 The Route |
 The day started with moving the boat from Limehouse .. |
 ... to Bow |
 ... where we the last locking out |
 We were in company with our old friends Frank & Sue May on Lotus - seen here in Bow Creek |
 Passing moored up Tugs on the Thames Tideway |
 Cormorants! |
 Lotus passes through the Thames Barrier |
 Looking back at the barrier |
 Our Steerer |
 Approaching the Woolwich Ferry |
 Safely passed the Ferries |
 The flats are on the site of the Harland & Wolf Woolwich shipyard where Fulbourne was built |
 Entering the King George V lock |
 Not our normal lock company! |
 The lock gates shut |
 After quite a wait the road bridge above the lock to be raised |
 Passing under the raised bridge |
 They didn't wait for all the narrowboats to leave before lowering the bridge! |
 Turning towards the Royal Albert Dock |
 The plastic boats all sped off! |
 Formation boating past London City Airport |
 A lone boater |
 Passing the airport terminal |
 We get our revenge on the plasic boats ... |
 ... who had to wait for the two swingbridges allowing access into the Royal Victoria Dock to be moved |
 Passing the low level swingbridge |
 The road bridge is eventually swung. |
 Looking back into the Royal Albert Dock |
 There is still some dereliction left in Dockland! |
 Passing more recent development |
 HMS St Albans |
 Passing under the 'Transporter' bridge |
 Moored up - time to find a not too expensive Docklands pub. |
