Rochester to Richmond - A Thames Estuary Sailor's View

Nick Ardley, an eccentric anachronism from a simpler age, sails his clinker sloop between Rochester and Richmond to look at a century of change. The acrid-belching chimneys have evaporated, refineries closed, but the banks remain alive. He dips and dabbles along the way, exploring salt marshes, graves, industrial ruins, and renewal.
