Captain Bob and First Mate Chloe were just awesome. We had a great time on Wood Island and the lighthouse and cottage were great. Only a suggestion, but maybe a little more time on the sailboat would be a good thing. It was a great day and we had a blast. Thank you, Carl, Gia, Shelly, Dave, Rich and Patty!
