- Thank You Capt. B!

I liked to watch the Boson splicing a perfect eye into the moorings.

we were guests on board of your vessel at the beginning of October 2010.

All the crew – from captain to any other crew member – were always very friendly and most helpful. Everybody always had a smile for us when we met.
The absolute highlight for us was the Karaoke-evening we celebrated...
