Thank you for a “WHALE” of an experience (Jacques Cousteau would envy you). I could write a book to describe what a wonderful experience we had in just two days with you & Lisa.

Lisa’s culinary arts exceed some of the best restaurants in the world. Merci beau coupé.

Hi Lisa & Raffi!
I just needed to let you know that since Sat. evening when I was putting Eva to bed she has been telling me that she would like to go on your boat EVERYDAY OF HER LIFE! When I told her that she didn’t have enough money in he piggy bank for that; she said, filled with passion, that she wants 1,000,000 pennies!

Thanks for a great ride that my girls will remember with happiness for years to come! We will come back when Martin will understand what’s really going on…without a pacifier to give to the “fishys”! thanks.
