Marianne and Kristian – Thank you so much for the wonderful
week on Breanker. We all had a great time – The beautiful
little private harbors, the sea turtle sightings, the adventurous
dives, the delicious and beautiful meals, the perfect weather,
the beautiful boat, the laughs at dinner time, the tequila
shots….And on and on and on!
We so appreciate you making us so comfortable in your floating
home… and the lengths you went to to accommodate us
(picky eaters, air tanks, football game!)…
We thank you and hope to see you on Cape Cod. Our door is
always open, the welcome mat out!
The Barnicle family, Ted, Lou, Erin and Ryan

Dear Marianne and Kristian.
It is with mixed emotions that we leave, sadness at ending
our week with you and delight at the weeks adventures. I loved
the beautiful isolated bays, the long ocean trip, the sail
on Saturday, the exploring for dive sites and the little community
that developed onboard as our three families developed our
rhythm.
Thank you for your hospitality in your beautiful floating
home. Your flexibility, experience, knowledge and kindness
created a memorable ambience as we roamed the seas. Thanks
also for arranging such unusually beautiful weather and creating
such delicious fare for our idiosyncratic palates.
With respect and admiration, Ginny and Nate Sigel.

To Kristian and Marianne.
Where do we start to thank you for the most wonderful week
in your floating home. From the minute we met Kristian in
Tortola we all knew we were going to have a special week.
You have both exceeded our expectations by so very much. We
feel that we have known you far longer than a week. You have
anticipated and catered to out every need before we even thought
of it!
The meals have been fantastic – one better than the
one before. Kristian has taken us to the most beautiful places
to snorkel and in and out of all the different bays. Thank
you so very much for your wonderful hospitality and your gentle
kind care of us this week.
It has been so wonderful to be with our family and dear friends
for a week on your beautiful boat. It is not so often that
we get the change to be so close to our girls for a week.
We feel like we made two new friends that we will think of
often. We WILL be back again!!
Please call us anytime you are coming to the States. We would
love to reciprocate your hospitality.
Love, Nancy, Bill, Jordan and Mary Mitchell Fuqua
Dear Marianne and Kristian.
We have had the most wonderful relaxing week with you. I can’t
wait to come back. Your gracious hospitality has won our family’s
heart. You both are such gentle genius people. I will always
have fond memories of this trip with you, especially since
you stole my son, Arthur’s heart with your fabulous
meals and your caring spirit. Kristian, you are such a gentle
person. It was a pleasure spending the week with you and see
how you calmly handled your boat and every situation we encountered.
Many thanks for the introducing our family to the BVI way
of life! We’ll be back!
Fondly, Arthur, Carlton Arthur and Dudley
Come see us in the mountains! P.S. You are a fabulous cook

This has been a wonderful experience for our family. We had
a goal of bringing this family together and having a meaningful
commitment ceremony.
All was achieved but at a level that far exceeded our expectations.
You two were a big part of making that happen. We will always
remember this special trip and its moment in time makes a
milestone for us.
Thanks for your hospitality, patience and taking a firmer
hand with the kids – it turned our vacation around!
All the best David
Kristian and Marianne.
We have so much to thank you for! You provided a wonderful
backdrop of hospitality and willingness to share your home
on the water with all the Barb Sebastian Family!
With much love and many thanks for helping us celebrate the
unification of our families. Nancy
Wow what a week! Thank you both so much for an awesome lifetime
experience! Thank you for putting up with all of us kids,
since I know we can be difficult.
The food was awesome, by the way the others the others are
just a little inexperienced with eating quality food!
I will always remember this vacation and thank you both for
making it such a memorial vacation.
Sincerely Benn
This was probably the best vacation I’ve ever had,
and we owe so much of it to you guys. You gave us everything
we could have possibly needed.
I know we can be a difficult group sometimes and you were
so patient with us! Thank you for everything! I will never
forget this trip or you guys!
Kim
Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience. This has
been so much fun to be part of your life on the water. I know
we were a hard family to put up with and I thank you for your
patience. Again thank you so much for everything.
Chase
Thanks for this amazing trip. This was so much fun. Without
you guys this trip would have been nothing.
Thanks again Reed
This trip was absolutely wonderful! You guys did so much
for us this past week and I hope you know how grateful we
all are! You made this trip very memorable and made everything
run so smoothly! Thank you so much for making this week an
amazing experience.
Sam
Dear Marianne and Kristian.
I came into this vacation very stressed and over worked. I
needed something to take everything off my mind and this just
did it for me. The combination of the Breanker and you two
are probably the three biggest stress relievers even with
the rest of my family onboard. This vacation I will always
remember. Thank you very much!
Sincerely Beau
Marianne and Kristian.
This was probably the best vacation I’ve ever had; it
exceeded all of my expectations! You provided us with so many
opportunities, and we were so fortunate to have you guide
us around the islands. I’m so glad I got to know you
both, you’re so nice and helpful, and really helped
me to feel like I was at home.
Everything was perfect and so much more than I imagined! Thank
you so much for everything! I’ll miss you!

When we look back upon this week the smiles we wont contain.
For in this short span of time our hearts will remain.
We look forward with a faithful heart that our paths will
cross again.
But if our fate takes a different path, please know you are
a friend.
We will remember glorious beaches with sand as white as snow
The Caribbean waters changing colors atop of every wave we
roll.
We’ll remember the sounds of sails shifting in the wind
And the sweet Danish accent of our captain and his kin.
We will reflect upon the majesty and the beauty in His name,
The coral, the sand, the mountain strands and the creatures
below,
But none of these will we cherish as much as the people we’ve
come to know!
Thank you both for the most incredible vacation we’ve
ever had.
Fondly Sam, Shawn and Alison Dell
