Weybridge to Teddington

Left Weybridge at around  0900hrs (got to start getting nautical again as we are back on the Thames don't y' know) got through the Thames Lock and headed east towards London. Even though we stopped for fuel on the way we made good time and arrived at Teddington lock at 1330 hrs (1.30pm for the landlubbers) As the tides were not in our favour for the tidal transit to Brentford we will moor overnight at Teddington with an 0545hrs start tomorrow for the 1-2 hr transit. Christine is not amused with the early call, it's a good job she didn't come on the Channel Island sailing trip with 0330hr shouts!!

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd had this houseboat restored and is now used as The Astoria Recording Studios and it is now moored just upstream fro Hampton Court Palace

Hampton Court Palace (we moored here the last time we were on the
Thames and spent the whole day looking around this wonderful palace)





For those that are old enough "Tugboat Annie " comes to mind
