Basically a beating of the bounds by the fishermen of the Rochester Oyster and Floating Fishery, probably the most ancient organisation on the river that nobody has ever heard of .
The River Medway , which enjoyed a mention at Runnymede and ROFF, awarded a royal charter around 1500, has been looking after the interests of the river ever since.
The cruise of working fishing vessels and assorted more modern craft is up to the Hawkestone on Saturday and down to wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery on the Sunday.
Shame that the folks at Queenborough Harbour seem somewhat reluctant to host our traditional refreshment stop on the Sunday, especially as we will have the Mayor of Queenborough on the cruise. Concrete lighter being out of action, would have hoped they could have allowed us onto the ATL for a couple of hours for our lunch break.
If you are out and about over that weekend, you now know what the fleet of up to 70 boats dressed overall are up to.
Give us a toot.
