Shhhhh, otherwise they will all come inland and push the price of our moorings up....

£2500 to moor a 24' boat isn't cheap

After one trip out the wife/girlfriend/significant other /forumite mate will never ever get on your boat again ?

Not a rower, narrowboat or WakeNazi in sight....
Lakes can be good
But i guess it has some benefits

Good point, I forgot it was oGaryo.....
Still I reckon there are more pubs and eating places around the Solent than the Thames (Although I guess the Spinnaker Arms has suffered with oGaryos departure.)

Think you might be wrong on that one, the Thames does run through London and that has a few
The Sea is very exciting no speed limits and the thrill of the journey and satistaction of arriving at a new port is immense, but it needs so much more planning and organising (or it should) not too mention the fuel costs now are obscene. The river is so chilled, just cast off and go don't worry about lifting fenders, stowing lines and gear making ready for sea and a passage plan etc... just crack open a beer and enjoy the view. Yes the speed limit is a frustraion but actualy going slow with no hurry to get anywhere is the main appeal. Would reccomend it to anyone, i haven't taken anybody out who hasn't loved it.

Brilliant. Looks like Henley in the last one. Great video shooting in the last one too.
What's the music on that one?

Sail Boat in Thames
It is OK the navigation in Thames with a sail boat of 44ft or we could have problems with depth.
Thanks

.
But the Thames through London is tidal which is the point of the debate I thought (and just try mooring up along the Thames in London!)

True but then theres Teddington, Kingston, Hampton, Chertsey, Staines, Windsor, Bray, Maidenhead, Cookham, Bourne End, Marlow, Hurley, Henley and on and on. I thought the Solent had the Folly and that was it
sorry I know thats not true but for shear variety and ease of access the Thames is unbeatable.marcandsebe

What's the name of the pubs and can you moor up outside and stay for a few hours?

I thought this thread was about boating - not boozing !
Its an OGaryo thread, boozing=boating (sorry Gary but you did publish the dancing on the tables photos!)
