Cruising the River Dee with the Dinghy Cruising Association

My Seahopper, Piglet 2, is all done up and ready to go so we take her for a spring trip up the RIver Dee with the Dinghy Cruisers Association. With a failry decent ebb tide flowing in our favour, we take a lovely and peaceful cruise along the river. Altogether its about a 6 mile trip from Farndon to Chester and it was a really pleasent way to spend a Sunday morning! 00:00 In at Holt Bridge 02:53 Getting underway from Farndon 03:35 A little row 04:29 Herding the sheep!! 04:56 Some nice houses and cows 06:13 Serious eddies and storm damage 09:19 Beautiful silence 11:13 Boat speedo time! 12:53 Dinner on the run 14:23 Back together again 15:46 Steaming home! 17:23 Checking our speed and range 18:28 Spring and the weather 20:13 Discussing the seahopper 21:45 Acton Iron Bridge 23:53 The Crook of Dee 26:58 Proper rowing boats! 26:21 Testing the epropulsion on the Seahopper 29:22 Sitting forward in the boat 30:26 Under the A55 31:22 A little bit of chop! 33:15 The home stretch 35:25 Getting out at Sandy Lane
