It's a lot slower just above PH now, reds or no reds. still a fairly strong stream, but quite a few boats going up and down.
Just had to move the boat to the back of the island as we're having the tree she's moored under pollarded next week, so decided to have a little run. The stream is very strong. I followed an NB up to BW. The lock keeper was very patiently waiting for him, but I think he could have cycled the lock by the time the NB was going to get there.
Turning around and running through Staines was quite entertaining. Decided not to do a run through PH, though the stream was a lot slower there (I turned around before where the weir pulls you).
Heading back up river got quite hard work. The old girl hasn't been run on high revs for a long time and she smoked a bit (petrol decoke?).
No rowers about. Just a few speeding ducks.
