For every one person who takes the time to write, there are dozens who share their feelings, if not follow through. We often describe our cruises as the experience of a lifetime and it's rewarding to know so many people agree with us.

5/8/2007: Thank you so much for a great trip out on Saturday! Having 3 friendly whales near the boat was incredible!! We understand that this doesn’t always happen so I feel very lucky to have gone out on Cinco de Mayo!! A splendid way to spend a portion of the day…followed by chowder at Phil’s. Thanks so much!

4/30/2007: Hi -Just wanted to say THANK YOU for a great trip on Tuesday 4/24. We saw humpback whales, and found ourselves in a large school of
porpoises. Of course sea lions and otters were everywhere as well.
We had my mother there for her 85th Birthday - and you guys made her
feel really special by announcing it on the boat - and saying that her
good karma brought all the fish [well, marine mammals] out!! Thanks also for helping her get
in and out of the boat.
Thanks again. We have done other cruises in the Monterey area - but
will now only use yours - and will only recommend you to others.

3/24/2007: Dear Heidi,
A couple of years ago my partner and I visited Monterey . We are avid whale watchers on the east coast and were excited to finally go whale watching out west! We went on a couple of whale watch cruises in Monterey Bay, and were really disappointed. The boats were crowded and we seemed to know more than the naturalists on board!
On the advice of a friend, we drove up to Moss Landing to take a Sanctuary Cruises cruise. What a difference! [The crew] were so friendly and welcoming, and we had a great time. The next time we are back on the west coast, you can bet that we will skip the Monterey boats and go straight to Sanctuary!
Anyway, the real reason I am writing is to tell you how happy we are that Sanctuary was featured in the National Geographic special. We watched last week--sometimes covering our eyes--but very interested in what we learned. Mostly though, I'm glad that such a great company got profiled in such a big way.
Congrats to you and your whole team!!

3/23/2007: Heidi, I am sure you got lots of email feedback on your documentary, so I hesitated to write. But then I got your newsletter soooo... We don't have satelite TV at home. So my husband, myself and my 16 year old son took a much needed weekend jaunt to the northern Georgia mountains and rented a cabin with satellite TV so we could watch the show. It was great!!! and as a bonus we had two days and one night of rare bonding with our teen boy hiking the beautiful trails in the area!!!
Also, got him more excited about our own trip scheduled with you for May 30th. I am afraid once he gets there you may just have to take him on as an additional deck hand. Senior year of high school be darned. Anyway, the show was really great, you looked really great and we cant wait to come on our adventure with your crew in May.
