August 2010 Grenadines
Hard to articulate our thoughts about this trip, the feelings, perceptions, emotions! If I try, I still can’t thank our captain enough for those memorable hours in an unforgettable country. We applaud and thank him for his professionalism, efficiency, calmness, his assurance, and his continuous friendship. We wish him calm seas and fair winds and, of course, always and everywhere with Baraka! Very fondly, Odile and Jean
