Race Start – Dad and Mum
We were joined by another of Anita’s friends and then by Peter and Lynsey, Anita’s brother and sister-in-law. A real family occasion. The boats passed through the lock, four by four. Eventually all 12 boats were in the Thames and Tower Bridge opened to allow some of them to pass upstream. That was when we went to find the spectator boat that Anita had pre-booked as soon as Race Start was confirmed.
You’ve guessed it – we ended up back in the Dickens Inn with those Clipper Crew not on Leg 1. There were very mixed feelings:
- St Katharine Docks looked empty;
- their friends were already on the Race;
- all had to go home and back to work;
- BUT it had all started!
The day ended in an Indian restaurant with some of Anita’s Clipper friends. Then it was Shanks’s pony, tube, train and taxi back to Anita’s place for some much needed sleep before returning home on Monday morning. A fantastic weekend!

It all looks very exciting and a great day out.
Thanks, It was a good day. You’ll get my take, rather than Mum’s, tomorrow!
