To Whom It May Concern,

A passenger rarely sits down to praise a crew member. Yet what happened on your 7:00 sailing this morning has stayed with me all day, and I wanted you to know about it. I am new to Victoria, having only just arrived from Nanaimo. As someone without a car, I am still learning how to get around the city.
