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 OnWater Boat Show.
