Vessel history Upon purchase Ocean Wave II cruised down the River Avon to Bristol Docks.  After about one month Ocean Wave II went to the River Thames via the  Kennett  and Avon canal and since then has cruised the Thames being moored at the Ting Dene marina near Reading.  In addition the vessel has cruised the tidal Thames staying at St Katharines Dock and Limehouse Marina.  She handles very easily, almost like a small motor cruiser according to one dockmaster.  Since Autumn 2008 vessel has been not used.
