Well, what can I say
that hasn't been said before?!? These two
Caribbean Gems have made the last days of 2011
and the first ones of 2012 the best days of our
lives to date! :-)
Happy days....
remembering how to JUST BE. Relearning to laugh
(especially at each other), these are the
moments that we always recall so fondly with our
favorite gypsy pirates, Curt & Victoria. We love
you both so much (truly)! This year will hold
great things for all four of us, I can feel it.
You inspire us to fully realize how to actualize
and materialize our wildest dreams.
To living dreams in
2012! May we make them our reality this year!

Thanks for showing us an AMAZING time. This will
be hard to beat. Here are my top 10 memories:
your good cooking
swimming with the
turtles
British Flags?
flirty old woman
two words: SHOT
SKI
the Zen master of
the baths
using Tammy's boob
to get free liquor
fighting fish and
the octopus
5 cent Pepsi
late night scotch
Love Todd
I
can honestly say this trip has transformed me
into a new woman! Not only am I ten shades
darker, I am feeling more Zen then ever. Luckily
we made our trip documented in pictures because
friends and family back home are not going to
believe the amazing stories and times that we
shared with you. (Even if they are slightly over
embellished)! Todd & I truly enjoyed your
cooking, company and kind hospitality here on
BILLY JEAN. I am going to tell all my friends
back home that this vacation has BEEN THE BEST
EVER. One hundred times thank you and happy
sailing to you both in the future!
Much
Love Tammy
Hey
Mon,

DEM Mash-up Time with BILLY JEAN. Tanks for

Wow! What more can be said. Our third trip with the Billy Jean
and you, couldn't ask for more. Ok you could, but nobody listens to
me anyway.
Anyhow it was great to be back. Our favorite memories and stories
always seem to be about our experiences with Curt &
Victoria.
This trip will just add more stories and memories. It was a
wonderful way to celebrate 15 years of marriage.
Who knows when the 4th trip will be, but I am already looking
forward to
it. You guys are the best! Doug Baker, Branson MO
From snorkeling
with spotted eagle rays & turtles, feeding remoras and watching the
wonderings of a pair of dolphins,
to dancing,
flashing & mooning at Willy T's. Of course as always good food and
company! Then there is the land excursions to Jimmy Buffams that I
will never forget and my hubby will be eternally grateful for... So
thanks Curt & Victoria for another wonderful time aboard the Billy
Jean
PS I get it. It took me a while,
but I get it.
There were so
many great photos from this group. Click on photos to enlarge.
Thank you both dearly for a
wonderful 7 day adventure aboard the "Billy Jean". Everyday a new
destination. This vacation has totally exceeded our expectations.
Spectacular snorkeling - Turtles + spotted eagle rays!! Partying with
the Pirates of the Caribbean and of course being tattooed at Willy T's.
With Love, Bill & Carol Pitts from VancouvARRRR!!!
Thank you so much for the good
times and the memories:
We were impressed with Victoria's knowledge of the night skies, even
more impressed with her wicked laser!
We were very grateful for the wisdom: If you run into a blind
fisherman, give him a beer and everything will be O.K.
You made us feel right at home with evening "Teckie Talks"
and gadget discussions.
You showed us how to party "island style" at Willy T's
and Michael Beans. ARRR!
You set the scene for perfect evenings with tasty Happy Hour
drinks, amazing meals + a mighty cigar with Ed.
You broadened our music repertoire with Curt's eclectic iPod
playlist.
Thanks for bringing back that
sense of adventure I knew when I was a child. This was truly
special! Thanks for the memories! Cigars, drinks, tasty food,
incredible music and lots of laughs
Ed & Eileen
Thank you so much for these
memories, your friendship and bringing out the pirate in me. Love

Thank you so much for
an unforgettable "Honeymoon"! This has
definitely been a week full of memories for both
of us ~ a trip that we'll reminisce about
forever. Some of our favorite times:
Driving on the "wrong" (left) side of the road.
The food & drinks ~ amazing! (I'm going to
e-mail you for recipes!)
SNORKELING in the beautiful, crystal clear water
~ a first for Deanne.
Barracuda
that circled the boat, and feeding the remora.
And many more.........
But most
importantly, you've been the best hosts in the
world! Thanks so much for your gracious
hospitality, the camaraderie, and wonderful
conversations. We hope you will visit us at Lake
Oconee in GA, and we'd love to bring the bass
boat to FL!

