Unfortunately I cannot get to see the flotilla but I'd like to see at least some of the fleet moored up this evening.
Where is everybody moored, I was thinking of visiting Teddington lock but I read they have all moved this morning, where to?
 
They are leaving Teddington in about 15 mins , they will pass under Richmond Bridge about 1/2 hour after that.

Overnighting on the buoys at Barn Elms tonight.
 
A few (naff) pictures off my phone. Apologies for the quality (or lack of :D )

I was on the other side of the river . Quite a thing seeing them all wasnt it .
There was a bit of a tear up towards the end when the passenger boat decided he couldnt wait any longer and headed for the centre arch .

It certainly was a great sight. Never tire of seeing the Little Ships.

Tear up :D . I thought the Richmond Royale was going to have that rowing skiff for sure. He wasn't going to take any prisoners.

Looks like the Cockney Sparrow to me,great pictures ,enjoyed them alot
 
I didn't take a picture of the dust-up between the pleasure boat Richmond Royale and the rowing skiff (big one with 16 or more people in it).

Perhaps I should have ;)
 
To be fair the Cockney Sparrow did sound his horn to let them know he didnt know thier intentions and from the pictures looks like he had to go into shallow water to let the rowing skiff ( if thats what he was avoiding ?) pass through the middle arch .
On the other hand he must have known this lot where comming down from Teddington and had he given them five minutes he would have had the river all to himself .
