Sacha, Danny & Chris

October 2003

I had the best holiday ever, it is even hard to express it into words. When I booked the trip I hoped it would be like this, but never thought that the paradises we were gonna see could be real: so beautiful!!! I was so stressed before I started the holiday and now I am totally reborn and go fresh to work for a year and then I will definitely return!!! Thank you so much Heitor for the most beautiful and relaxing week ever and if you ever need a cook on one of your trips you know where to find me!!

 groetjes en tot volgend jaar,    Sacha

If you ever want to go sailing, sail with Heitor; the best captain to sail your holiday with !! He is funny, kind, relaxed and has the knowledge to show you the most beautiful places in these areas. I did not even think about home, so relaxing it was. Waking up every morning in a next beautiful paradise makes each day a new surprise !!

Thanx for all the pleasure......

It looked like a relaxing holiday, and skipper Heitor sold himself as a relaxed guide through the islands of Rio and Isla Grande. Should you believe it? You better do. Nine days of sailing, swimming, consuming and just enjoying life in it's purest form are the best way to become totally relaxed.Who needs Valium!!?? Thx Heitor, for the relaxed conversations, the beautiful tours, the amazing surroundings and learning us the art of making a good "Caipirovka". We'll meet again, that's for sure.

 "During this trip I cock 2 Dutch dishes I brought from Holland: Hutspot (mashed potatoes with lots of carrots andonions) and Zuurkool with Rookwoorst . On the last day I surprised everybody with an Indonesian meal: Rendang (stewed beef with boenboe Rendang from Conimex) and Sambal Goreng boortjes (Green beans with boenboe Sambalgoreng from Conimex) together with Nasi Goreng (rise stirfried with vegetables)"
