‘James, often when your dreams come true the reality fails to live up to your imagined world. Not in this case and very largely because of the people that have helped us realise the dream. So our very sincere thanks to you for the part you have played in delivering this fantastic reality! From a personal point of view I want to thank you for your patience, calm and very clear instruction and copious use of neutral gear in driving both boat and trainee helmsman!’
