We
received this letter from Jim Story who sailed on our DELMARVA
Circumnavigation cruise in September 2003:
October 16,2003
Mr. Tom Tursi

Dear Tom,
I want you to know how much I enjoyed the recent ASA #106
Delmarva Peninsula Circumnavigation. It was a great experience, and I believe I
can say that for all the other students who participated. The boat and equipment
were in top condition. The School support, specifically Denise Tontarski, made
everything come off without a hitch. Her efforts were much appreciated by all on
board.
Andy Prescott was the key to the success of our trip and
instruction. His professional approach to his job insured we mastered all course
material. More importantly, his personal example set the tone. While we learned
much technical and course requirements, Andy's performance as Captain taught the
lesson of never taking anything for granted. His checking and rechecking of
things, which I am sure, he has done many times, demonstrated how important
details are to a safe and successful cruise. This is the lesson that will be
most remembered.
I plan to put to work what I have learned so far taking
ASA#101 through #106 at your school. I will continue sailing and chartering to
hone my skills and I plan to do #107 and #108 in the future.
Sincerely yours,
James E. Story
