Nuala's Guest Blog

What a fantastic summer weekend it has been for my first visit to St Katherine's Dock.  I've watched with keen interest the length of time it takes for boats to come in and exit via the lock and have a theory that this is all part and parcel of ensuring that marine time (governed by tides and weather - "it takes as long as it takes") is maintained in this location within telephoto lens distance of Shard and Gherkins. 

So, what can a visiting land-lubber do but enter into the swing of Marina life.  We have had fantasic meals on board, great chat and banter, and I've delighted in the visual feast of Southbank architecture and happy tourists swapping cameras to accomplish group photos.  I have been delighted to chuckle with Nadine and meet the georgous Molly.

To complete my nautical understanding the ship's bike was deployed for a trip to Greenwich.   Unfortunately Sustran's Route 4 was difficult to find, so more yatch like transit on the Shard proved helpful on return.  I submit evidence here that I did make it to Cutty Sark - rather than consuming WiFi in a local cafe.

As ever being with T&G as part of Middlewatch's adventures has been fab-u-lous and del-ic-ious.  Where next?
