I see Straight Across from your profile. I think my wife commented on how nice she looked. I was probably too busy trying to remember my colregs so i didn't hit you...
I also saw a very nice looking wooden boat - Star of ??........ anchored off Medmenham Abbey. One way of trying to avoid the no mooring rule there.
Here we are on the mooring at 'Lower Shiplake/Upper Wargrave'

The Star of... is a Rampart, and was tonight moored at Henley on Rod Eyot (we were out canoeing with the Eyot Club). It was owned some years ago by the owner of the Abbey, but sold, fabulously restored, renamed (Star of Kilenny?) and comes up for the Regatta every year.
Lots of intersting boats on the reach tonight, including Janthea (my wifes favourite Dunkirker), St Joan, a large Brooke Marine, and Lazy Days, another Dunkirker, was up and down the reach as well over the weekend.
If you get a chance to see inside Lazy Days look for the painting of the nude! IanC
