Steve is a cracking skipper, supported by Eric & Mark, from leaving the dock the sails went up almost immediately and away we went, through the heads out into the ocean. All actions on deck done professionally and quietly, we even caught a nice big fish just as we came back in through the heads. All finished off with an evening meal and a glass of bubbles. Thanks for a great evening on the water.
