We were very lucky with weather. All the forecasts said it would rain on Monday - it didn't, In fact the weather was just right, not hot and not too cold.

Three of our boats hove into view, Bonita and Dougaljo (Waterwitches) and Fiddlers Green (Eventide). Unfortunately, Bonita and Dougaljo were rather far away, but, as you can see, FG was in the thick of it. Still waiting for film from 'proper' camera with long lens wielded but my wife Christine.

Closest I could get!

This is what she really looks like

Dougaljo was hiding, this is what she looks like.

'Dougaljo', 'Bonita' and 'Fiddlers Green' off up the Thames to St Katharine's Dock (I believe)

Just for fun!

Is Fiddlers Green contravening Collision Regulation Rule 9b 'Narrow Channels' (they are in a narrow channel)?

The clues are in the picture.
