After a hard day on the water, sipping that first mouthful of beer and out comes the Disco Visitor's Book, what better moment to sum up their Disco experience...

(Les voiles de St. Tropez) were a great and unforgettable experience. It was a great pleasure to sail last week on DISCO INFERNO.Thank you for accepting an old foreign crew from the Swiss mountains!

(BVI Spring Regatta) - You are a warm and caring couple. It has been an honour knowing you - you made our vacation a truly amazing experience... Remember me as the top half of "the Trueger double decker" at Willie T's! Be well, stay happy & Happy Sailing

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Thanx for a great week!!! I'm sure the others have said more accolades than I could say!! You are wonderful hosts - thoughtful, caring - and always smiling!!! Of course, you knew the best places to go, hope Barbara and I didn't embarass you at Willie T's... Saty as fresh and gracious as you are!!! Hope some day to sail with you again!!!!

 

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Lizzie and Matt, I can honestly say that I have never sailed with such fun people and enjoyed their company and learned so much from the two of you! Your good spirits and your smiles and your tolerance were so refreshing and made even the extaordinary heat and light air seem like part of the ideal vacation. You have a gorgeous boat, and should take pride in how well you have maintained it. Things we won't forget: Willy Tis at Norman Island; The Bitter End Yacht Club luncheon feast; snorkeling at Virgin Gorda; and serving you the mooing cow steaks at the villa; and; last but not least, of course, the infamous Dr Crash feature in Sailing World.

 

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Thank you for a great week, I have been wanting to sail in the Caribbean for a long time and the two of you made it even greater than I dreamed. I hope we can do this again. If you ever decide to bring the boat to the North East, I would like to be abloe to be half the tour guides you were this week. To great times & lasting friendships! Best of Luck.

(the cute little non-sailor girl with the boys name!)(BVI Spring Regatta) - While I was "this close" to being miserable, I truly enjoyed the experience...although cruising is a bit more my speed! You are a great boss Lizzie. I'll leave my email so we can keep in contact and you can send my paycheck. Huh? What that? No paycheck? Well, in actuality, the time spent with such wonderful, fun, patient people such as yourselves is payment enough! Love & eternal luck to you both - and may all your tomorrows, always follow all your todays! Be well...

 

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Thank you for an awesome week of sailing, Willy is "BONSAI"! Have enjoyed our email correspondance & the trip fulfilled all of our expectations. You do a great job with fun & competition. Sail fast and win BIG!!

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Yes I can write for myself! I had such a great blast cruising on the Inferno - Willy T's, Bitter End, the Baths - what great spots we went to!! Thanks for having a truly amazing charter to cruise, ok ok & to race for those racers!! Hope to see you next year on a different island!

 

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Thank you for your hospitality and for making the past week a truly memorable experience!

You maintain and run an excellent charter company and deserve all the joy and success in the world.

Stay tan, keep smiling and sail fast! Best Wishes

 

(BVI Spring Regatta) - What an amazing adventure this trip has been - the BVI regatta has really kicked my butt! I'm surprised I am even able to write this. I truly appreciate all of your guidance, and most importantly, your patience!! You have both been gracious hosts - I hope we can return that if you visit us in San Francisco. Disco Inferno II is a beautiful boat! Please come visit! xoxo!

(BVI Spring Regatta) - Thank you for making this vacation extra special! Especially for a non-sailor. I also need to thank you for you patience and understanding. You truly made it a hard decision to race or hang with my sister who I only get to see 1-2 times a year. You made this unforgettable!

 

(Heineken Regatta 2005) - Very lovely to stay with you both for such a long time.

Thank you for having me. I really enjoyed it. I will see you very very soon I believe and I look forward to it, probably here in Antigua or some other island.

Also, I must say I am very impressed how you manage your little business, no surprise ot works so well. x

 

(Heineken 2005) - Fair winds, following seas & sunny tacks only for the rest of the season

- Hope you get more wind in Antigua!

 

 

(Heineken 2005) - I cannot imagine a more fantastic introduction to this combination of wind, water, sun that you call sailing!

