Welcome,
Always good to say hello to new site members and hopefully one day we'll also get a chance to
cruise
in your region. It certainly sounds like a great cruise area and who knows - maybe swop a story or two.
Cheers
JOHN

We've been there as long as we've owned a boat and find it a great facility.
