"How in the world does anyone with three of age sons take a family vacation where every one is “happy”. THIS WAS IT! You had something for everyone at all times. The food that came out of Sally’s galley was inspiring, to say the least. (I think you should develop a cookbook for sailing charters!)

Your collective knowledge of the wildlife, on land and at sea, and the flora was extensive and appreciated.

Thank you Mark, for your patience with Windsurfing, I secretly hope that Jon and Jared will carry on and build on their experience with you.

Your home on water is beautiful, and as people before us have stated, your are one amazing team, and just observing your love for your boat, work and respect for each other was beautiful.
Thank you for the best week of vacation we have EVER HAD! I can’t wait to tell all of our friends.
Looking forward to tonight’s moonlight snorkelling safari!"

"You have blown our expectations out of the Caribbean! You went above and beyond in making our vacation special in every way. The meals, the cocktails, the appetizers were all incredible. Thank you also for the snorkel tours, and even the night snorkel. I was fearful , but still so thankful to have that opportunity to see what we saw.

You made our whole week a “first class” vacation. You showed us places we have never seen and you helped us relax in a way that some of us have not been able to in years and years! I saw my husband get the “giggles” for the first time in years too. Thank you for that! Your knowledge skills and spirit are something that we’ll keep with us until the next time we get to sail with you, and we will be back! Happy and Safe sailing."

April/May 2009
"Thank you for sharing your home with us and giving us the opportunity to “Live the Dream!!” Sally, the cooking, where do we start?! We tried to pinpoint our “favourite” dish, but couldn’t because they were all incredible!! Mark, your snorkelling spots and guided expeditions, led us to experience the underwater world like we had never seen it before – Vibrant corals, LARGE barracudas, turtles, stingrays, angel fishes, parrotfish……..our first sightings of trumpet fish, squid, Christmas tree worms, bristle worms, sea cucumbers and octopus (night snorkel!!)

Thanks for your hospitality, second to none!! The sailing, the food, the cocktails, the laughs…..we couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy the BVI’s.

Your love and passion for the sea, sailing and each other, is truly an inspiration. You are superb hosts, and have made this vacation special, and one we’ll remember forever. See you in the Grenadines."

Nights on the yacht or the Soggy Dollar bar
Made us consistently say ”Arrrrrr”.
The day has come to say goodbye
We have a tear in our eye
But don’t you fret, we’ll be back
For another ‘Viking Dream’ attack!"

We have already started making plans to return. I have not seen Kent that relaxed in about 10 years! Thanks again for the super lovely experience."
