RE: The River Thames at Day into Night

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

It all looks so idyllic! I'd also be nervous about sailing on the Thames, is there no speed limit there and is it still tidal at Reading?

This is the post your adoring public want to see, so thank-you :-)

Best wishes to you both, I hope you're keeping warm. Would love to see the canals with snow!

No, thank you! 😊

We both were... but you need to be because it is completely different from the canals.
There was a section when we first got onto the rivers where I got off to operate a lock. The current was so strong that Cam could not stop the boat. I had to walk a few miles... It was a bit of a panic moment, but I didn't mind the walk and was happy I wasn't on the boat in case there was a real emergency.

Is it still tidal at Reading?

I've read that some sections are, and from what I remember, I'd say yes.

I'm warm and snug, but the canals are frozen now. Luckily it's at a pretty spot that I will probably explore tomorrow. It was funny watching a moorhen sliding on the ice today. I hope to get some pictures tomorrow with my camera... I tried to get some mobile shots but they weren't clear:)
