Nancy Blackett: to Buckler’s Hard and back again
On Wednesday, Nancy Blackett and her now small crew departed from Gosport and set sail for Buckler's Hard, the former ship-building centre on the Beaulieu River, in the heart of the New Forest, spending the night there. Yesterday, she motored all the way back across the Solent to Hamble in the teeth of a north-easterly […]
