Cruise Notes: Boat lifted back into the water after annual service, test run to Maidstone and back to ensure all was working correctly  before setting off on the return tidal trip to Chatham. Departed from Allington Marina and passed through Allington Lock. On the tidal side of the river we were greeted with extensive rubbish and debris in the water which required careful manoeuvring, this cleared around Snodland. Boat ran well against the tide on the first half of the journey and very smooth once the tide changed. Bit of wind entering  Chatham Lock but no issues.
