On May 2nd 2005 some 12 EYC Members made the trip up to Maylandsea for a day out in Thames Sailing Barge Repertor. The party arrived on Monday evening and fed, drank and sang well before spending the night on board. On Tuesday good winds gave us reach down the Blackwater eventually bringing up of Colne Point for lunch then a beat back up the river for supper on board Some additional photographs of the trip are below (Click image for a larger view)
