No sailing again today

The weather has still not abated, we were all up at 6:00 this morning ready to head upriver to pick up at Tower Pier.  Given the strong winds at the moment we would have been able to carry out the first part of the cruise downriver but with the forecast it would not have been possible to carry out the rest of the day down to Southend and the River Medway. We would probably only have been able to take the people to Tilbury and then bus them back, about 2 and a half hours, so Ian, the Captain, has decided to cancel all of the day's sailings.  This is the third day of cancelled sailings and everyone feels really bad about it, but it is hard to see what else we can do.
