Our first morning out, we saw about 15 dolphins frolicking around the boat. It was surreal!

Successful completion of ASA 103 back at the Tiki Hut!Ann and Bob,
Thank you so much for an amazing week! Your hospitality made us feel completely at home. From the time we got out of the car at the marina we were attended to with utmost care and concern for our enjoyment on the trip. Both of you were excellent teachers and we learned at a rate that exceeded both our expectations. In a matter of a few days we went from complete novices to confident beginning sailors.
Your commitment to working together to run your business effectively and efficiently is an inspiration to both of us who hope to one day take a similar path in life.
We will gladly sail again with you guys if we are ever back this way. We wish you both the best! Thanks for helping us to add more "cowbell" to our lives! ;o)
Shannon and Mike
P.S. Food was awesome!
