Smooth sailing with Paul!

Paul was an excellent skipper on a very fun, calming, quaint cruise! We chose to head down the Cherwell instead of directly down the Thames, giving us a lovely view of the colleges and a chance to poke fun at all the punts and peddlers along the way. A brilliant way to spend a late morning!
