Below is my letter to the Nautical Institute to nominate Captain Alwin Landry as Shipmaster Of The Year 2010. Unfortunately the deadline was last week but, if you agree with the nomination, then CLICK HERE to download an entry form, edit the comments I have written, then email the document to: [email protected]

Best Regards,
John
