I really like the suggestion that an Atalanta up the Thames would be a good idea.  Could we plan a flotilla to get Tower Bridge open.  I realise that is a big ask as masts would have to come down before London Bridge?

What a challenge and some PR if we could pull it off.

Totally agree – though, what about ‘down’ the Thames vice up? Happy to host at mine and launch over the road at Benson. (or even enter at Oxford). Would make the route easier with the flow? I think that at a low tide, the Atalanta could get under Tower Bridge. Need to check a map. But would love to be in fine fettle with mast up (and perhaps “a bit of sail ‘for balance’ Harbourmaster”) as we went through.
