What others say

I would like to congratulate Eli for such a fantastic job teaching Bridget how to sail over the last few days.  I was very happy with her progress every day, she says she had a great time and it was lots of fun.  I saw her sailing, she looked as happy as a lark, smiling and happy.
Thank you to the team, especially Eli Flynn- Kann he is a great instructor.
