Maldon riverfront – always changing – always constant

Hi Dylan, the barge you see at 1:36 with Goole, written on the side.
She’s called (or used to be at least) “Audrey”, she used to be based in Hull Marina and wintered up Beverly Beck off the river Hull.
She was owned by the sobriety project, a charity that took disadvantaged youngsters sailing, my father was one of the Skippers. I’ve been through the Caledonian Canal on board, and from Holland across to Wells next the Sea and back up to the Humber, as well as a race involving all the Humber Keels on the river.
This was about ten years ago, I was about 13, so I was amazed to see her on your video! Still the same colour scheme!
Thanks! Rich
Every boat has a thousand stories to tell – but they need humans to tell them
– bugger the wine is talking again
ironic given the involvement of the sobriety society

It’s nice to have the wine to blame Dylan…. some poor unfortunates don’t!
