It was a truly memorable day. The ship is a beautiful bit of history and workmanship and the crew acted tirelessly to ensure everyone had a great sail. I witnessed the captain demonstrate ample patience which allowed two young children the opportunity to take the wheel whilst waters were calm which I’m sure made it memorable for them too. Who knows maybe a future captain may emerge too?
