With enormous gratitude, a shout out to all the Pelican Slipways staff and our local boating community. We have worked hard and been rewarded with so many friendships, surprises and life lessons, on the whole a truly wonderful experience. Our lease on the yard (and cafe) ends soon, there are no further bookings available at this stage, but watch this space!
