“We were absolutely thrilled to bring home the wonderful trophy with us – it was so gratifying to know that so many people believed in our cause by deciding to award the trophy to Coastwatch, Portland Bill.  This is a terrific boost to the team here, who were all really pleased.  Thank you so much.”
