Problems with the outer lock gates at St Kats meant limited opening hours so we had to move down to Chelsea Pier at about 2100 last night. Just about to leave now as lock gates only open 1 hour before HW and about 20 minutes past

Nice run down, down side is that a drive belt shred itself so limped in on the port engine with no power steering. Just trying to find an engineer now who can come out to fit a new belt...

Hope you are having fun. Have just been around your patch looking at brumbrums at HR Owen... but not of the green type, more red-ish (and cheaper)

Anyone else heading into london tomorrow ? Was thinking about it myself .

Looks like high water is 207pm at Richmond so go down with that and hit it comming back up around 1130 am the next day ? Or at least be ready to go by then

Rob came around and Oudrageous all sorted and ready to go, yay! Had a nice day at the Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the Thames Clipper service is just fantastic. Weather pretty pants but nice and warm and cosy onboard which is the main thing, will see what the forecast is for tomorrow if we end up walking down to the Eye. Cuchilo, feel free to come around mate if you do venture this way, Two Rebels has a wicked karaoke set up on board!

I can just see you in a Conti GT though, will give my M5 a good run for the money
