Easter2006 - A boat club trip down the Driffield Navigation, and up the River Ancholme to Brandy Wharf. We continued to the end of the navigation, which we have never managed to do before now even though we've tried - very hard! Bruce and Sheila on Sanity needed a second boat to do the tidal run out of Limehouse with, so I volunteered. A fun run around the London Ring, taking in the sights of the 2012 Olympics site.

My Lister SR3 in loads of little bits, with explanations of the bits you can see.
After the Thames cruise I thought it would be a good idea to get the SR3 serviced, this is how. With pictures, and log. 2004 Bonfire at Bethels Bridge Boat Club, Hempholme
