Surprising a Fan - Amazing story!
What an inspiring story. You definitely don’t come across stories like this too often and after reading Ians email in response to the winning patron call out we smiled, laughed, cried and took the time to really appreciate what we have.
Thank you so much for your support Ian and for the courage to share your tale with us. Also a huge thanks to Andrew his son for helping us tee up the surprise and working with us on getting together some footage for this little doco.
We are so happy to see Cynthia back in the water and looking so beautiful. Fair winds and following seas, hopefully see you out there on the water someday.
