London Calling - Sailing up the River Thames

Our first shakedown cruise on the new boat takes us from Southampton to London with stops in Brighton and Dover and concludes with a fascinating day navigating the shoals in the Thames Estuary and sailing up the River Thames to arrive at London’s Tower bridge and St. Katherine Docks for the London On-Water Boat Show. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­­­••••••••••• Principal photography by Paul and Sheryl Shard.
