So on behalf of forumites cast off my C19 shackles and bravely set of on a voyage of discovery.
Must have been at least an F1.
Avoided the notorious wreck below the bridge using amazing skippering skills.

Undaunted we pressed on knowing just how much was at steak

Somebody has dumped a yellow bouy in the middle of the river..careless or what !

You can all thank me later.
What did we learn.
One engine had slightly raised temp.
One engine was slighty down on temp.
The fuel tanks were not as full as I thought they were.
At WOT. 4 knots off the pace.
Probably going on the blocks for jet wash.
Nothing broke or fell off.
14 fenders purchased especially for the propsed Thames trip performed perfectly.
I counted them all out and counted them all back again.
Might do it again tomorrow just the make sure.
