I think there are around 22 boats booked, with crossings on Friday and Saturday (not earlier due to the repair work going on with the gates at Sharpness). However, latest news is that the EA can't get the gates at Lydney open due to the amount of rubbish washed into the docks by the rain. Watch this space for updates! Is the upper river open yet?
