The Nancy Blackett made her first voyage on Thursday when she sailed from Southwold to Ipswich . She is now safe and sound in the Ipswich Dock and looking forward to meeting visitors and friends over the weekend. On Sunday evening she will sail from Ipswich to Woolverstone where on Monday she will feature in a BBC TV "Bookworm" programme. Cameras will sail with her a the "Swallows" to feature in a programme dedicated to AR. Griff Rhys Jones will be there to present the feature but I would not be surprised if Nancy has the last word as usual!!
