I am out that night so will look out for you guys , we usually start at the back of the anchorage towards eygpt point and then head towards the fireworks at tickover , that way when its all finished we aviod the mad scramble back to the river or mainland, be aware of the wash created by everyone trying to leave at the same time as it gets a bit sloppy, see you on the water

We'd like to do this, but it depends on Richard's work - very long hours at the mo.  
If we're out, you can certainly get a ride with us, but will need to confirm nearer the time. Do feel free to accept other offers in the meantime!!
