Thames and other inland waterways[/h]
As RCC tends to find most of its members firmly attached to their moorings on the Medway most of the time any boat venturing beyond Sheerness tends to be of interest.
