"What a great SAILING holiday, removed all the formalities, and marina hassle, leaving us time to relax, enjoy a gourmet experience, and SAIL.
Solway Mist is a joy to sail and both Lori and Simon obviously enjoy the sailing. Lori's attention to detail, presentation and quality of food was outstanding, and Simon was willing to take all the hassle and let us enjoy the sailing. My wife enjoyed it as much as I did".