We had a great week aboard Billy Jean. We especially loved the
morning snorkeling! Exploring Virgin Gorda on a scooter was great. I
actually survived Walt's scooter driving ~ it was a little scary at
times :-). Thanks for all the advice on where to go and what t see
on the islands. Thanks again for a wonderful week. Walt and Nikki

Well, what can we say? Three times a charm! Barney and I work very hard through out the year and our travel schedules have become more hectic then ever! But at the end of our day, when we put our heads down on our pillows ~ one thing that keeps us motivated: to step on the Billy Jean and set sail off to some beautiful island with a great couple we now call "Friends". Thank you for bringing us
peace and calm back to our world. All the sleep that we have aver lost (since the day we were born) we caught up with our "shut eye" on the Billy Jean. It will be said to leave you both as we are sad to go home. You guys have re-energized our batteries! Now we will be fully equipped for Barney to continue his success with his Carbon 6 project and for me to continue to help American look younger. Looking forward to seeing your happy smiles in October 2008. Love, xox

Curt and
Victoria were generous enough to share this with us ...
click on photos to enlarge
A recipe for a superb vacation
Start by removing from -45º icebox and quickly
warm by 70ºc.
Allow adequate time to settle with a marinade of
wine.
Begin by briefly mixing and tossing then while
things relax, slow the process. Sit overnight to
allow a rest of still and quiet.
Start adding the following
ingredients in no particular order:
●
incredible snorkeling
●
stargazing topped with a lunar eclipse
●
Virgin Gorda scooting
●
bird
and fish watching
●
a
variety of motor and sail
●
wonderful meals
●
awesome meals
●
The
secret is just the right mixture of sun, cloud,
wind, rain and calm.
Throughout freely add stimulating conversations
and laughter to taste with generous amounts of
wine and other liquids.
The
special seasoning is the love and partnership
that Curt and Victoria share.
The
Billy Jean is the perfect vessel for preparing
this banquet. Thanks for the wonderful 10 days.

sand and sailing for a week in paradise.
Thank you Victoria and Curt for making my 1st
sail trip a success and my husband will be
more than happy to come back sailing now that I
know the wonderful world of sailing!
We look forward to gazing at the Caribbean stars
but for now, we will be closer to the north
star.
Have a great holiday. Thank you for the great
vacation.

If I had to title the
trip, it would be... "FUN ~ FUN ~ FUN!"
As a "Wannabe" Sailor
I've been plotting a sailing trip for years and this was the
perfect execution of it. Modern life is way too fast and
spending time at 2 or 3 knots puts things back in perspective.
I really loved spending
a week in a swimsuit, or less, long sessions of swimming and
snorkeling only interrupted by a wonderful meal, or a nap. What
a rough life!
The sea is a cauldron of
life and the simple act of swimming through it and witnessing
its beauty has been an experience I will never forget.
I want to come back
already! You guys were really great with improvising a "Plan B"
and I'm so happy Judy had a good time. Watching her enjoy herself
was fun too.
I am not ready to move
back to dry land, but its great knowing how easily we can do
this again. We share a love for things of simple beauty and
don't know any better way to do it then from a sailboat. Judy
and I are going to have so many nice things to relate to our
friends and family, but credit is due to you and the lovely
Billy Jean for making this happen.
We don't want to go
home! We really needed this trip and you did a great job giving
us a "trip of a lifetime", but we are not done! It doesn't have
to be a singular
experience and we are sold on this. This time we spent on Billy
Jean recharged us, rejuvenated us, and we're ready to resume our
"landlubber" life knowing that we're only a few hours away from
paradise.

A Sailing Adventure of a
Lifetime...
...with a couple that we
became very comfortable with, passing the time,
laughing, lounging and sharing stories. An easy
passage, smooth sailing ~ nice job Curt, sailing
around the rain. You guys are the best! Thanks
for taking us up on the exchange. We had the
time of our life's! We rekindled our love and
friendship and are ready for another 10 years of
marriage!
High Lights
Best weather, warm
water with fabulous snorkeling
spotted eagle rays

You always will have a place to stay in Hawaii,

Remember V & C, to save
time, always carry a spoon & tie "IT" on a
string! LOL ! If you have a sniffling problem ~
remember a NOSE HAIR will take care of it.
2nd time on Billy

March 2 to 12, 2007
Thank you so very much for celebrating our
13th Wedding Anniversary with us.
Words cannot express the joy and peace that have fallen upon us
after spending ten days in Paradise
and also on thee Billy Jean with
the Love Birds of all love birds!
Barney and I arrived on board march 2 emotionally and physically
exhausted
from the hustle and bustle from working
24/7. The gift you both blessed us
with gave us peace of mind, body and soul. -Also the gift of
your friendship is the most meaningful to us both.
we look forward to taking another journey
with you guys in 2008. Will it be July or September 2008??? We
will see...
Thank you for sharing your hearts and home with us. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you! may all the love & joy you share with
others come back to you today and always.
With Love & Light, the Purple Dinosaur, Barney...

