African Warrior:
A Day on the Rivers Orwell and Stour
7 August 2005
We were lucky enough to receive a generous invitation to spend the day on the
yacht African Warrior. From Wolverstone marina on the River Orwell, we
travelled down to Harwich Harbour, and then up the River Stour.

towards the harbour

A very enjoyable day out - our second yachting trip, and
we hope not the last.
