  • "Visit to IOM"

    Sailed from Heysham to IOM and had a very pleasant crossing both ways, motorbike was securely straped down and safe. Sat in restaurant/cafe compartment which was very clean and comfortable. Not really a criticism, but took 4 hours both trips, which can become a little tedious.
