Is it too early to start talking about doing a yarra or maribinong cruise? Alan mentioned a nice hotel past the Anglers hotel that has good mooring for heaps of boats, could be a leisurely run up the river and lunch (drinks). Would be great to do before the weather turns.

Would love to be there! Yarra would be my preference as I missed the last one. Would wigs be required?

I am unsure of any hotel on the Mmaribynong up stream of the Anglers Rest and I dont think that there is any suitable beach in that area. Most of the riverbank is lined with rocks.

The "Hotel" is actualy called "The Boat House" (http://www.theboat-house.com.au/) and would require some organisation but is worth it. With daylight saving can we cruise the Maribynong and have lunch, then cruise the Yarra?

How's early March sound - say the first Saturday or Sunday? Too far away?

March will be good for us

The first or second week end looks good for us.

Hi Guys, RE Yarra cruise, the first weekend would probably be better. The second is a long weekend so maybe not as many people around? Either way It's ok.

So could I assume that it would be lunch at the restaurant on the Maribynong?
Then the cruise up the Yarra and through the docks after lunch.

I am not going to have our boat any near ready, as you have probably worked out if you have been reading my topic, so Megan and I will join the mad mob for the luncheon.

Do we need to make a reservation at the restaurant? Or do we just wing it?

Peter, if you get it water tight we could give you a tow, but I'm sure there will be enough room to meet at the ramp and choose a boat or two to enjoy the cruise in. If everyone is keen to stop and have lunch before heading up the Yarra then we should book early, I was thinking that we should book anyway and if the weather is unkind we just have a "lunchtogether" (non wood boat translation "talk crap")
