You guys don\'t know us yet, but we just finished drooling over the Antares 44i at the Miami Boat Show and had many questions about our Golden Retriever Tyler and living aboard. Rob and Jeff suggested we might contact you regarding how well Mollie gets along. If you can, and have time, please email us. We will hopefully be ordering our boat within the next 18-24 months or so. Regards! Ed and Maite

Tom Groves | tomgroves1 at verizon.net -- Tuesday, February 2, 2010 | 16:00:44

Hello Bob - I just talked to brother Bob and he told me all about your boat. What a beautiful craft it is! He\'s planning a trip to visit you soon. I want to wish you all the best for the new year! Happy Sailing!

Lisa & Rick | Lisau at trademarkmanagement.com -- Sunday, January 17, 2010 | 17:21:28

Hello Lynne, Bob & Mollie. We are reaching out to touch base with you to make sure you received our response e-mail. Our travel plans have us arriving in St. Thomas on March 12 and leaving March 21. Please don\'t give our state room away :). Rick and I are counting the days until we feel the warm Caribbean air and see the beautiful blue waters! Love ya, Lisa

Juanita Robbins | juarob at comcast.net -- Monday, January 11, 2010 | 17:20:05

Hi Lynne & Bob! Glad to hear you are where you should be rather than where so many others of us are --- freezing in an unusually cold winter! Have enjoyed following your journey and have checked in a couple of times over the last couple of years. So glad to see Molly is with you. Please keep logging and blogging, so some of us have, at least, the vicarious pleasure you have known ... Juanita & Glenn

Josh Withell | joshwithell at hotmail.com -- Sunday, November 8, 2009 | 16:07:37

Hi Bob & Lynne My wife and I just finished reading through your website and we were wondering if you\'ve encountered any problems sailing with a dog? How do you deal with her while at sea? what if she requires a bathroom break/ walk? I understand many islands don\'t allow pets? What have you experienced so far. thanks Josh

Jeff and Cindy Bond | mail at jeffandcindybond.com -- Sunday, November 8, 2009 | 11:11:39

Hooray for you both!! Glad to hear you are back on Leap of Faith with Mollie :)... Thanks for the update! We\'re excited with you to be back in the islands! We will check your site often and dream about crusing ourselves someday! We\'re thinking of you and wishing you safe and enjoyable travels! Take care ~ Jeff and Cindy

Good Golly Guys..... What spectacular pics of SOME of your adventures. I so enjoyed viewing and printing. Am planning on making a collage of \"THE ADVENTURES OF BOB, LYNNE AND MOLLIE. Keep them coming. They are just too good. Love and I think you know who!!!

Erin Bonine | ecbonine at verizon.net -- Sunday, March 15, 2009 | 20:06:06

OMG, it was wonderful to see all your great pictures....Chelle was so happy to see Mollie in a life jacket. I guess she has had many sleepless nights worrying about Mollie aboard the boat. Of course this is the first I have heard of it. Can you email me when you get a chance, I have office questions for you. :) Erin

George Kiselica | gkiselica at hotmail.com -- Saturday, February 28, 2009 | 19:02:02

B & L & M I saw Jerry yesterday and he was just about to go home and pack for his visit with you. Sounds like alot of fun. Have fun sailing and have a Rum! George

Marc DeLaVergne | jmdela2 at yahoo.com -- Monday, January 19, 2009 | 20:51:42

Lynne and Bob, Great to see your website is still up and running. I had thoughts of what you three might be up to these days. North Idaho has dealt us a record snowfall in December with all of us holding our backs with the amount shoveling we have done. Both Joyce and I cheer on your adventure in the Caribbean and wish you a Happy New Year. Best of Breezes, Marc and Joyce

Jen, Ray, Lauren & MaKenna | Chasingthesunsets at yahoo.com -- Tuesday, July 15, 2008 | 17:05:50

Keep living the great life! Dreams do come true with hard work and lots of planning. Your adventures look amazing! We will never forget the day you \"caught the sailing fever\" in Bora Bora!!! Your adventures look amazing. Best to you both, Jen, Ray, Lauren and Makenna

Darlene Shannon | darleneadale at gmail.com -- Thursday, May 1, 2008 | 22:41:34

Hello Bob & Lynne, You may not remember me but Lynne you gave me a tour of your boat while (hubby was lobstering) on Sampson Cay. You left less than an hour later. I was on a boat working as a chef next to you called M/Y Lady Diane. I really enjoyed the tour on your boat and hope you are having a wonderful and memorable adventure. Thank you for sharing it with me. If you care to see a different kind of adventure you can visit my website as well. www.freewebs.com/darleneadale Fair Winds and Following Seas...............

sally germany | sallygermany at earthlink.net -- Saturday, February 23, 2008 | 16:09:21

Hey you three: Just viewed your newest pics and they look great! Reminds me of our trip. Always something happening.... Bob, that lobster reminds me of the one we had. Yum! Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNNE Love, Mom

Jay Sanguinet | jsanguinet at spi-ind.com -- Thursday, January 17, 2008 | 13:52:05

