In a centuries old tradition, the Admiral of the River (the Mayor of
Medway) "beats the bounds" of the Rochester fishery from the Hawkwood
Stone, near Snodland, to Sheerness. The event is run on behalf of the
Mayor by Rochester Cruising Club with Rochester Oyster and Floating
Fishery but all clubs and marinas on the River Medway are invited to
take part. Boats from other clubs can join the convoy up the river on
Saturday and down to Sheerness on Sunday. A skippers' briefing will take
place on Friday 5th July at RCC for those interested.
As the convoy passes each club or marina, the Admiral's barge will fire
a gun salute or sound a bugle and dip her ensign. We hope to get a
response in kind. RCC will issue invitations to relevant organisations.
Other organisations that participate in and support the cruise include
Peel Ports, Svitzer tugs, RNLI, Kent Police, Maritime Volunteer Service
and Medway Town Sea Cadets.
