<p>Henru & Clara,<br>Thank you so much for a fun & relaxing 10 days aboard OAW 3! The food was simply amazing & we loved the casual pace blended with some fun & shenanigans! So many great meals & memories, and each night the beer fairy would come to top off the cooler with tasty beverages & ice 🙂 So sad to leave your company and the beautiful waters & beaches of.<br><br>The BVI! ♡ Aaron, Claudia, Volker,<br>Dagmar, Clay & Lisa<br><br>Henru & Clara - <br>We had a fabulous time on OAW3! You both took great care of us - your hospitality was awesome, the food was fantastic! So sad to leave! <br>♡ Lisa & Clay<br><br>Dear Clara & Henru, <br>thank you for an absolutely amazing time aboard OAW III. You took such great care of us with drinks, Michelin Star worthy meals, and showing us around the most beautiful spots in the BVI. Until next time,<br>Dagmar & Volker<br>xoxo</p>

<p>Henru and Clara,<br><br>We could not have asked for a more perfet adventure. Everything from Hog Heaven (what a view!), Scrub Island massages and especially to us getting to Anegada (which was beyond special and a fantastic day and night), it all worked out so seamlessly. We also felt so accomplished finally pronouncing Henru’s name right by the end of the week. Your hospitality was extraordinary, somehow you always knew what we needed even before we did. We were all floored by Clara’s thoughtful, healthy and creative meals. Smoothies for EVERY breakfast!! We were made to feel right at home by Clara and Henru throughout our voyage which is not an easy<br><br>→<br><br>task given the close quarters for 7 days. Sitting with Henru at the helm, along with Clara, between our destinations was such a relaxing experience. His patience and knowledge of boating always made us feel secure. Top notch trip all the way around. A trip that we will always remember with smiles and laughter,<br><br>Until next time,<br><br>Liz + Scott<br>Chris and Jane<br>Elizabeth + Jeff<br>♡<br><br>Barrington, RI</p>

<p>Clara & Henru,<br>There are no words big enough to say ‘thank you’ for this once in a lifetime experience. We celebrated, learned new things (i saw new creatures), experienced the beauty of the BVI, and made two new friends. 🙂 you both provided an amazing experience and you make a fantastic team. you exemplify true partnership that shines through in each moment, big or small. We’re lucky to have spent the week with you and we will look forward to seeing you in South Africa (or Maine - whichever happens first!)<br>Until next time,<br>♡, Carly & Trevor</p>

<p>Henru & Clara,<br>We’ve been waiting years to make a vacation like this happen, and we feel so lucky that it was with you and On a Whim!!!<br>This experience exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories — including our visit to The Baths and the adventurous swim in and out, floats in the tube with delicious cocktails, and making the most of the weather conditions (we loved our lunch at Hog Heaven!).<br>Of course, the AMAZING food we had while on board! Thank you again for making this exceed our highest expectations and for leaving us wanting to come back to explore even more — hopefully with you once again!<br>With gratitude,<br>Lana & Chris</p>

You two are amazing and will always have a special place in our hearts. It was a joy to meet you!<br>With gratitude<br>The Ditty's<br><br>Henru and Clara <br>Where to begin! this has been the vacation of a lifetime and that is truly because of Henru and Clara!
