SB Ardwina – London to Lower Halstow

This Monday, Ardwina will depart St Katherine Docks, her home of 45 years. for her new life at Lower Halstow.

We’ve been dodging the awful weather to try and get Edith May rigged out and ready too, as we’ll be sailing to London to meet her at 1230pm as she leaves St Kats.

The two barges will have a photoshoot in front of the iconic Tower Bridge, before heading back downriver to arrive at Halstow for early afternoon on Tuesday.

Once she’s back, we’ll be hosting an open day and will be releasing our plans for the summer.
