Dear Brian and crew
It was a splendid holiday and thanks to your sensitive care I found I was able to join in most things – much more in fact than I thought I would be able to.
I think the highlight for me was the dolphins. I’d never seen so many before. French Pass, the scallops, everything really and I enjoyed the company. Weren’t we lucky with the weather? It was blowing a gale when I got home.
With best wishes for your future trips.
