Did glance out of the window and apart from the odd saily boat around Upnor not much going on.Have you had a run down to Gillingham Dock and had a look at the Medway Queen yet.
See you on Weds at RCC ?.
Club will be having a short run out on Jan !st for the really keen or for those with working Eberspachers :)

We went as far as sheerness docks, then i remembered the queen was in fact moored at Gillingham!
Was pretty cold, not the sort of cold you first notice until you are frozen to the core, luckily the eber works just fine, only in the lower cabin, so not much cop at the helm, pipes and vents ordered today.
Couldnt get very close to the queen as tide was quite some way out
Sorry wednesday i will be in bed asleep looking forward to another night shift

That is positively 'm25 esq'
Walked the dog cookham to marlow and back yesterday,not a sausage.
Bourne end railway bridge finished,green!(I think,was getting gloomy)
 
That might have been me! we had a fun 2 boat sail (always turns into a race) up to Stangate and back. Not really cold, and plenty of wind, and blue skies.

Don't know why everyone else takes their boat out! :-)

Were you the ones in the lead as they were flying?, also very unusual one that was out of the water like a sort of hydrofoil.
 
Sorry Chris what i know about yachts you can write on the head of a match! you may have seen us as we appeared to be the only motor boat coming back up river.
We saw the hydrofiol thing just before gillingham marina so you werent to far away from us
