Do you want to join me for 
The 100 MAGIC MILES SAILING HOLIDAY

In the distance the islands rise majestically, their dark silhouettes like pyramids on the simmering horizon. Along their rocky shores, patches of brilliant white sand merge with the sea turning aquamarine, then emerald, their fringing coral reefs iridescent beneath the surface, their voluptuous hills becoming yellow-green in the tropical sunlight.
