The water flowing into the Severn from the Stour can cause difficult currents for passing craft, to the extent that the barrier towards the right of the photograph has been erected to force the flow into line with the main downstream current of the Severn. Picture taken from grid reference SO81268 70797.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Probably the most entertaining of all the boats in the parade. The crew sang heartily along to a recording of "Rule Britannia"! Notice also the people at the front of the boat, blowing bubbles! [[2078849]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>The parade had started, and this boat was making its way upriver. Possibly the owner has a connection with Wiltshire, as "moonraker" is an old term for a person from that county. [[2078849]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>I don't think "River King" was part of the carnival parade, but it just got caught up with the other boats, as it did its normal trip along the river. When it's not at work, it is moored here:- [[1479002]]. [[2078849]].
