Requested by John

Requested by John captain and owner of S/V Chelone



Hi Pat,

Had I realized you were going to post my email on your ‘blog’ I would have pointed out for others to see what a benefit it was to us ‘strangers in town’ to have been sought out by yourself in St.John’s Harbour and been ‘chauffeured’ around town in your car being given invaluable advice on local resources etc.
indeed we would never have known the existence of Quidi Vidi Harbour and met other great friends such as Peter (S/VTyhina) and Dave Fong (QV Brewery) not to mention the fresh Muffins and coffee for the entire crew purchased at your own expense that you so kindly brought to the boat that cold wet morning!

Right up to our last day when you helped us victual the boat Pat, filling your car to the roof to transport us and the supplies back and forth from the shopping mall, and taking those great ‘leaving harbour’ pictures you forwarded, you are the kind of person that any cruising sailor could only dream of encountering when arriving in a strange port and on behalf of myself and my crew, Thank you so much,

Please post this on your Blog, hopefully you will cross the ‘Pond’ some day, you and Karin would have a very warm welcome here in Saundersfoot, Wales,

Kindest Regards,

John.
