Our Friends on the Morning Star, ''What's a Gulet?''
Thank you for…
For showing us that you can dock your Gulet in a space that is half the size of your boat.
Showing us you can own your ''own'' cove even when there are a bunch of people in it.
For letting Jeff think he was helping when docking the boat.
For giving us new meaning to a light lunch.
For letting a couple of cougars kiss Ante.
For providing outstanding bacon and eggs everyday.
For letting us pretend the sea air shrank our clothes not the abundance of excellent food.
For allowing us to have a shoe cabin, and man cave.
For wonderful conversation and outstanding recommendations on the itinerary!
For providing a trip of a lifetime in your country!

Angie Wedoff, Jane, Jeff Brzozowski (Džek Hand)
P.S.
There are good ships,
There are wood ships,
There are ships that sail/upon the sea.
But the best ships are friendships.
Forever may they be!
September 10, 2022-September 17, 2022
Tomas, Ivan, Ante, and Mansour (Sp?)
You gave us the most wonderfully relaxing vacation we could ever hope for! We loved every minute of it, even the brief, unsuccessful Sailing. It is going to be very hard to go home and not get to just hang out downstairs with all of you, doing trivia and eating chocolate.
Come to California and look us up!
With so much gratitude – Claire&Rob
