15th - 21st September 2013

This week we say au revoir to old friends and bonjour to old and new friends alike. Chef Mike has moved to new pastures ready for the winter season, so from all the crew we would like to wish him the best of luck, a fond farewell and to thank him for his months of excellence.

To fill such big boots we enlisted the big personality and chef of previous seasons, Sebastian, just for the week, and what a week we had. Fantastic food and a wonderful atmosphere was enjoyed by everyone. Adding to the brilliant ambience was the Luciole's new chef Marc, here for the latter part of the week and remaining with us for the rest of the season. So a big thank you to Seb and welcome aboard to Marc.

Having two chefs in the galley was not only a fantastic experience but a gastronomic delight for our guests who had a wonderful week of fabulous food and fun. The photograph is courtesy of matelot Tom's phone so apologies for the quality.
