While they loaded the boat, Tom and I drove off with the jerry can in search diesel. We knew where the BP station was (half a mile) but due to the Olympic traffic controls, just could not turn right anywhere. We ended up on the other side of the river before finally getting fuel, 30 minutes later!
We locked out of St Katharine Docks at 15:00, waved a tearful goodbye to Tom and headed down river.
Sunday on the Thames - it was chaos!
However once past Greenwich it calmed down and we had a great journey down river, hitting 10 knots at times. That is a record for this boat!
Beautiful sunset and a lovely end to the day.
Ramsgate next.
