Great experience
Had great few weeks joining the crew on SV Mollie with her captain Lyall from India to Djibouti. Lyall knows his ship as the back of his hand. He is an adventurous and youthful individual. And above all a trustworthy captain who allows his crew to preform better than they began their trip. When one puts in the effort of learning. Mollie is a sturdy ship with all basic essentials that make a safe and enjoyable trip. Hopefully our paths cross again on our journeys. Thank you Lyall (and my crew members Manu and Sam)
