To all our visitors who have to make our first year on the boat so memorable and enjoyable. Our adventure would not have been the same without our guests
We are ever so grateful to all of you. Special thanks to Terry and Colleen who put up with the bad weather as we endeavoured to head south out of The Netherlands and head for France. It is you guys that made the start of our adventure an absolute joy.
