John, I want to thank you again and in behalf of all the lads from Tipperary and Galway for organising this most enjoyable day out. We all look forward to meeting you again on another charter and thank you Luke for all the help and advice provided. You provided an excellent service with tea and coffee, not to forget the lovely scones from Mary! Thanks again!

Well done John.

Hi Guys,
Just catching up with the topic. First, thank you all for great companion. Weather was great or not-so-bad if you like
I’m glad I saw a basking shark, first time in my life. Pity I haven’t catch a wrasse. It was a nice day and I hope to see ye soon!
