Windsor Cruise 18th-21st August 2023

AMYC Windsor Cruise  18th – 21st August 2023

​Four boats made the trip to Windsor.  Enterprise, Ginista, Laird Tommy and Beatrice Rose. 
Chris and Lin aboard Enterprise had arrived early (as usual!) and greeted us onto a bank mooring on Baths Island.  The weather was balmy, and we enjoyed a casual afternoon of gossip and drinking.

​John had booked us on a tour of the Windsor and Eton Brewery on the Saturday morning, and this turned out to be most entertaining and enjoyable, even for those whose first love is not beer!  “Wildman Willy” gave us the escorted tour, which was interspersed with generous samples of their various brews.  We followed the tour with a delicious lunch in their bar / taproom before adjourning back to the boats for an alcohol induced nap!  

​ 
​ On Sunday morning we were graced with the presence of King Charles and Queen Camilla (aka Chris and Lin) whose somewhat creepy picture can be seen alongside!  We had taken the opportunity of booking a table the previous day to watch the ladies World Cup Final in the Windsor Brewery bar. Sadly, England Ladies could not quite clinch the perfect result, losing 1-0 to Spain, but the atmosphere in the bar was terrific.  Two crews (Chris and Lin and Tony and Sharon) then enjoyed a full Sunday Roast at Browns Restaurant in Windsor.

​Many thanks to John for organising the Brewery trip, and to all who attended for their excellent company.
