Kent Winter Warmer, 14th of January 2016
We will follow Nick Ardley who you might describe in the nicest way as a “ditch crawler”, and his mate, on a passage around the east coast’s rivers between N. Kent and mid Suffolk aboard their Finesse 24, Whimbrel.
As they wend their way, weaving in and out of muddy creeks, Nick especially watches as the world passes slowly by, wondering... Once at anchor, we find that Nick is just as likely to continue exploring in a gunter-rigged dinghy, sometimes dragging his mate with him, to search for the lost world that rests amongst so much of our salt, marsh and mud.
