I got to know Lena & Bob in last few years, she was a very special person.

Has the renovation of the bridge, lock gate and other improvements dropped off the radar ?

Faversham, The Swale and the East Coast sailing scene have lost a very very special sailor and will be the poorer for it.
Bless you Lena.

Well said.

I'm presuming she was related to Alan in some way? Very sad, I knew her by reputation.

Very sad. She was a figure on the east coast old gaffer scene along with her small dog. A very accomplished yachtswoman.
