Cruise Notes: It's that time of year again to take Kevayling upriver to Allington Marina for her annual service. Departed from Chatham into a wind against tide water which settled after Cuxton. Heavy debris further upriver which was treated with caution and slow speed, ably spotted by our additional crew for the day. Arrived at Allington safely and moored up awaiting lift out on Monday.

Briefing our new crew before departure.

Time out for a selfie.

Looks like the crew enjoyed the trip.

Cruise Notes: Rochester C.C Sailpast. Departed Chatham in windy conditions and headed upriver to Rochester. On arrival we moored on the public moorings to await the departure of Rochester C.C boats from their moorings. While waiting we had time for a cup of tea and to dress the boat overall. All Rochester boats formed up in line stern and headed upriver to Cuxton where we turned, headed back downriver and lowered our ensign to the Commodore as we pasted the club moorings. The flottia continued to Sun Pier where we turned again heading back to Rochester where we moored for Sunday dinner. Having enjoyed dinner we departed for the run back to Chatham Marina. Windy approach making a difficult lock entry.

 Forming up the flotilla for the sail past.
