Capts Jen & Jeff,
"Dave and I cannot thank you enough-you managed to take one sailor wannabe & one neophyte completely green & significantly dubious of her ability to learn something new and helped them see that anything is possible with the right teachers. Your incredible knowledge, patience, sense of humor, and fabulous grub!! Five star all the way! Looking forward to our next adventure." Karen and David, Ontario, Canada
