Thank you note:
Hi John, thank you again for your hospitality! The group thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Westview Marina. The facilities were clean and complete, the employees helpful and capable, and the food delicious. Your fishing tips paid off (Ralph owes you an email!) and the courtesy car made it an easy run into town for groceries and liquor.
