Thames at Windsor in Flood

Thames at Windsor in Flood

Earlier this year, when our boat was at Windsor.

We're moored right next to the weir, behind the danger sign, nice. :shock:

Never seen so many ropes and chains on a boat. :mrgreen:

An idiot attempting to get under the bridge, we watched a couple of Cruisers try this.

Good pics! There are always some people out there willing to risk their lives and their boats.

but arn't they scarey, it's surprising how many people underestimate the power of

a river in full flood, and the damage that can be done

Yeah, I took a video of one of the cruisers trying to get under the bridge, it shows much better how the boat was really stuggling to get under.
