TESTIMONIALS

To give you an idea of how much everyone liked the trip, read the following excerpt of an email I received from one of my nephews:

“Well, I have no idea how to even write the appropriate thank you note for the trip.  The French would call something like this trip ‘halucinant’, which loosely translated is something so good you think it’s a hallucination.  And everyone is on the same page regarding that.  To quote George, whom I spoke with yesterday about a return trip:  ‘I would definitely pitch in money to go again next year, hell, next week’.

Having two boats turned out great.  Most of the younger crowd was on XXX  and the older folk on True North.  We sailed every day which gave us plenty of opportunity to have some friendly competition between the two crews.  True North was usually faster in the typically 15 knot winds – although I suspect this may have been partly due to Robert’s outstanding sailing skills.

For thanksgiving dinner, we moored the two boats together which made going between the vessels extremely easy – even for my (80 year old) mother.  It worked so well that we moored the boats together every evening for the rest of the trip.  And somehow, both chefs managed to coordinate so that all the food was served at the  same time!

So everyone had a tremendous time and I think the feeling was unanimous that this was our best Thanksgiving ever!  My Mom enjoyed it a lot and was delighted to see everyone having a good time.
