The annual shakedown cruise for those boaters who wish to run their boats down river on the tidal section to test engines and systems are all well after the winter layup. 6 boats turned out on what started as a sunny day but soon clouded over, although the weather remained warm.
A fair bit of debris seen in the water and the riverside had changed considerably since the winter floods.
None the less a good run out and a chance to warm up the engines.
