<p>Alex, Carla and Joey!<br>For our third adventure with you – you all knocked it out of the park! We are hoping to get in on your retirement tour before you move on – we can’t miss that!<br>Alex – from day one you make us feel welcome and a part of your Bagheera family. Your mastery of the boat and the islands filled our days with awe and wonder! We always had the best anchor spots and left other boats “staring”!! We loved it! We had the best snorkeling and water sports of any boat out here! ♥ Sent from my iPhone Carla – I’m sure we each gained 10 lbs on this trip with your scrumptious food! You cook with love and we taste it in every meal! Your cooking tips will be put to great use back home. I especially enjoyed getting to visit with you on the beach at Soggy Dollar. You all have an amazing story! ♥ Joey!! What a treat it was for us to have you with our charter this time. You brought fun, laughter and a genuine joy for life!
