"THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Carolyn and Dave, We
appreciate the time you took from your day to take us
sailing. We all thought it was extremely fun and would
like to do it again sometime. Everyone learned
something while sailing from both of you. You were
very entertaining and kept us from being bored. We
would also like to thank you for letting us spend the
night on your sailboat. IT WAS FUN SPENDING TIME
AND MEETING YOU!!! THANKS AGAIN."
Stephanie Jackson, Alicia Braxton, Jessi Start, and
Erin Greezer, Girl Scout Troop 577, Pittsboro, NC
"The Carolina Gale moved majestically over the water and I was on it. We went sailing on Uncle Dave and Aunt
Carolyn's 52 foot sailboat in the ocean. It was the most wonderful thing I have ever done in my life. I loved how she
would glide through the water like a shark going after its prey. It was breathtaking to see the sails fill with wind and push
the boat. I would love to sail on that boat forever."
Eli Steeb (age 12), Woodinville, WA
What a great ride in 2-4' seas. The Carolina Gale performed unbelievably. We were splitting the waves at 8.5 knots
and taking spray over the bow. I made a video production (my first) of my pictures of the sail and put them on You
Tube. You can see it by clicking on the following link: You Tube Video of my Sailing Adventure
Pate Bryan, Monroe, MI
"Thank you for taking such good care of our wedding guests at Bald Head. Everyone loved the boat and the experience
on the water. Your good seamanship helped make great memories for us all."
Gregg Sandreuter, Cary, NC
"We thoroughly enjoyed our sail along Oak Island and the pleasure of your company aboard the Carolina Gale. Our sail
was all that we hoped it would be -- both entertaining and interesting. Our charter with you was indeed a pleasure that
we would heartily recommend to anyone interested in a true sailing experience."
Jeni Hile, Lori Sorth, Dan Sorth and Dean Francisco, Columbus, OH
"First time ever sailing. Could not ask for a better time. Very good experience. Plan on bringing the whole family back
down. Thanks again."
Roger Messer, Gastonia, NC
"A wonderful experience. I recommend for first timers as well as for experienced sailors."
Bob Dudra, Hancock, NH
"Like a visit with old friends! Outstanding experience!"
Rich Granthan, Richmond, VA
"We had a wonderful time on our sailboat excursion. Dave & Carolyn are very welcoming and accommodating, and the
sailing was fantastic. Very enjoyable!"
Denise and Trey Simendinger, Raleigh, NC
"We had a delightful evening on your cruise. Your accommodations were very pleasant and professional. We look
forward to boarding your vessel in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!"
Beth Stone & Bobby Adair, Fayetteville, NC
"Thank you for the sailing experience last week. Although my three daughters were a little apprehensive, they had a
great time. Dave did a great job making my 15-year-old comfortable and able to enjoy the sail. Additionally, your
restaurant suggestions were perfect. Hope to see you next year."
"How grateful I am for the fantastic experience my children and I had aboard your ship. The ocean, and sailing
especially, have always held a fascination for me, and this has only been reinforced by sailing with you. Thank you."
Jay Williams, Bailey Rose, & Hannah Williams
Morganton, NC
"The pirate theme trip that you put on for my grandsons, Jay and Nate, was outstanding! They are still talking about it. It
is an experience that their papa and dad will always “treasure”. Next time when they are a little older and won’t get
scared, I would like to incorporate a search for buried treasure and a staged pirate attack."
John Semmes, Fayetteville, NC
"Thank you for the pirate trip. We really liked it. I had fun sleeping on the boat and dressing up like pirates. At night we
saw the lighthouse. We loved the pirate stories by Miss Carolyn and I liked the beads in the treasure chest. I liked the
food that Miss Carolyn fixed. We want our papa and daddy to do that again for us. We really had fun!"
Pirate Jay (age 6)
"I liked the part when we slept on the boat and it was rocking and rocking. I liked the part when we stayed up late chitter
chattering with our glow sticks."
