December 2006

(Just for the hell of it)

It is impossible to say just what we liked best on this vacation ~ you know I ran out of adjectives around Day 2! Perfect weather, a full moon and starlit nights, awesome sailing and snorkeling, dolphin and stingrays, beautiful bays and beaches. Fabulous food and dangerous drinks (thanks for that delicious Cosmopolitan) rounded out this perfect vacation. Above all, it was your hospitality, easy conversations, and your passion for life that made this week so special. Thank you so much ~ we wish you the best in all your future endeavors! Bob & Petra McGregor

Thank you so much for helping me make the waning days of "Greg's 30's" so fun! (Yes ~ I know he will get so much wiser now) You are both so charming & lovely, that the charter life seems excellent ~ until I realize how hard you work!!! There are many memories we could thank you for, but the shining examples follow...

~showing me how to prepare veggies so they actually be eaten, including "broccoli a la dinghy"

~ my favorite dessert ~ German Chocolate, YUMMY

~ taking us to so many beautiful places that will be the back drop for the 2007 swim suit calendar. (Clearly I will never run out of "oh Wow!"

 ~ teaching me the slick bikini top trick (front tie way cooler) and inspiring me to wear Curt's two favorite colors (and apparently Greg's as well) ~ short and tight

~ putting the kayak in so many time because we love kayaking! (especially to small private islands, That's a different memory card!!! he he he)

~opening the door to Old San Juan and El Yunque. Truly an inspiring and lovely experience. Thank you for sharing your beloved place.

Dear Victoria & Curt, Thank you for making our 25th anniversary charter unforgettable! You are a very nice couple, which is crucial when you live so close for a week. It will be hard to say goodbye tomorrow.

Thank you for letting the US Customs Boarder Patrol take care of us, so we wouldn't have to be alone on St. Thomas.  :-)

Even though our English skills wasn't the best, we had lots of fun together with you. Beating you in pool - being beaten by Victoria in power shopping and letting Victoria know she was no "mastermind".  :-)

We would love to host you if you come to Denmark - we have plenty of room for you and you can see our new "dinghy". We can also arrange a lot of Haribo candy for Curt.

Greetings from Vivi, Erling (wet hair & snowman), Pernilla & Martin

BILLY JEAN ROCKS!!!

We had a great time snorkeling, we saw dolphins, sea turtles and 2 stingrays. I tubed from the BVI to the USVI which was very cool. We went to Willy T's and I served drinks and they made me an official member and I got a tattoo. We walked through the baths and I got buried.

Thank you, Jayde (me), Kim and Greg

Dear Curt & Victoria,     We are so grateful to your mother Victoria, for being so flexible that our vacation became possible. We were so in need of some relaxation and we certainly got it. You were such gracious host anticipating all of our needs. I've never been fed so well and with such enthusiasm. Thank you for showing us your world and making us feel welcomed and well cared for. Thank you especially for enduring Bill and his please for you to open a restaurant. Really though, the food is that good. Until we see you again, and we will, wishing you all the best in the years to come.  Janet & Bill

P.S. Parmesan shrimp, fried peppers, filet mignon, sesame peppered broccoli, smoked peas, banana pancakes. yum yum :-)  We look forward to seeing you and eating with you again ~ you're terrific ~  Bill


The Baker Experience "Part II"

March 31st to April 7th, 2006

 

 

Thanks again for another wonderful vacation! The Spanish Virgin Islands are great. The whole trip was perfect. The snorkeling was the best yet especially around "Diks Bay." The kayaking was good at Porto Manglar. The sea cucumbers and starfish were bountiful.

Next time we might bring the kids...... maybe not. Sailing together with you on the Billy Jean is one of the best things we've ever done as a married couple.

Thanks for the wonderful trip, food, education and conversation.

Doug and Tisha Baker Branson MO

P.S. No Tan Lines

Hi Mom!! Its all been said already!! We came aboard the "Billy Jean" not knowing what to expect, and got 100% more then anthing we could have dreamed of. I am not a water lover, but you ~ Curt and Victoria, made me feel safe. The food was fantastic, now I have to seriously diet!! The discussions at night kept our brains from turning to Mush, like our bones have. Good Luck to you both. See you soon.          Love. Carol

The Pillaging & pirate adventure was great! We really scared the square rigged 3 master!! He won't come in THESE waters again!! All the worlds problems have been solved over "Drinky Poo's" in the evening. Wonderful conversation! Thanks for letting me sail the Billy Jean, it was easier then my 12' boat. (But then I didn't have Curt looking over my shoulder! Thanks Tons! Mike Caswell

We have to leave! "its pitiful"
