Good luck to
Kit and Gemma and may they have many happy years together from
Ocean Adventures! And thanks for the email below.
Hi Giles,
Both Gemma and I would just
like to say a massive thank you for the weekend. We had a
brilliant time and really enjoyed meeting you and the other
guys, getting involved with the sailing, as well as our big
night on Saturday! Thank
you so much for looking after us and for the champagne, it was
such fun. It is a weekend that we'll never forget - it's not every
day you come away with a new desire to sail, a light sunburn and a
fianc�. Thank you

Thanks for the email below, always nice to get feedback.
Hi Giles
Just a note to say a big thank you for making our 2 days of
sailing such a great experience. As you know the trip was
booked to celebrate our Dad's 60th Birthday, and he (along with
James and I) loved every minute at sea and would of gladly stayed
out on the boat longer! We really did not want the 2 days to
come to an end.
Thanks for creating such a friendly and chilled-out atmosphere on
board and for booking the weather! What a mix we
had............. strong wind with rain one day, calm, sunny and
relaxed the next - I think we had it all offering some great
sailing.
As we said on the way back in, we would love to follow-up this
trip with another one (the France idea is a good one) and we will
certainly be back in touch soon.
In the meantime, thanks once again for a fantastic break away.
Mark, James & Robert
Leaving

nice sail round the back of the Island!
