As the blog is running so far behind real time, at the moment I'll just post photos of the first day of the event.
 |
| Tugs & Ice Breakers |
 |
| Joshers mostly. |
 |
| Many of the Joshers are the resident South Midland fleet. |
 |
| There were lots of Joshers |
 |
| But plenty of Grand Union boats too! |
 |
| Sickle prepares to set off in the parade. |
 |
| Followed behind by Tycho. |
 |
| Emu |
 |
| Baltic |
 |
| Passing Tycho, after we had turned, and were travelling back. |
 |
| Nutfield steerer decides to ignore Atlantic already attempting to go through narrows. |
 |
| General view of parade - Kangaroo approaching. |
 |
| Dove |
 |
| Waiting to move forward past the marina site. |
 |
| Immaculate Tench, owned by Matt, former owner of Sickle. |
 |
| Tycho still sports an ice ram like the one Sickle once had. |
 |
| Dave ventures out with the Cheterfield Trust's Python - a shortened Josher. |
 |
| Having just turned Sickle a second time, Tycho does the same just behind. |
 |
| Cassiopeia. |
 |
| Sickle returns to the marina. |
 |
| Followed by Tycho - an interesting comparison! |
 |
| Aber and Chertsey - The Joshers weren't the only immaculately turned out boats! |
 |
| Archimedes can often be relied on to turn up well loaded - and it did. |
