Friend is looking to move to the Thames as a change, possibly permanent, from the Gt Ouse in Cambs.

His boat is a Sealine Ambassador 290 with twin petrols and I know the arch is not hinged...is he

so he may have head room problems to consider...

He is considering a mooring somewhere around Staines as he believes this will give him lots of cruising grounds up and down the river.
he enjoys good food and wine and has a small scottie dog which would need to be included in any arrangements.

what guidance can the team give on his plan....
moorings fees
availablity of permanent moorings
suitable establishments for refreshments....I am on board occasionally

....
crusing grounds (ok....buy the book/guide.....yes when has decided to go he will)
Fuel....petrol....?

Thanks in advance....knowing the forum comes up with the right info...
