Atlantic Edge Vacation Home
David, we visit almost every museum we see, but yours had to be the best yet!
Betty & Reg Hillman., Belleville, Ontario.


Capt. Dave, we have long since returned to Ontario, but truly cannot get Prime Berth out of our minds. When someone asks my son, Ben, what was his favourite experience in Newfoundland, he always answers, “Prime Berth!” The memory and the peace I felt on your boat that day is something I will carry with me always.
