It was a sunny Sunday in October when cadets took to the river in three RIB's to add to their boating experiences. Launching into the River Thames at Putney the day included a trip through Central London reaching Greenwich at mid day. All the usual sights were supplemented by a visiting warship, HMS Mersey, alongside HMS Belfast.
2014 has included a range of boating activities including rowing, power boating, sailing and kayaking (and of course the RYA Honda Youth RIB Challenge).

Costermongers' Harvest Festival 2014
Southwark Sea Cadet Unit were at the Costermongers' Harvest Festival at Guildhall in the City of London on Sunday, 28 September 2014.
Our cadets paraded alongside cadets from Hornchurch and Sheppey as well as representatives from the Royal British Legion and HMS President, and watched the traditional entertainment on show before marching to St Mary-le-Bow Church.
The event was attended by many Mayors, Donkey's and Carts, Marching Bands and of course the Pearly Kings & Queens and many other colourful characters.
A commemorative reception recognising the contribution of London-based veterans and military charities was held at City Hall on September 24, 2014. London Mayor Boris Johnson spoke at the event, which marked the centenary of the First World War, and the 75th anniversary this month of the start of the United Kingdom's involvement in the Second World War.
Southwark Sea Cadets were honoured to attend the event and take the opportunity to meet veterans of the Armed Forces.
Sea Cadets named their new flagship on Thursday 18 September at an event held in Canary Wharf London to say farewell to their current flagship. Richard Sadler, CEO of Lloyds Register Group Services Limited announced the new name as TS Royalist.
PPO Ben Wood together with Alfie Button and Andrew East were among London Area Sea cadets supporting the event which consisted of a reception attended by many VIP's and concluding with the ceremony of Evening Colours.
The new TS Royalist is due to commission in early 2015.
