| Dad holding up the QEII Bridge! |
Phew! A very busy and exciting day yesterday - we
travelled 40 miles from the Medway River up to St. Katharine's Haven Marina,
immediately next to Tower Bridge.
It was a fantastic journey with so much to see and
we even managed to sail quite a bit of it…the Thames Barrier, the O2 Arena, the
Cutty Sark, the Royal Navy College at Greenwich, the Shard etc. I felt pretty
privileged to be a part of Dad's first sail up the Thames - it certainly
wasn't easy when we reached St. Katharine's Marina. The wake from speedboats
made trying to moor against the wall of the lock very difficult indeed… I'd be
lying if I said it wasn't slightly stressful!
Once we were in, we found our berth near the Royal
Barge and in spitting distance of Tower Bridge… yes, this is the life!
