Dear Captain Sam and Chef Carrie,
It's a sad day, but depart we must. I had such a wonderful time. It was all that I had hoped it would be when we planned the trip. The food and drink were great, sailing for the 1st time was amazing. Glad I got this d"bucket list" in and hope to travel with you again sometime. One of the best parts of the trip was getting to know you two wonderful people (and a little about your lives and family). Thanks so much for a lovely week.

Sam and Carrie,
What an incredible week! And to think- we almost didn't get to come at all. Thank you guys so much for giving us your week off and sharing La Speranza with us after our other boat was cancelled due to mechanical problems. We honestly feel like hanging out with y'all was an "upgrade." We enjoyed getting to know you and hear your story, and our whole family enjoyed being with you. Carrie- thank you for your hospitable spirit and wonderful meals. Sam- thanks for your energy and fun. This trip was just what our family needed during a really busy season of life. Lots of relaxation and quality time, punctuated by bouts of activity- snorkeling, hiking, shopping- with some great meals in between. It truly has been a blessing, a time of refreshing for us. Thank you. Y'all please holler at us if you're ever in Mississippi!

Sam your dollar for your gopro and snorkel expertise is coming in the mail. it was fun sitting around at night chatting and playing euchre. Thank you for sharing your boat life with us.

Sam and Carrie,
Thank you so much for an incredible trip! We all had the best time and could not be more grateful for Carrie's wonderful cooking (sushi, potato pancakes and birthday cake were some of my favorites) and for Sam's snorkeling adventures, with cuttlefish, eels, sea turtles and stingrays. This was everyone's favorite vacation, in large part due to your hospitality. We wish you windy adventures and warm water in the coming year. Thank you so much for the wonderful week!

Sam and Carrie-
Thank you for making our 20th anniversary so unique and special. We've been talking about this trip for a long time and it lived up to every expectation -and more- than we ever had. From the gorgeous sunsets to amazing snorkeling to the amazing meals by Carrie and the sometimes funny jokes by Sam (?) we were fully engaged, entertained and excited to wake up each day for our next adventure. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. That said, we want to come back :) Hopefully someday Siena and Riley will read this entry with us and we can reminisce together while celebrating new experiences together.
Thank you and See you Soon!!

Carrie and Sam,
Thank you for providing an idyllic, restful paradise for us to celebrate our friend's birthday in luxurious fashion. We are grateful for your delicious meals, snacks, cocktails and desserts. Snorkeling was epic, though the day at Anegada was the highlight for all. We are leaving with our favorite memories and new friendships with you both. Safe travels throughout your days, and cheers to more wonderful voyages throughout your life.
With love,
Missy, Rona, Jen, Duane, Joelle, Shorty

Captain Sam and Carrie - We looked forward to this vacation for six months and all our expectations were blown away! We had sooo much fun snorkeling, visiting the beaches, and eating all the yummy food. Adrian and Dylan experienced so many firsts...from swimming with the turtles to kissing their first salt-water fish. Thank you so much for working around our schedule and helping us track down our friends in the BVI. Your patience with the kids went beyond...the harmonica will definitely make it to this year's Christmas lists! Really hope we get to repeat this in the not-to-distant future!
Big round of applause!

Sam and Carrie (Varn...we've adopted you!)
Trip of a lifetime! My kids have all said that this trip has moved into the #1 spot on the Family Favorites. We can't thank you enough for being flexible with us to accommodate us (5 different individuals) in making this trip special. We checked off all our "to-do" items and listened to your wisdom and added a few more. Food was awesome, snorkeling was incredible, fun times around the table was a blast! You both are excellent at doing your God-given gifts to serve others and I hope you are blessed for doing so. My only suggestions for your future in this industry is to improve your attempts at humor (Sam) and never fly a Gamecock flag while sailing. Go Tigers! Hope our paths cross again in SC!
In Christ,
The Varns

Sam and Carrie,
Thank you for all your hard work to provide us an exceptional trip and experiences we could not have had on our own. We will have dozens of good memories to last a lifetime! Our kids had a blast being pulled on the tube and snorkeling for creatures. We loved exploring the shipwreck, baths, learning to sail and enjoyed all of Carrie's amazing meals, to name a few. Thank you for your unending patience and hospitality. Best wishes for the rest of your charter season and a restful week off with your kids.
Lots of love
- Mike, Kim, Oliver, Roman and Gemma
