27th July 2011 - The boats start to gather!

Fully briefed and all kitted up from yesterdays meeting, I assume the duties of Harbourmaster for S18 through S47, feels like a miles worth when you walk it, but I think it's about half a mile and 50 or so boats.

Some shots of the boats gathering for the rally:

And looking towards these from me on S18:

Not so good eh? That and the Marstons trucks that seem to work 24 hours about 20 yards from me! I became aware of this at 0100!! Up early to walk the section, then off to the rally site to book in and sort out a couple of boats who are where they shouldn't be, along with some other mooring issues, then to spend all morning playing boats as more and more show up for opening on Friday.

I hand over to Brian at lunchtime and take things easy for the afternoon. I'm off to Birmingham later for a curry and maybe a drink with Chris. Just have to remember to catch the last train home.
