A very refreshing experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. A lot of the individual event’s success depends on the mix of people, and on my second visit, this worked extremely well. The time just flew by!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and a privilege for us to be onboard for the last leg of your voyage, which culminated with the magical day sailing around Lands’ End and seeing our dolphins.
