| GUESTS COMMENTS | | Feb. 2011 | Ann and Bill,
Thank you both for making the experience possible. We knew it would be a challenge for John, but underestimated just how much of a challenge it would be. If not for your patience and willingness to help him as needed--and he needed quite a bit of help (due to his handicap)--the trip would have been impossible.
As for appreciating the food--how could anyone NOT appreciate it?!! The marvelous meals added that touch of glamour to the whole experience. (And yes, the sample menus had much to do with choosing the Corus over the other possibilities).
It's impossible to put a price on your care and help. As John said when he gave the gratuity to Bill, it was in recognition of your going "above and beyond". We'll never do another sailboat cruise like this in the future--it was a lot of effort (considering John's handicap)--but we're both really glad to have had the experience, and we certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Corus if anyone we know would like to go a'sailing.
Mary Jo and John | | December 2011 | Dear Bill & Ann,
Words cannot express how we feel about the past week sailing on the beautiful Corus thru the BVI. The water, winds and islands - you live in paradise.
Our life and experience on the boat was filled with amazing food, great wine and best of all, conversations that allowed us to solve all the world's problems.
Thanks for your companionship & experience on our too short voyage around the BVI. If you ever happen to be in SW Florida, we hope you stop by for a visit and a bottle (or two) of wine!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Elgin & Bronwyn | | November 2011 | Dear An & Bill,
It is a wonderful memory for us to be married in the VI's on your beauitful yacht. Thanks for having us and for taking such good care of us, with great sailing, scenery, snorkeling and much more.

| Winters Charter | We enjoyed our charter very much. The sailing and snorkeling were wonderful. Bill and Ann are extremely friendly and fun to be around. They really went all out to make the charter special for us. Our meals were excellent – Ann is a wonderful chef. Corus is beautiful and very comfortable, we liked our cabin very much.

| A decade has gone by... | And no doubt hundreds of guests have come and gone, but I spent my 40th birthday with you all and am now 16 months from my 50th and wanted to check in with you again! I will turn 50 on 1/5/13, and my husband Erik and I want to look into booking maybe 5 nights with you all right around then.
You probably don’t remember us with all the folks you have coming and going, but my husband is a little bit more memorable..he has shaggy blond hair, is a graphic designer from CT, and I am a financial advisor from Tampa. As I recall, Erik and Bill spent a few evenings up late polishing off the Speckled Hens. He also likes to cook. We went all over the place with you guys, but my favorite was Anegada. I also remember Ann making me crispy duck the night of my birthday, and drinking French champagne under the stars in my bathing suit. I still remember her saying that if she had known it was my birthday, she would have done “something special,” which I think is funny to this day, as that was probably one of the best dinners/evenings of my life.
We’ve traveled the world since then, and stayed at some of the world’s best hotels, from China to Canada, from Siberia to Sicily (and most places in between), but I think the week with you still ranks as my best vacation ever…even without AC!
We have 3 kids now, and things have changed quite a bit, but I would like something to look forward to on my 50th…are you booked yet around those dates?
Look forward to hearing from you---

(Computer Software Co. Executive.) | | March 2011 | Hello Bill and Ann,
Our vacation with you was the trip of a life time, Valentine's Day and our seventh anniversary! Your home, the Corus is a beautiful boat and the memories we made will be with us a long time after our return. The scenery was breath taking, we'e never been so "taken care of" on any vacation ever! A luxury cruise is not even close. The diving was our favorite thing, and the snorkeling was gorgeous as well. Bill is a great dive master (also an excellent captain, waiter, server and bar tender!) I say all that first because I'm sure everyone always brags FIRST on Ann's culinary expertise and Bill told us we were going to give you the "big head", so we wanted to make our compliments first to the captain. We also told Ann that we would tell everyone that on this trip, Gordon, who is famous for having ice cream before dinner, refused ice cream on Virgin Gorda because he didn't want to ruin his dinner (compliments of Ann). Believe me Ann, that's never happened and we have eaten in some of the best restaurants on numerous trips in many different countries. It would be difficult to compare to sitting on top of the Corus, under a full gorgeous moon, while Bill graciously serves us a delicious meal with our favorite wine! We would never have imagined that a charter vacation on a sail boat could be so utterly relaxing, maybe Bill should have made us work "just a little"! Best wishes to you both, we hope to see you again someday!

Loudon, Tennessee | | Goodritch Charter | Bill and Ann were friendly, very personable and fun to be with. They were considerate and most interested in providing whatever we wanted. The meals were excellent – the best we’ve had in the Caribbean and on a par with New York and Philadelphia restaurants we are used to.
