Dear Emma, We simply cannot express in words the thanks of the Hodgson family for our 6 days on the Emma Jane. Everything was perfect - especially our crew who seemed to become part of the family and made every day a different experience. This morning we received a card (of leaping dolphins) written on by all the family. Perhaps Poppy's words to Grandma and Grandpa say it all "I loved this trip so much! I hope you had as much fun as I did". The cry goes out "Where next?" but at our age this is probably an impossible dream. However , you never know and it would be lovely to think that the Barlow family had something else it might offer us. It has been a pleasure to meet you, With our best wishes, Michael and Nancy and the Hodgson family

Please convey our thanks to Rob, Stevie, Phil and Alex for their efforts to provide a fantastic week afloat. The crew’s efforts made our week on board a time to remember and look back on with complete satisfaction. Despite the weather doing it’s best to disrupt our trip, the crew confirmed their absolute ability to put us amongst the wildlife of the area. Rob’s command of the vessel and knowledge of the area ensured that we were at all times safe and comfortable. As a retired chef, I did my utmost to test Stevies ability in his galley, to his credit, the food produced was excellent, his attention to our dietary requests exceeded our expectations. With visibility offen quite poor, Alex our guide did a steadfast job, remaining outside in all weathers whilst spotting the wildlife we had come to view.
