"I love it! So full of seaside goodness...and of course everybody loves a crusty old sailor with storytelling skills. The kids look so captivated..they're surrounded by fun stuff to do; They could be sea-bathing, sailing, building record-breaking sandcastles. But why bother with that stuff when they're hearing an exciting story about a near-death experience in the Bahamas or somewhere?"
