Haha, we got quite wet

This was a very pleasant trip overall with friendly crew. The boat was quite full but not unpleasantly so. We definitely should have paid more attention to the advice from the crew that if we insisted on lying about at the front of the boat we could expect to become very wet! One small thing, the meals provided were in the form of small Pizza Hut boxes from which we were expected to eat some then pass it on. This was all a bit weird. I think it would actually have been better to have no food, but perhaps I'm just prejudiced against bad pizza.

Sailing

I have been a fisherman's daughter and spent a lot of time on the water out at sea. First time on a sailing boat and would highly recommend it, an amazing experience with great staff
