On the Humber with Spider T
On Saturday April 2 the Humber Sloop SPIDER T had her first outing of the year. We joined Mal and Val Nicholson at 0700 hours at Keadby Lock for a trip on the ebb down the Trent and Humber then return with the tide. Here are a few photos of what was a very enjoyable day - read the full story in the next edition of 'The Slabline'.
