“On one voyage was a brother and sister, Jennie and Ben. Jennie was in her wheelchair and was coming on the voyage to help her rehabilitation. Ben was understandably very protective of his sister but quickly relaxed once he realised how supportive everyone was.
After starting to explore St Malo’s cobbled streets in her wheelchair Jennie took to her crutches as it was easier and more comfortable.
