Hi Jia,

We just wanted to say how much we appreciated your help and expertise during our stay with you in August 2015.

As you know our main problem was with our propeller shaft and excessive wear in the cutlass bearings. You and your engineer actually came to Rebak, Langkawi to get us mobile as there was no-one there willing or able to do the work. That was certainly beyond the call of duty. We hope you didn't mind sleeping on our narrow settee bunks!

Then we came to PSS Satun under our own steam and you have manufactured a new propeller shaft which should solve all our problems. And there were a couple of other minor issues which you solved most efficiently.

You and your delightful wife, Julie have been friendliness personified and we count ourselves fortunate to have met you both.

We will certainly be coming here again as and when necessary. We thought we would add a couple of photos that you could add to your rogues gallery in the residents' lounge. The one of us is when we were picked up by the French Police in New Caledonia and given a lift back to the boat!

With very best regards and all best wishes for the future.

Jim and Jean
