Did my first solo tour guide trip to Flat Holm. Two guys interested in photography and a father and nine year old daughter were the paying passengers on the BIV boat. Rosie (star of Susan Calman's Grand Day out to the Bay) filled us in on details about the Bay and warned us we might not be able to land due to the brisk NE wind.
The nine year old girl was terrified on the way out as it was definitely a very wet roller coaster ride. We did get to land and hand out life vests over to the Woody's Lodge guys who were leaving. Simon did let on to me that if there had been more life vests on board, we wouldn't have stayed!
The photographers were no problem on the tour but Dad, having been given permission to ask questions, did nothing but ask, but didn't seem interested in any of the answers. His daughter was equally afraid of the gulls so I had to keep the tour short and sweet.
When it came time to go home the rib took two attempts to tie up at the jetty and we had to board at the front as the back was awash with water. Made it back OK through.