Thank you
so much for helping me make the waning days of "Greg's 30's" so
fun! (Yes ~ I know he will get so much wiser now)
You are both so charming & lovely, that
the charter life seems excellent ~ until I realize how hard you
work!!! There are many memories we could thank you for, but the
shining examples follow...
~showing me how to
prepare veggies so they actually be eaten, including "broccoli a
la dinghy"
~ my favorite
dessert ~ German Chocolate, YUMMY
~ taking us
to so many beautiful places that will be the back drop for the
2007 swim suit calendar. (Clearly I will never run out of "oh
Wow!"
~
teaching me the slick bikini top trick (front tie way cooler)
and inspiring me to wear Curt's two favorite colors (and
apparently Greg's as well) ~ short and tight
~ putting the
kayak in so many time because we love kayaking!
(especially to small private islands, That's a different memory
card!!! he he he)
~opening the
door to Old San Juan and El Yunque. Truly an inspiring and
lovely experience. Thank you for sharing your beloved place.
~ determining (with much
trial & error) the exact number of glasses of wine (red Only) to
help me sleep on the boat and be un-hyper........-ish!

have been better.
Thank you for making our 20th so special.
Thia was a great experience for the two of us. Loved the BVI's

life. Your dinners and life lessons were much appreciated and
enjoyed
Again thank you for

Virgin Islands with you; hopefully you'll make room for 3!

Dear Curt & Victoria,
We are so grateful to your mother Victoria, for being so
flexible that our vacation became possible. We were so in need
of some relaxation and we certainly got it. You were such
gracious host anticipating all of our needs. I've never been fed
so well and with such enthusiasm. Thank you for showing us your
world and making us feel welcomed and well cared for. Thank you
especially for enduring Bill and his please for you to open a
restaurant. Really though, the food is that good. Until we see
you again, and we will, wishing you all the best in the years to
come. Janet & Bill
P.S. Parmesan shrimp, fried
peppers, filet mignon, sesame peppered broccoli, smoked peas,
banana pancakes. yum yum :-) We look forward to seeing you

The
Baker Experience "Part II"
March 31st to April 7th, 2006
Thanks again for
another wonderful vacation! The Spanish Virgin Islands are
great. The whole trip was perfect. The snorkeling was the
best yet especially around "Diks Bay." The kayaking was good
at Porto Manglar. The sea cucumbers and starfish were
bountiful.
Next time we might
bring the kids...... maybe not. Sailing together with you on
the Billy Jean is one of the best things we've ever done as
a married couple.
Thanks for the
wonderful trip, food, education and conversation.

Victoria and Curt,
Thank
you, Thank You, Thank you for a fantastic week
on your beautiful boat. We have been to some
great places together - maybe the aptly named
"peace and love" at Little Harbor was our
personal favorite but all the islands were worth
a week never mind the odd day that we managed.
On board the way you looked after us could not
have been better if we had been family. The
cuisine out shone any of the restaurants we
visited and I woke up every morning with eager
anticipation of the days creation. We hope that
your charter business goes from strength to
strength and we will be sure to pass your
details on to anyone heading for the Caribbean.
Take care of each other and hope to see you
again XXXXX Mike
Dearest
"wei duo li ya" (full of beauty and grace) and "ke

Thank
you so much for a wonderful week together. You
have made my first sailing holiday very
memberable - the islands have been magical, food
spectacular and we learnt alot from sailing with
you - even though i maybe the sleepiest guest
you have had.... so far. We wish you many happy
& successful charters & business ahead & if you
sail or fly to China, we would love to see you
there!!

