| Susan says... | Looking at our photos brings back the wonderful memories or our charter earlier this month. We loved the boat, loved the islands we visited, but best of all we liked our skipper and hostess. Geirge was a superb skipper. He was such a competent sailor, helped us improve our own sailing skills, gave great recommendations of what we should see on each island! I felt my family was in the best possible hands. Venia was so much fun and served us the best food we had in Greece -- and we like Greek food very much.
I have attached a few photos -- hope you are able to open the file.
Again, thank you for a charter that exceeded our expectations. I have told all my friends about our experience.
Best regards,
Susan D.

| Gazpacho’s team, August 2009 | We don’t have words to describe this week. Everything was just perfect. We don’t know how to say which was the best part: the yacht, the skipper, Venia or the company! Everything was amazing! George and Venia were the best. We hope to live that dream again. It was unforgettable.
There are no words, only sentiments.
Thanks for everything, for making us so happy!

I wish there was a better place on this boat to just sit and read and relax so that everyone else could stop being jealous of my spot. Thanks for the rogue waves and great food.

We came from Russia and stayed on board IDEA! For 1 marvelous week. The weather was good if not for weak winds but the last day was a race!
Next time we will go to Cyclades as we like a strong wind!
Special thanks to Alex who despite his young age is a very experienced and professional captain and just a nice guy and wish him all the best. We appreciate Irina’s cooking talent, knowledge of the Greek history and pleasant way of communication .Sorry we ate so little to enjoy more of her delicious cuisine!
The only thing to complain about is that this week passed too quickly!
We are determined to come back !
Thank you and good luck!

We came to celebrate Harry Zinn’s birthday all the way from los Angeles, California and Erinna and Alex made my first sailing experience one that I will never forget.
The catamaran was great ,the Greek Islands we visited beautiful, but what made this trip unforgettable was the delicious greek food Erinna prepared ,the great guidance of our skipper Alex,and their warm & friendliness that they provide & gave us.
Thank you very much.

Our sailing experience aboard Idea! Was simply fantastic. The boat, the crew, the food and the destinations all exceeded our expectations. Alex was excellent as our skipper. He made for smooth sailing to a great mix of ports and swimming sports. We enjoyed his company , his expertise and his knowledgeable guidance.Erinna’s food was outstanding.It was like having a Mamma on board (expect much younger and prettier). She is an incredible young woman and was an absolute pleasure to sail with. This has been a long planned celebration for my friend Harry's 50th birthday. He wanted to be with his closest friends and show them a little of his Greek heritage. It could not have been better. This was our first visit to Greece. We will certainly return.
Thank you,

Alex is a flawless skipper, knowledgeable and always wanting to please.Erinna is a joy to travel with.A fabulous chef, and incredibly knowledgeable about Greece .I could go on and on.Our week was fabulous and we can’t wait for our next sail.
Efharisto poli!

Thank you for such a wonderful week aboard the IDEA! We loved every moment, windy + not. The food was out of this world I will be heading home to try my hand at these dishes , though I know I will pull in comparison. See you soon, it will be impossible to keep us away.

Dear Alex & Irene
Thanks so much for making our “honeymoon” so memorable. We will always treasure the memories of the very short 3 weeks that we spent with you.
Irene, keep practicing your “bow line” and your rope throwing.
Alex, you did a great job of keeping me away from the special fishing spots where the 29kg tuna was.
Love,
Jim & Antonietta
Dear Irene and Alex
We all had a great “Idea” back in Melbourne and decided on Greece for our next sailing adventure. What an Idea that was. Sailing for 3 weeks on Idea! Has been as truly wonderful adventure and experience. Thank you both for making it so: We will never forget this holiday.
