Forgot that we could get one drink so I enjoyed the beer although it would have been better if it was cold. It was slightly more than room temp. The white wine is meh. My partner did not enjoy it and so didn’t finish it. I was happy to find little snacks being served at the start which was needed as we didn’t have time to eat! Dinner came later once we finished the tour. The sunset and having a sail…”
