Our captain Darren as we leave St. Andrews. I should mention that Darren and his wife Kim are two of the nicest people that you will ever meet and go out of their way to accommodate their passengers.

Darren told me that he is a native of Moncton, NB and this is their first year to operate the Molly Kool. I saw first hand how well Darren knows how to operate this boat and it is truly amazing! Viewed: 532 times.

She didn't have her sails down as there just wasn't much wind - which is unusual for this area.
