MAGNETIC SKY Testimonials
Feb. 18-25, 2012 - Braden Party
"Magnetic Sky" is a beautiful and meticulously maintained platform for the best vacation I can imagine. Richard led 6 challenging novices with kind equanimity through beautiful wind and water, to picturesque anchorages and quiet beaches as Eden spent hours every day and evening serving up one culinary masterpiece after another. But there were simpler delights: Fresh ground and brewed coffee to start each morning and happy hour with drinks of choice to begin every evening. Morning walks with Richard or Eden or both found the day's croissants and baguettes and even, occasionally, an out of this world French pastry.
To anyone considering "Magnetic Sky" and her crew, Eden and Richard, I say dive into the experience headlong. You will have no regrets and make beautiful memories.
