Sadly Lazy Days won't be there will be getting her afloat on the 4th of June and then cruise the Dutch canals.
A few of us will pop along on the Saturday to give you all a hand getting lines ashore and again on the Sunday to give some muscle to the service, so make sure you have plenty of lubrication on board.
Have a great trip down the Thames, take lots of photos of the fleet so you can post them on here.

Some help would be appreciated as I will be single-handing from Tedders to West India.
Teddington: Not sure. I should expect whatever the right time is for the tides to be there for the early afternoon. Prob the first tide.
I have to take my daughter to a Girls Aloud concert that night so can't be too late!

No problem, whats your ETA.
But remember it's very bad luck not to have the beers opened and dished out within 10 seconds of being tied up. If your rafted out that can mean a lots of beers. As your short handed better start getting the beers out when you pass Limehouse.
Raymond always insisted on a bottle of red being to hand when he came aboard LD.

ETA implies we have a plan!! Not sure, will let you know.
Understood on the wine - If you don't have beer/wine available, what is the point anyway?

It is of course the weekend before as LazyDays' post points out. 23-25 May.
Which doesn't get me out of the concert but a business trip means I have to go from Bray to West India in one day. Allowing for an early start - is this feasible?
I assume I could get to Teddington at about 1200 ahead of the high tide and punch it for an hour or so. With a boat that does 7-8 knots, how long do you think to West India? I need to make a 1600 lock in.

Just to keep my arm in with my laptop SeaPro program I punched in Teddington to the lock opposite the Dome as it's the only lock I can see on the program, I hope it's the one your using.
Once through Tedders lock at 12.00hrs Seapro gives an arrival time of 15.03 at 7kts. for 21.52nm. I can't get the graph to show best time to leave to gain most push so I'm hoping the program calculated the tide push into the above time, if it did'nt then you have the push to subtract from the the 3hrs.