We
can't thank you enough for making our honeymoon
and first sailing experience out of this world!
We had so much fun, too much sun, the most
delicious food and wonderful company. Thank you
for making us so comfortable and "telling us"
how to relax and what to do & when! We needed
it!! From snorkeling around Watermelon Cay to
livin' it up at Willy T's we enjoyed every
miniute of it! We may not have all our "own"
pictures but our memories will live on in our
minds forever! We will surely meet again, Thank
you so much! With Thanks & love Bethany Roxo
God Bless!
Thank
you for the wonderful trip. From the USVI to the
BVI and back again it was a honeymoon trip we
will never forget. You are great people and I
feel like we became friends and that is how I
would measure a great crew. Besides you
also made us wonderful food, from snorkeling, to
Foxy's, Willy T's, Virgin Gorda Baths, the
bathroom on Peter Island, our first Black Santa
Cause, the ribs on St. John, everything was
better then I could have imagined. Please feel
free to visit us in the Northeast when you come
up next. We must stay in touch. Thanks for a
great honeymoon. Nate Roxo
November 2 to 9, 2005
We can't
thank-you enough for the fabulous week aboard the Billy
Jean. You exceeded our expectations and
we tank you for it. You took us to some of the most
beautiful and breathtaking spots.
We would not have been able to
experience unless we were with you guys. Your experience
and professional were top notch. We felt safe knowing
you both had a passion for sailing.
The meals you served were out of this world!
The planning that went into them
was much appreciated and we enjoyed every one!
Cocktails were great especially the German Chocolate
Cake!
Highlights: The
Baths, The Rock (Spencer), ATV riding on Jost, Mark at
Foxy's (one too many Firewater's), Real Estate Book,
Delicious meals, perfect music, cruise ship sailing into
the sunset!
Thank you again Mark & Melanie Teliska :-) P.S.
Visit us when you come to NY at Gourmeli Cafe
June 25th to July 2nd, 2005
The second time was as good as
the first, ok maybe better ~ except for the mosquito's (that
would have been a great Scrabble word). I can't wait to
come back and try water skiing again. The food was fabulous, the
scrabble fun and the sunsets gorgeous, but the company was the
BEST! Curt & Victoria you are the best and made our vacation a
fabulous experience once again. I can't wait to come back and do
trip number three. And Yes, Richard is still talking, but as we
found out no one is really listening. Thanks for a great trip,
Frankie Laurent
Frankie & Richard
Life is Good!
Were off to see the wizard
He's so cool
hellooooo out there
ok, what did they say, so i can get up????
Skies and knees together ~ arms straight ~ hold on
you do it like this
like what? Oh, yeah right!!!
ok, ok, i got it~ knees and skies together ~ arms straight and hold on!!!!
thats a GREAT BOAT!!!
the cool kids on the block :)
"SCRABBLE"
Yum, they feed us on this trip.
you want me to do what????
"DID YOU SEE THAT!!!" SO COOL!!!!
My hope was that our second
trip on the Billy Jean would be as great as the first. It turned
out even better. The "Spanish Virgin Islands" offered more
secluded beaches, and moorings. The food was even better , since
Frankie let Victoria do seafood. The Red Snapper was fantastic!
We learned many new words, that are only useful in Scrabble. I
now know that an "ecu" is an old French coin, and that a "Ree"
is a female Eurasian sandpiper. I can't wait to use them in my
day to day life. Frankie's water skiing success will be a
cherished memory. We learned the salsa at the Pool Palace in Old
San Juan, and even played some pool. The "El Yuque Rain Forest"
hikes were beautiful. The only problem with the trip was that it
ended to soon. Thanks for Everything, Richard

Our first sailing
experience could not have been more pleasurable! The food,
so gourmet!! Billy Jean ~ she was so comfortable ~ a true
home away from home. You made us feel truly welcomed. The
scenery was spectacular! But ~ or shall I save "However" the
host & hostess were fantastic ~ we now have new friends &
family. The week went to fast. We put ourselves in "Good Hands",
we will have to "sail away" again. We are so glad we met you ~
you will have to come to California!! I will think of you every
time I cook one of your dishes! :) Love Ya,
Alex and Kathleen
April 11-19, 2005
What a
week! Sailing is a great experience. Thanks for the chance to
see the islands from the "other side".
We
certainly won't forget Victoria catching the fish (+ Curt

nothing can compare to the barracuda encounter.
You
already know how much we loved the food. Unfortunately ~ I can't tell you which meal was the
best ~ because it was all fantastic. Thanks for a lovely week
aboard "Billy Jean".

