THE FAMOUS PHILLIPS FAMILY
For my last charter of the season (Duncan is going out to have fun next ), and the crews' last outing as a team, we hoped for a good trip. We ended up with one of the best trips in years. Steve brought his family on to the boat for the first time, having been a regular with his Dad on Lammer Law. We played, dived and had so much fun my ribs are still hurting. Oh - Cuan got a new 44 foot tender, yep we got another cat and went out in tandem (I think that made me a Commodore, for a charter). We sailed out to Anegada, and plonked Cuan on the beach at Pomato Point, just like I saw my boss do once! We had another Rhone story from Jonny, yes the monkey was in there again! We dived all over the BVI, ten day trips really are a good idea. And on my late to bed I committed murder so well and so many times that I nearly ended up being the only one left, The Murderer Gets To Murder, AGAIN! Awesome trip, thankyou so so much Steve and Susan and all...........

THE HOWSER FAMILY
Another family charter for Cuan, I really am liking all this whole boat thing, no time wasted getting to know each other and all that. Different theme than usual for Cuan too, no diving, lots and lots of fishing, including three tuna on one sail! Lots and lots of beach time, play time, kids time and fun too, and, one trip up the mast to attach a wayward sheet. Fred set us, the crew, a huge challenge at the start of the week to guess all the adults histories, Jonnie cheated and won the prize. We returned the challenge and few got many of our previous jobs and experiences right but it was a very interesting way to think about each other. Great challenge Fred. The black patches in the water are not coral, believe it or not they are bait fish, hence all the Tarpon.
Unusual view, Muskmellon from the main mast.

This was a Cuan Law headboat trip of old, there were more water fights, throwing over boards and food "incidents" than I can remember for a very long time as well as lots of great diving, sailing and socialising. How often does a Commodore get to bio-bucket a guest? When his dad says I can! Lee and Danielle were treated to a candle lit romantic dinner for two, and how we all loved the happy ending. New dive site of the week? MV Vagabond, one of the BVI's latest shipwrecks and now an unintentional dive site. It really is amazing how fast fish and coral embrace the things we throw at them, shopping trolleys, cinder blocks, AC units, oh and ships! Sean, why so long since the last time? Hope we see you all again sooner next time, 12 years really is too long a break........ Why do the days seem so short?

THE ANDERSON FAMILY
Cuan Law celebrated her 21st and we could not have picked a nicer, fun filled family to celebrate it with. Brook Anderson is the best tightrope walker ever, mind you with 5 stern-to set ups everybody had plenty of practice. Even though the Orlando Magic lost, the disappointment didn't last long, we all found some treasure on the Salt Island treasure hunt, messages in bottles, treasure maps, clues, chocolates and a witch, remember if you see an old witch just hit her with a big stick! Rick had a birthday too but really the whole week was a long celebration. How many bathing suits did Cody own? Did she get through them all on the last day? Cheers to the Andersons, we really hope to see you again.
