Another year to video Thames Barges, but no early start as the tide makes things more reasonable wake up call at 9am on a Saturday morning. The temperature was souring and only a slight wind to help propel craft through the water. The starts were delayed, but this only allowed more time for spectators to arrive. Here are some aerial clips at the starting point opposite Batemans Tower, Brightlingsea, Essex. Please watch our 2022 and 2021videos. 2021 on this site was best due to the wind, a lot more wind for propulsion