Dear Victoria
~ What a fabulous week! You took Gill from a cranky, old fat guy
to a sweet naked guy who will have had prints on his butt for
life! What can we say ~ it was just an excellent trip we will
never forget ~ from the snorkeling to the 3 excellent meals we
had every day ~ from Virgin Gorda to Trellis Bay to Virgin Gorda
to Trellis Bay.
Thank you so much for showing us the beautiful BVI's. You told
us you wouldn't steer us wrong & you didn't! You are the best
captain & chef ever! Thanks for sharing some of your "secret"
recipes... Thanks for showing us the Southern Cross and spending
the time pointing out other stars. It was a trip we will never
forget... Sandy was such a sweet heart... best crew in the
islands I'm sure! I hope we didn't corrupt her too much... being
the rude crude dirty stay outs we are! Thank you for a fantastic
time... so F***in what Victoria!!
Love you Gill & Lori Dutson, The Utah Jacks
Victoria, thanks
for a wonderful time! I can see why people pack it up to live
here. The meals, the snorkeling, sailing was all wonderful. I
would highly recommend this to anyone! Thanks for putting up
with us. "It was a wonderful cruise". Love you, Kelly Hensen
Thanks so much it was fabulous! You were both great to be
around. Can't wait to be back. Love Pattie Pilgrim

Thank you so
very much for a wonderful week on Billy Jean. You are both
considerate host, fabulous cooks, great captains and warm fun
loving people!! Every meal was a true adventure in itself and I
really don't ever want to cook again! I am sure you ordered the
perfect weather and calm seas just for us, in the same manner as
everything else you did. The snorkeling and diving were fabulous
and we appreciate you being so blasé' about the "white butt
turtles". I would love to go shopping with Victoria as she has
the most fabulous outfits! Thank you for sharing your lives with
us. Wishing you the best of luck with you business, good health
and lots of love!!!! Marlene
Thank you both
for a memorable week! Curt's seemingly effortless seamanship
made the yachting experience great, and Victoria's statuesque
appearance was breathtaking. Thank you Curt for assisting me in
my purchase of a waterproof case for my digital camera. The
pictures attest to this. To both of you, your cooking was
absolutely fantastic, we loved every meal. Sharing stories about
our lives made this a friendship as much as a charter. Thanks
for everything. Terry

Thank you!
Thank You! Thank You! You both treated us like royal
family from the minute we arrived. Drinks in our hands,
munchies on the table always, causing a smile on our
faces. We felt like we were #1 instead of #2001. The
food was delicious, cooked with care and flare. Thank
you for warmly welcoming us into your exclusive family
of cruisers. Ted & Claudia Bowler from San Diego,
California
I don't think the Legacy could
even come close to the "Billy Jean". Thank you for
opening our eyes to the wonders and beauty of the
Caribbean Islands & all the great hospitality & food! :)
:) It was just a taste and we can't wait to get more of
Paradise! With much appreciation & friendship Ted &
Claudia

Thank you for
an incredible sailing adventures where words aren't enough. The
Rain Forest was beautiful, the dining was to die for, the
scenery was awe-inspiring and the company was even better!!! We
will take back with us many great memories, and I take such
great pride in how well I did my
job during the "Chinese Fire Drill/Dinghy Rescue". Don't forget
the jelly fish patrol, great political discussions, fine cigars,
booby flashings and Chip's never ending "Stupidica". Absolutely
the time of our lives with our new friends. Can't wait to come
back for another sailing adventure with "ya'll"!!
Much Love Chip and Michelle
We had a
wonderful time, soon we will be in rehab, reminiscing all those
Fantastic "Happy Hours - Happy Endings". Every day was and
adventure we will never forget. The food was incredible. I
especially liked Curt's coffee selection for the day. And will
remember the school of jellyfish, How beautiful! and scrambling
to get back to the boat. Old San Juan bought back memories from
years past. We will never forget you both or this trip.
We'll be back. Lots of Love,
Maureen and Bob

"Oh what a
Year!!!"
You
guys created a terrific vacation / 2nd Honeymoon for us. The
BVI's are no adventure compared to the "Spanish Virgin
Islands". Go Immediately! Culebra was awesome,
Flamenco Beach was the best beach I've ever seen
From there Curt and Victoria took us ~~ Cayo de Luis, Palominos,
etc ~~ into the rain forest, seamlessly, great guides, great
friends. Kevin Hawley,
Lima Ohio <--- Land of Ice Storms...

Whew! I was afraid Kevin would leave no room! You know how long
winded people of his avocation can be... Enjoyed the stimulating
conversations (political discussions), fantastic food, new and
interresting to see... Great adventures and great friendships to
relive over and over again... fun tid bits... the rain and rain
again; "short" walk to the beach; blue Mitsubishi SUV's; San
Juan policeman; diamonds are a girls best friend; country music;
nightly cigars; 12 foot waves and endless swells; no land in
sight! Could go on forever. Thanks for the memories; take care
of your selves and Bis Morgen! Aimee
