Further to my last, she's now booked to come up through Tower Bridge at 10.45 am on Monday 8th October and booked through down at 11.15 am on the same day. I'll have my camera ready and hope that there's a marked improvement in the weather  :-)

I'll trust in you to capture the moment Phil. So she's not about for too long in London. I don't think we need stale lager anyway 8-)

I think she's going to be berthed somewhere in Canary Wharf afterwards John. So maybe it will be a bit stale after all  :-)

Morning

Probabably won't be any ale left on board, a number of the reports I've seen by crewmembers is with a beer in hand so may now be all drunk. Better be careful down there Phil as you will prob be joining the "few" homesick Kiwi's who couldn't get tickets to the World Cup match at Cardiff. Look forward to any photoes.

Cheers

Brent

Hi Ken,

I have several shots taken from my office rooftop terrace overlooking the Thames upper pool. I will upload them when I am at home later (site permitting  :-o ).

The added bonus was that she was assisted by the tug CHRISTINE which I have not come accross before

 :-D

Cheers,
Phil
