St Ayles Skiff Thames outing cancelled

Faced with the prospect of towing a 22ft boat 450 miles through snow and rain, Alec Jordan has been forced to cancel Saturday's Thames demo of the St Ayles Skiff. Especially understandable as the boat has no cover - I towed Nessy back from the Broads through torrential rain a couple of years back and ended up with a mobile swimming pool behind the car - awkward at best and potentially very dangerous.
