I met Andy and Sam on board their London Barge 'Lady Daphne' in Charlestown. They bought her from the current Lord Mayor of London in 2016. Before becoming the current custodians of Lady Daphne Andy was a software engineer, and Sam has continued to work as an optician.
They used to sail her on the River Thames to fund the extensive rennovations and repairs. After the pandemic they travelled to Cornwall, Sam said it was not a pleasant trip!
More info on Lady Daphne here . It is becoming more difficult to find money to fund the necessary repairs and maintenance and the full time work is a labour of love, blood and tears.
