Thames Tear Up

[Cookee]

I'm likely to still be in New Zealand or Australia, but if I'm back and it doesn't clash I think it would be a great laugh!

I can safely report that RNLI dinners can be fatal to ones health if one makes a glutton of one's self with the red wine. I can further report that continuing festivities in the casino is hazardous to ones wealth. Oh that's not what you meant

Dates

Sat 8th March 14.32 high tide

Sat 22nd March 14.30 high tide

Sat 5th April 13.22 high tide

Sat 19th April 13.21 high tide

All in UT GMT TTFN ROFL so could be an hour later or earlier however that works

Ok I think I've got it, all the above tides are half past 2 in real money given bst on 30th March.

These give a run down with the outgoing tide. The alternative dates in between would all be around 7 in the morning so leave us banging against the tide at just the wrong time

So best lock out of St Cats is 12.30 which might blow that out. Limehouse is easier on tide times but what an area

So what's everyones thoughts?


Couple of pics of Chatham. Event pontoon is immediately behind the lock in last pic and barbie area is beside lock in the second pic.

Ha the best you can manage. If you want to take the piss properly you need to read up on the uim president type threads.

Anyways, all the info above, what date shall we go for?

Now that sounds like an idea, specially as we will be passing all hallows. I guess we'd have to keep the skiers out until through the barrier as I can't see the authorities agreeing to that.

In fact we'll probably have to keep the speeds reasonable down to here anyways. So might be best to cruise to Woolwich barrier and drop the flag at that point?

Easter weekend seems good to me, after all its the second coming of Christ and JF can make it so there is hope for the rest of us!
Also may be able to get T.V. coverage over that weekend, got a few contacts at Thames T.V and London News.

Just imagin it loads of good looking boats and a shabby revenger going down the Thames - Otters being drown along with rowers and never forgetting the "Bank Vole" global warming increasing (No need to buy the Villa in Playa Bianca) and you never know possibly Clarkson in a splashed Phantom.....

I guess Easter weekend would be good but has anyone got a race calendar, don't want to leave a section out if we can help it.

Right I'll get onto Chatham and Chiswick and see whether I can book the space.

Someone needs to think about launch / recovery sites.

How many would want to stop overnight at St Cats? Seems a good way to drop in and dump the trailer down to where you'll be coming out.

Anybody else up for giving a hand. Say a couple of people medway and blackwater way that could get a few of them interested.

I'll deal with Sarfend / Crouch and Pash1 thinks he knows everyone on the south coast.

Ok taking aside myself and Pash1s witty banter that's probably got you all in stitches, Are we good to go for Easter Weekend?

We need your input guys as without you it's not gonna be much fun for me having Pash1 as an only mate for the weekend
