Clive and Flora Whittall

8th February 2010

Somewhere in the BVI off an old fashioned Pirate´s bay!

An escapade that nearly did not happen! If only access was easier from the jungle of Costa Rica. A wonderful relaxing vacation that put Clive back on the right track. Thanks to you both he is so much more confident in his walking – springing on and off the dinghy. But above all he has found his appetite again! You were both wonderful in coping with 2 old crocs! May be you should start a company for people like us! Giving superb service – accommodation – and wonderfully healthy – delicious food – under difficult circumstances!

The sea was wonderful – not too hot and perfectly aquamarine. We actually “sailed” – rare of most of our sailing trips – anywhere in the world! So good luck – we wish you well and let´s keep in touch – just in case you go off to Tonga! Or Belize! If you decide on Panama we are but a leap-skip and a jump away!

“Merde” as we say en France!

Ciao,
Flora and Clive Whittall

E-mail sent to John Lane, Sailing Directions:
We are just about finishing a lovely holiday in the BVI. Thank you for recommending Sayang and her lovely crew. They were really kind and thoughtful as Clive was not the easiest of passengers and frightened of getting on and off the boat. He has done marvelously and is a new man now.
We had good weather and sailing conditions were wonderful. Paul is a very careful skipper and they both take a lot of pride in their boat, which is wonderful to see. Ratna cooked us superb meals and made sure Clive was fed on time...we are from the Med and like our meals at set times...The cabin was just what we wanted, plenty of space and we did not need to crawl over each other when coming to bed. The electric toilets were fantastic! We loved the little beach bars, but did not eat on shore much, as frankly, we preferred Ratna´s cooking.

Thank you again for recommending Sayang and have a good season.

Best wishes,
Flora Whittall
