Not much to tell. Pick up was on time and we arrived close to our estimated time of arrival. Gusty winds made for a slightly bumpy ride but that’s nature for ya.

Hi Lipe contacted us the day before and organized to pick us up directly at the hotel instead of the meeting point. We've been accompanied from the van to the boat by a service member. We lost something in the van and service team organized to send it with the boat the next day. Very good and quick communication.
