Some scary videos of what happens when you tie up a widebeam on a river in spate with a single small pin in a soft bank. And have string for mooring rope!? I know this will delight those that hate everything widebeam and London but posting it anyway... https://m.facebook.com/groups/73933281285?view=permalink&id=10157180603116286&sfnsn=scwspmo

We're near Rickmansworth at the moment, on our way to Brentford. We're looking to pick up a PLA Thames certificate for a month, cruising towards Oxford, eventually getting onto the Oxford Canal. The Thames is new to us, though we have done the Calder & Hebble, and the Aire & Calder last summer - we're hoping there's not much difference, except maybe bigger locks and challenges. Am I right in saying the part of the Thames we'll be cruising is not tidal, therefore we don't need to dig out our anchor? What's the chances of the Thames being in flood during April / May? Does anyone have advice how mooring access and facilities work? Do we need different keys, or other implements? (We got caught out with the 'spike' needed on the Aire and Calder). What about red/green navigation lights, are they obligatory? Any advice would really be appreciated.

Anyone cruising Teddington to Brentford tomorrow, doing it for the first time, could do with moral support!
