Hi Damir;
I wanted to say thanks again for a great trip. I enjoyed it immensely.
What a great country, I appreciate it even more now that we are
back..and we can see such contrasts between the western model and the
simpler nicer more basic approach to living that Croatia offers. We
got up into Sibenik, Skradin and Krka falls, it was great to see the
countryside away from the seacoast, to see how it all fits together.
I really enjoyed the food on-board, please tell Damir thanks for his
efforts. I figured he’s off somewhere working elsewhere in the
of-season by now, but when you see him please tell him we loved his
cooking!
Here’s a few of the many pictures I took..I thought I’d share them
with you. Hope you’re doing well..if your ever in Florida say hi, I
will take you sailing! Jonathan H.

Hi Damir
Just wanted to thank you again for a great holiday a few weeks ago and
check you were still sane after having the Italians for
2 weeks.
We had a great time and would recommend your boat to anybody. Let us
know if you ever need us to talk to any prospective clients about our
brilliant time on the Patronice.
Hope the weather is better there than it is here.
Many thanks

Hi Damir,
The Marsden family are now back at home. Emma started work today for the
summer with Unilever and Fiona sets off for India tomorrow. She is busy
packing!
I just wanted to say thank-you again for a fantastic week. Croatia is
beautiful and we certainly had great weather. We will definitely return!
It was only a shame that we couldn't sail more but we can't control the
wind (or lack of it). We are very grateful to you and thecrew for looking after us so well and for putting up with all those
ugly girls!!!
The lady who sat next to me on the flight home was very interested incoming on Patronice, so I gave her one of your cards. It seems I
may be a good salesman so perhaps you should send me 5,500 pairs of shoes!
(Not really thanks!). I think you may have more English people in thefuture on your lovely boat.
I hope your week with the Spanish group is going well. I believe they will
all be happy after winning the World Cup. Perhaps the Italian group will
be less so because they were even worse than England!
Well, say hi to Damir and chef from us and very best wishes to you.
Thanks again,
Richard

Dear Damir,
It was a wonderful week we had with you on the Patronice, and I know for
sure we'd all do it again any time if we had the chance.
I presume you saw us waving from the ferry that last morning - I know it
wasn't only I who had to wipe away a small tear from my eyeswhen we saw OUR little Patronice - and with the fine people we'd
learned to know over the last week on her - down there, cruising alongat 6 knots on her 2 day journey back to home port.
Anyway, thanks again for making it a nice, relaxing and most
interesting holiday. Say hello to Damir and Renato.
We all wish you happy sailing and hope to perhaps see you again some time
in the future.
All the best !
Per
on behalf of the rest of the caramba group

Quote from Judy: “That was the best holiday I have ever had!” How about that!
We are spreading the word so you had better stay in business.

Dear Damir
Thank you very much for sending us the link to our pictures, they really are
wonderful.
I am thinking that you did not realize that in my previous e-mail (below),
we were informing you about our interest to repeat this year again, and we were
asking you a proposal
in order to start making the reservations. In this occasion and if it is
possible for you, dealing directly with you.
It was nice seen the pictures and again remembering the cruise.
Sincerely

our harts start beating and influence bad weather over here in Belgium

Christine's health is better now and hopefully we'll be again your guests some
time in near future.
