Feel free to post this on your site

Peter, Thank you once again for all of your help and guidance preparing for our first canal trip. Coming from the US, this was different from our usual boating experience at home.
We had an amazing (and sometimes challenging) time. My teenager, who was our captain is now enjoying retelling how when I was at the helm for a minute, I got us grounded. With great pride, he is now able to tell everyone how he got us back in good form. The boat was so comfortable and a nice place to relax during the evenings. I can’t say enough good things about the experience, people we met along the way (the locals who helped with the lock and swinging bridges), and your terrific communication.

Felicia.Maryland US.
