Was a wonderful visit to the beautiful Nelson BC, where my Daughter and I received exceptional training from Penny on the very nimble and well maintained Spindrift. Penny was fun and took the time to answer any questions. Her training methods and course information made us all feel comfortable and confident by the second day. Loved the course and hope we can return for further courses in the future.
Thanks Penny!
