Hi everyone. Just wondered how many FABers also regularly use the boats on the Thames? Be fun to say hi socially during the journey. Am on the RB6 almost all of its journey myself.

Well at least one of you has said hi. Anyone else who wishes to be sociable on their commute do say hello

Little bump as the working from home guidance has gone, so like many I guess I will be back on the boat in the coming days.

Maybe as the weather warms up a sociable FAB drink could be had one day at the back of the boat if enough of us are on the same sailing

I have been known to take the RB6 home now and then. Too expensive for everyday, but once or twice a month is nice, especially on a sunny evening.

Love the Thames super highway lol beats sitting in city traffic with the added bonus of a bar

Thanks for the replies. Agreed too expensive daily unless a season ticket works for you.

Yes the bar is a good feature - maybe a back of the boat social when the weather improves could be arranged

sounds like fun!

I was thinking of getting it home today, but had to go in the opposite direction of the pier and was too lazy to walk back

I work on and repair the oyster readers on the piers love working on them and using the clippers to travel up and down the Thames (added bonus I travel for free on them) not so much fun in yhe winter so might have to keep my eye out for fellow fabsters

Can imagine that van be pretty grim in bad weather _uminmyhole69 so thanks! I cycle to the boat so know what you mean re winter time.

Seems to be a few of us about then. I will be back on the RB6 tomorrow and Wednesday

Think the crews work really hard. Have to admit there was a very attractive lady member of crew the other morning - woke me from my early slumber

Will be back on the boat Monday and Thursday from May. Maybe those of us on an evening homebound RB6 should try and have a little bar social one night

Been a while so giving this a little bump now the autumn chill is in the air. Monday and Thursday are my regular RB6 days - usually on the one that starts in Putney 0745 and leaves Canary Wharf 1825.

mini bump - have been away but back on the RB6 from this week. Happy to have a friendly sociable chat with any FABers that are on. Message if you'd like to know my movements on the Thames

I need to get the boat home, but I only go to the office a couple of times a week.

Similar - am only in office twice per week now so 4 trips on boat normally.

My closest stop is Tower, but there is a limited service. When the weather is a bit better I might get the boat from London Bridge. I do like the river commute.

Almost worth moving back to the Wharf for!

When I used to commute out to the Isle of Dogs they were pretty chatty... Might be different for chaps but I found spontaneous convos quite easy to come by

Happy Clipping!

[one day I will learn how to make the Fab smilies work first time, one day...]

Hello Hydrological! No I agree, plenty of nice people on the boats and had some good conversations. Do say hello if back on at some point

Am now usually to be found on the 0740 off of Putney towards Canary Wharf and back on the 1749 ex Canary Wharf Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Little bump as we all look forward to more sunshine. Am now on the boat Wednesday and Thursday - same route as per usual so feel free to say hi.

Do think we should aim for a homeward bound FAB sociable drink one evening on teh RB6.
