One of the best stories in Classic Sailor this month is by Mary Gibbs, who wanted her boat Molly to be nearer home. Molly was in Maldon and Mary was near Manchester; a sea voyage was impractical and taking the boat by road felt wrong, so she decided on the Thames and the canals as a way of getting Molly from East to West. Read about her excellent adventure in the June issue of CS.
