Turnaround day on Charter yacht again...the last hurrah from Swim Vacation

While in bed last night, I could hear the strains of a bit of a dance party on the back deck...Apparently Hopper could not let a Swim Vacation week go by without getting his ceremonial Swan Dives in off the dinghy!!!




This was cocktail hour last night, Brent did a trivia quiz with the guests and HOPPER won! Everyone else called foul!! It had such exciting questions on it such as "Does Simeon shave his chest?" (Don't ask, I don't know and was cooking dinner at the time!)

We were up early getting everyone to their respective planes and ferries, unfortunately our girl flying back to Switzerland left her keys!!!! We hope the next person arriving at the STT airport was able to catch up with her before she left... We are now, well, what else, cleaning! We have 24 hours off!! We don't go out until Monday! Yippee!!
We fit everyone into the saloon last night for a slide show, which I think is a fitting picture to finish off the week along with the guest comments. Swim Vacations next trips are planned for November/December and March if you would like to swim around the British VIrgin Islands as well, contact me and I will put you in touch with Hopper, or go straight to Swim Vacation.


To the captain and crew of Promenade: Thank you for sharing your home with Swim Vacation 2009. Your yacht is beautiful- with beautiful people to match. You guys really made the week so special and Hopper made me laugh. It was an honor to be on board! TRACI, LARGO FL

I have to admit---I was terrified of marine heads! But you all made everything so amazing and welcoming for those of us on Swim Vacation this week...Swimming...History Lessons....Island Hopping....Swimming some more....excellent meals...fine conversation....We will really hate leaving you guys tomorrow. Hopefully we will be back in the future. Thank you for a GREAT week! CAROL AND HANK, NC

The Promenade became my home for 7 days. In fact, the Promenade was better then home. THe crew, the boat is a service like no other...I am here for Swim Vacation and I will be back again! BILL, PHILADELPHIA, PA

I truly enjoyed the week on the Promenade. The crew was friendly helpful and competent. Swim Vacation is a great way to spend a week- long distance open water swimming has been great! Thanks AMY, SWITZERLAND

YOu have opened my eyes to a whole new world of entertainment (ahem) I had a wonderful time on the Promenade and Swim Vacation taught me so much about open water swimming. See you again in the near future. YVONNE, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA

Bazza, Kerry, B and Simeon: What a pleasure to see a crew that works so well together- liven the dream- how lucky for you! Each of you have a story. Hope things go good for you TUNDRA BOY and Simeon. I hope when you get that boat you can go and do as you please!
Swim Vacation and the Promenade are a great match. I enjoyed my swim time and came away with a much stronger base for open water swims. Thank you. Good luck with your future swims Hopper, Keep up the energy!