I am sure I will be in for a shocker when Fenton cecides I should discover UK sailing!

Thank you both for a lovely week - you run your business like no other and I hope to be aboard Disco again- hopefully a bit more use next time. x

(Heineken 2005) - Another tough few days of sunshine and could been!

Thanks for a great time - see you back in the UK!

 

 

(Heineken 2005) - The first for me - I hope of many - Caribbean regattas and my first trip back to the Caribbean since ARC(RAC)2002.

Disco remains the same winning combination of great sailing and fabulous company, and the Caribbean the same combination if fun and warmth (and some wind!) during a cold English Winter.

Matt and Lizzie - you've got something very special and thank you for looking after us so well. See you in Antigua!

(Heineken 2005) - That's another Caribbean Regatta done, two more to go!

As always a fantastic Disco weekend.

Jimmy Cliff rocks!

 

(Heineken Regatta 2005) - Another amazing regatta, its nice to be back in the Caribbean having missed the excitement of last year.

Heineken is a must for great sailing and partying, put it in your calendar.

 

(Antigua, Feb 2005) - Where do I start? A massive thank you for everything. We have enjoyed every minute. Fluff, your food is amazing. I think there are very few people who are as perfect hostess, cook, cleaner, entertainer and friend as you. Matt, you are a diamond. You have followed your dream and given many people a glimpse of their own dreams. Taking a family on holiday is a great thing. Its made all the better by being with good people, who are good friends. Lily has had a ball. - She is the youngest Disco Member - 15 months, and loving every second. Disco I was fantastic, showering out of buckets and stormy seas. Disco II is bigger, better & wider, but, and I'm glad to write it, the original Disco spirit and dream remains the same. Thank you both!!

(Antigua, Feb 2005) - Thank you both for inviting us back onto Disco, particularly now there are 3 of us. You have made us feel totally at home and we have had a very relaxing & enjoyable time.

As a non-sailor I always have a little doubt about being on Disco, but as soon as I am here that disappears thanks to you both. Thank you for everything

(Antigua, Feb 2005) - Thank you for letting me stay on Disco Inferno 2. I hope I wasn't too noisey & that I can come back soon. Thank you for letting me play with the stairs & the fridge handle, lots of fun.xx

 

(Grenada Sailing Festival 2005 plus cruising) - Having been _h_t scared on the training day, I was astounded that the rest of Grenada Sailing Festival was so brilliant.

I've had a wonderful time being surrounded by a fun team, Matt & Lizzie should be congratulated in giving us all such a good time.

Viva Disco Inferno 2!!!!

(GSF2005 plus cruising) - Another wonderful week on Disco in Grenada.

Where else can you find a beautiful, comfortable boat with caring hosts,

which can also win despite me.

 

(GSF2005) - Excellent Sailing Festival,

with Matt & Liz having great balance between competance and

ability to allow crew to feel in control!

 

(GSF2005) - I've had a fantastic time

- thanks very much

(GSF2005) - Great week, great sailing & great cake!!!

beautiful dip pole gybes, great people, fantastic hosts,

as good as it gets.....

 

(GSF2005) - Back here again!

Not quite enough wind, but still lots of fun. Good sailing, great crew work and excellent fun.

Hope this isn't the last entry from me in this book.

 

(GSF2005) - Terrific Sailing and hospitality aboard Disco.

Thanks so much to you both.

 

 

(Grenada Sailing Festival 2005) - I said it 5 pages back last year.

Another great Grenada Sailing Festival. Great Racing, great Craic.

Please invite me back!

 

 

(Antigua to Grenada, Jan 2005) - For non-sailors it was a fantastic experience cruising from Antigua to Grenada - thanks a million to you both - we are very proud of you how you manage the boat and the hospitality.

We shan't forget seeing the whale, and the Tom and Jerry episode with the barracuda (not to mention sending Dad up to the bow to steer you into the bay with a torch in a downpour).

Love you both, Mum and Dad xxx
