Long time, no post... sorry

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. Our wifi setup died the last day we were in St. Thomas. It has been sent in for warranty repair and yesterday we recieved another unit that we have bought in the meantime.

Unfortunately, there are no WiFi hotspots for Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten where we are anchored. I don't understand what nobody offers this service as lots of boats anchor outside of the lagoon.

So, right now we are using WiFi at internet cafes, MacDonald's, Bubble Tea, The Mailbox... so we are not posting as often. We plan to go to Marigot on the French side of St. Martin soon and we should be able to get WiFi there.

Anyway, we are still here so please visit our website:
http://www.paradiseconnections.com

and send us an email if you would like our assistance on a yacht charter on a barge vacation on the European canals:

MAROLANGA - Additional charter comments

We posted comments from the Wilcox family charter a few days ago (see the post a bit down the page) but then we asked Steve for comments about Sasha the cat, and also about his kids...
"I meant to mention Sasha in the other message. He was remarkably well behaved and a delight to have as a member of the crew! The boys were never bored and were worn out by bedtime! Sleeping on the trampolines under the stars was the best! Attached are a few pics!
- Steve"

Sasha is a super ship's cat!

Catamaran MAROLANGA - Guests Charter Comments

This morning we received a lovely email from a family we had aboard the catamaran MAROLANGA this summer (July 2008). Here are their charter comments:

Hi Guys!

Hard to believe it has been 2 months since our trip! We are all still telling friends what a total blast it was. A totally unique vacation experience! The boat was comfortable and Gus and Marcella were wonderful hosts. Very accommodating in every respect. They made every day fun and exciting and the food was awesome. They showed us all the best places and we went where the bigger ship can't, exactly what we wanted.

With their extensive experience in the area, they knew all the best spots. Gus is a very competent and experienced sailor and he made us feel very safe the entire time. Every day was tailored to just what we wanted to do. There was plenty to do for all of us, even if we wanted to do nothing!

We would, without reservation, highly recommend the boat and crew to anyone considering this trip. There are lots of choices available to be sure but we can't imagine having a better time! Gus and Marcella are totally committed to their guests having a great time and they deliver. We plan on doing this again in the coming years.

Thanks for all your help in planning the trip too. The whole process was easy. All we had to do was show up at the marina and the rest was taken care of. How great!

Thanks for everything!

Steve, Barat, Matthew and Mark

Charter catamaran Marolanga with ParadiseConnections.comMAROLANGA is one of our favorite charter yachts. Gus & Marcella are such a warm couple. They make you feel very comfortable and welcome aboard their home, Marolanga. And Sasha, the ship's Persian cat, completes the family feeling.

Unfortunately (for you!) Marolanga is already booked for Thanksgiving 2008, and this Christmas and New Years, too. They are currently open for Easter and possibly for your kids' spring break depending on dates. Contact us for availability!
