The Independent emphasizes its commitment to accessible journalism at critical moments in US history, aiming to report on diverse perspectives without paywalls. Simultaneously, Andrew Simons has launched SailLink, a new catamaran service, Echoes, connecting the UK to France. This venture caters to travelers seeking a link between rail/bike travel and enjoyable sea experiences. Simons highlighted the challenges of arranging such travel and his motivation to create this service, which accommodates passengers and their belongings comfortably.
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls."
"This idea comes from my own needs just to travel across the Channel. I wanted to arrive at a port by train... and have a great time going across."
"The vessel is a 17-metre sailing catamaran named Echoes. We can get all our passengers on, and their luggage and their bikes."
