We will muster in the mouth of the river and then motor upstream to Newcastle Quay Marina who have kindly given us free mooring for the night
There is a prize given by NQM for the best dressed boats, so lots of flags and bunting.
The bridge lift is scheduled for 15.00hrs.and there will be line handlers ashore.