Payback Bob... payback already. Remember when we were up \"on the hill\", you were hungry, didn\'t have a lunch, and I gave you one of my meatloaf with onion sandwiches on rye bread? How about that lobster you just speared to come my way in return? That ought to do. Keep in touch! Jay

Dave and Carol Ann Faith | dfaith at telus.net -- Tuesday, December 18, 2007 | 23:37:04

This is really amusing! We have been living aboard our CS 36 Merlin \"LEAP OF FAITH\" for the past 6 years in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, We have chartered with the Moorings several times over the past number of years (BVI\'s, St.Lucia-Grenada,Antigua for race week) and again in Abacos,Bahamas this past February. We are in our late fifties and hope to retire in two years. We want to spend at least a couple of years sailing the rest of the Caribbean and have decided to buy a boat in Florida sometime between now and then. We decided that a \"cat\" at our stage would be the best investment and had been investigating the options. We really liked the layout of the Robertson and Caine Leopard 38. This evening, I was on a chat site and a couple of people were highly recommending the PDQ 36 and I decided to check out the PDQ website. We were amazed to see your article in Cruising World. (We tend to read \"Latitudes and Attitudes\" and \"Canadian Yachting\", so didn\'t see the original article)but it seems our courses are paralleling except we\'re just \"a couple of years\" behind. We would really like to hear how things are going and to keep in touch. Carol Ann and Dave Faith

Bill, Linda, Tyler & Garrett | bill at northidahospas.com -- Wednesday, November 7, 2007 | 10:38:53

Michelle Blemel | blemel at yahoo.com -- Friday, October 5, 2007 | 19:16:03

Hi guys, Just found the website again and wanted to let you know I\'ve been thinking of you as it gets cold here in SP. I am sure you are warm and cozy on your boat. Sure do miss you both. Hope all is well. Did get the cruising world article months ago. Very nice. Love to you both. Michelle

Chris Curtis | ccurtis at mval.net -- Wednesday, October 3, 2007 | 19:40:33

Hello Lynne (and Bob). Lynne, I don\'t know if you remember me all that much. I own Sandpoint Computers in town. My wife and I are planning to cast off in 2009. Just the time we need to sell the house and get the kids ready. We plan to start on the east coast/ICW area as a training ground. I hope we can meet one day cruising. I\'m glad to read of your success transitioning to the cruising life. It gives hope to those like us who are planning to make the leap. Keep up the great writing. Fair winds! Chris Curtis

sally germany | sallygermany at earthlink.net -- Thursday, September 27, 2007 | 13:32:29

Dear Bob, Lynne and Mollie: Just wanted to let you, and everyone else who reads your guestbook to know that I love your \"new home.\" Can\'t wait to get back \"on board.\" I never had so much fun. Love, Mom

Jimmie Johnson | ncwalsh1 at verizon.net -- Friday, September 14, 2007 | 20:11:05

Hey Bob, why don\'t you bring Mom up to Loudon, N.H. this weekend, or keep her another week and visit me in Victory Lane at Dover, see ya, Jimmie Johnson # 48, Lowes Chevrolet

Barbie | barbieblood8 at aol.com -- Monday, September 3, 2007 | 12:39:27

Hi ya! Lynne, I really enjoyed reading your article! You were definitel meant to write. Your joy comes thru quite clearly in your work. That inexpiclable message from the whale gave me goose bumps! (Hope you brought your Medicine Cards.) I am hoping that sometime in the future you will do an article explaining the secrets of \"pottying a dog\" while at sea! :) We are most curious about this! Glad to hear that Blaze is well and stays in communication.:) Sail on in Peace....Barbie

vickie moore | moore-v at hotmail.com -- Thursday, August 23, 2007 | 07:31:55

Hi Lynn & Bob, We are currently underway on our grand adventure delivery trip. We decided to go down the St. Lawrence River instead of the Canal and it has proven to be a wonderful choice. We figured that we would probably never have that chance again so that was our reasoning. We went to the 1000 Islands which I can only describe as \"magical\". It was the most beautiful place I have ever been. It\'s like something out of a fairytale. We then went on to Montreal and Quebec City which are like wonderful old european towns. We then worked our way to Prince Edward Island and then Nova Scotia. We did our first overnight passage from Yarmouth to Bar Harbour. I decided I wanted to drive during the night so with myself and my daughter on deck we were having a wonderful evening until the radar went out. It finally came back on to go out again 3 more times until it finally quit for good. Luckily by that time it was 5:00 and we were starting to see some light. It is now working again so as of yet we don\'t know what the problem really is until we get it checked out. We\'ve seen several types of whales and many seals and have literally manuvered this boat through thousands of lobster traps. It\'s pretty hard to sail when you\'re dodging lobster traps. So far we\'ve motored lots because the wind always seems to be ahead or behind. Can\'t wait to do some good sailing. We left Portland, Maine this morning and are on our way to Nahant, Mass where we will visit a classmate of Bill\'s and then keep working our way south to be home, on the Gulf Coast, by the 1st of November. Our plan is to then leave in January and head for the Turks & Caicos and work our way up the Bahama chain so that we can follow the warm weather up and do lots of snorkeling. Let us know if you are going to be near us at any time and we\'d love to get together and see you. Vickie & Bill
