| GUESTS COMMENTS | | From good old Tennessee | fisher charter, ohio and tennessee, nov 05
A quick note to thank you folks again for the absolute best vacation of my life! It's been nearly two weeks since we left the Promenade and I'm still thrilled at the good times we had. You made me feel comfy and welcome from the moment I stepped onboard. Being able to dive with my brother in those gorgeous waters and reaching out and touching that injured turtle swimming within arm's reach are my highlights of the trip. I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it, again. I sure hope Duane and I can visit with you again someday. I wish you a happy Holiday Season and a great sailing season.

| Sail BVI Cape Cod Pirates, April 06 | I did not really get a chance to properly thank you as I was assigned luggage duty on our departure.
Returning home has not been an easy adjustment, I haven't eaten since breakfast last Saturday because no one rings a bell. My thoughts were of the Promenade this morning as I was defrosting my windshield on my drive to work. I cannot begin to tell you the enjoyment that Carol and I received on the trip. Besides being in warm weather and even better water, your guidance and assistance was invaluable. I really enjoyed talking with and listening to Bazza about all topics, the boat, on sailing and even politics. He is
truly a knowledge individual. Your captain's blog was a big hit at home
and I have shown it to some of my co-workers, all are jealous. I would like to especially thank Lasse for all his assistance with us in the water, etc.
I enjoyed hearing of his experiences in other parts of the world. All of you are interesting people with a variety of life stories.
It is a vacation that I knew I would prefer but I cannot believe how much Carol, Pat and Bill enjoyed all the activities. All of you were especially attentive and considerate to Bill's condition. It was a real sad moment for me as the ferry sailed past the Promenade; seeing Kerry and Bazza in the dingy and Lasse on the back deck, it was then I realized the trip that I so anticipated all year was coming to and end. St. Thomas was great but nothing compared to a quiet cove and a morning swim. We will be following you on your blog. I have already asked Dan what my retirement gift will be since it is out of our initial friendship that this all took place. Thank you again and may you all have good health and good winds.
Well, it is almost a week since we chugged our way back to the dock in the dingy laden with unused and unneeded luggage. I am still trying to get out from under the laundry - reality hits so quickly.
Words can't express how wonderful our vacation on the Promenade was. It was 7 days of absolute perfect weather and unforgettable times. It is something no one can explain -you just have to experience it. Bill and I had no idea we would enjoy it so much. (As you remember, I was the reluctant one of our group who was a bit unsure about this trip) Well, I am ready to go again. We loved everything about it - from the snorkeling, the sailing, the food, the great company, and the wonderful guidance, knowledge, and advice of a most friendly, warm and experienced crew.
We have so many fond memories of our Promenade sail - My doorbell rang the other day and I ran to the kitchen table and sat down waiting for someone to bring me food. We really got used to that bell.
We would especially like to thank you for your kind attentiveness to Bill's needs on our journey. You made him feel so comfortable and he thoroughly enjoyed every moment as did I.
Our days in St.Thomas were wonderful as well but nothing compared to our week on your yacht.
Thank you once again for the trip of a lifetime and who knows - you may see us again some time.
We have already recommended this trip to several others - you never know.
If you ever need anyone to tell your guests what not to bring give me a call and I will be happy to oblige - lord knows we made that mistake.
Happy and safe sailing to you and may you always have perfect BVI weather in which to sail.
Bill and Pat Mehleisen

| barnes family and friends charter | After surviving 3 flights (4 hours layover on one), losing our luggage (finally found and delivered) and returning to work 12 hours on Monday we know we are back in our real world. Thanks for the slice of heaven you and your crew provided us. It was greatly appreciated and far exceeded our expectations in every way. I gained 4 pounds due to the great food! We hope to see you all again someday. Penny
I had a very nice time on our week on the Caribbean Sea, and your collective attention to the details, and your willingness to go the extra mile to make sure we had fun, were big keys to the overall enjoyment. Our biggest complaints regarding our stay on St. Thomas were in regard to our unsuccessful attempt to get a chance to taste the delicious smelling bar-b-que chicken, and the lack of someone to tell us what to do each day. Without the latter we had no organization and too many opinions to allow us to be effective in getting our day going. There were also scattered complaints about (a) the lack of coffee awaiting us at 7 AM, (b) the lack of snacks and cocktails at 5 PM, and (c) the lack of cold drinks throughout the day. I suspect that by the time the rest of the folks are ready to depart they will likely also have complaints about the lack of a box where all missing things (except my bathing suit) ultimately turnup... but that, of course, is merely speculation.
