It shouldn\'t happen to a classic...
Poor Crystal has just undertaken her first voyage of any distance under my command - myself and the crew took her to Ramsgate, then down the Swale, and into the Thames. In spite of being run aground twice in one tide (bloody Kent), and allowed to run out of diesel when the wind failed us early and we drifted up river until Midnight, and thrown about quite alarmingly by the wash of large vessels, the poor girl has come through thoroughly unshaken.
And we got put in the old boats corner at St Kaths, with some Thames Barges and a couple of gorgeous classics, which is well worth the extra cash!
