my trip something that I will remember always. You took great care of
all of us in the PADI IDC and I feel you a driving force in making it
a great success. I am definately coming back for another trip, the diving

I already have a group trip in the works. Cheers to all of you, George

Just
returned from a week on board with 11 Planet Ocean Divers.
We have been on many other live aboards, but your operation
is definitely tops in our book. Every detail is so well done
making sure your guests have a top notch experience. Your crew
is superb and went beyond normal efforts to please our group.
The cuisine was wonderful and always served in such a lovely
setting on the deck. We were all surprised with the quality
of dives that we made. You can't complain when you see two
Goliath Groupers and three juvenile manta rays in one week,
not to mention the beautiful and healthy corals,other reef
fish,rays and fascinating wrecks. Thanks to all the crew for
such a memorable experience. We will be back! Sherry Wade,

Dear
Annie and Duncan:
Sorry we're so late in writing to you to thank you for a wonderful
two week trip in paradise. Mary and I and I will include Kevin (Lusty) as I speak
to him everyday at work and our conversation always resorts back to the Cuan
Law. MORE>>>

Our
40th anniversary trip last week (June 23-June 29) was fantabulous!
The crew is simply the best! The diving and sailiing wonderful!
The quality, quantity, and variety of the food almost unbelieveable!
We planned for two years to have 16 friends join our family
of four for the celebration. Having the crew join in the festivities
just made it more memorable. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire
Trimarine Family. We can't wait to come back to go 'down islands.'

Wow!
We had the trip of a lifetime this past Easter (3/31-4/6/02)
aboard Cuan Law. The crew are all such great folks and so much
fun to be around. We were here with 3 brothers and their families
so the 8 cousins had a blast exploring the boat, snorkeling,
diving, kayaking, knee boarding. Scuba diving amongst the colorful
reefs was awesome and Chas and Sasha were the best teachers.
If I could afford to return every yr I would definitely but
for now I will just cherish these memories and relive them
by reading the comments of others on this webpage. Tell Mike
I miss his cooking and even though he fooled the kids with "aquatic
chicken" (duck). I am not always that lucky getting them
to eat what I make. Barbara Gottschalk - Phoenix, Maryland

We
spent the 1st week of our honeymoon on the Cuan Law. As Clark
mentioned - get ready to eat and dive. The crew was really
accomodating and friendly - they do their best to make you
feel at home. Cuan Law is a really relaxing vacation - the
diving was tops! I really enjoyed the night dives. The diving
is very easy - not too deep - with lots of diverse dive sites.
The boat is very comfortable with spacious cabins, (we stayed
in cabin 4) a well stocked bar, and an awesome crew. Thanks
for filling our Honeymoon with many great memories. Henrik

We
loved our trip on Cuan Law in January 2002. Cuan Law is the
perfect combination of a five star hotel, cruise line, dive
shop and restaurant. The crew- Gerry, Larry, Kim, Chas, Christy,
Big Jess and Little Jess really know how to provide a good
time. I especially enjoyed exploring a newly sunken tugboat
with Larry. I now understand why Gerry has a "no dessert" policy.
The only hard exercise available is keeping up with Marine
Boy Chas as he leads you to the Submarine Races. Christy can
make you feel guilty about not letting her get you a drink.
Big Jess is one with the Force as she drives the launch. Hey
Jess why is the launch drifting away? More knot practice for
the crew!! I learned the difference between a "yanker" and
a "spanker." Hey Little Jess, I showed our trip pictures
at the firehouse and now you have a fan club. Kim- I worked
for two months to drop ten pounds for the trip and your cooking
put them back on in 6 DAYS! We loved it! WE WILL RETURN!

Wow,
this is a great web page! We are growing old with the Cuan
Law. Our first trip was in the '80's (Lammer Law), the next
two were in the '90's, and now we are booking a trip for the
early part of 2003. It is our favorite trip in the world and
we book the boat and share it with our friends. It was fun
scrolling the site and seeing the names of others in the crew
that were with us on a cruise. Lynne, Craig, and Les, to name
a few. No trip was better than another, although the first,
when Duncan was our Captain and Annie's Father, Stanley, was
aboard, was a special treat. The food and accomodations are
always top-notch and the crew has always been a delight. We
look forwrd to the next voyage!

Spent
5 years diving on the Cuan Law, the best diving we've done.
The crew, food and accomodations were the best. Made friends
and "Buddies" that will never be forgotten. We highly
recommed the crew and boat to any serious diver.

Duncan
and Annie, Today is overcast with bits and starts of rain and
hail here in Connecticut and I was thinking about my upcoming
12th trip on the Cuan Law in Fefruary. I started my scuba exercise
program last week and had my equipment safety checked already
and with a few more minor purchases I will be ready to go.
As usual I will leave the weather in the BVI to you to schedule.
I bought new parabolic snow skiis for this years downhill fun
here in the northeast and by February I will need to warm up
with you in the sun. Our good friends Mark and Charlie will
be there again and I look forward to meeting some other 'Old
timers' and new friends on Cuan Law. See you then.

We
are looking forward to our tenth trip on the Cuan Law in a
few days - obviously, we enjoy the boat! We have been on the
usual BVI trips, and on St. Martin to BVI, St. Martin to St.
Martin, and Adventure Trips. We enjoyed them all. The crew
is friendly, the accommodations comfortable, the food delicious,
and the diving is varied and good, as well as usually being
current-free and easy. If you want 5 dives a day, this boat
isn't for you, but if you want passengers and crew that get
along well together, good diving, sailing, snorkeling, and
other water and land activities that everyone can enjoy, as
well as comfort, the Cuan Law can't be beat!

Hey,
I know we were a tough crowd, but everyone on board did an
exceptional job in trying to make everyone in our party happy
from the young children to the 8 year old twins to the non
divers who wanted to try it to my parents. I love the Cuan
Law and had forgotten how special the trip can be. I sincerely
hope that the divers in our party can get together next year
to book a down island trip.... Thanks for making my 40th a
special birthday, and a special thanks to Mr. Chasszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good
Afternoon Annie.... We had such a wonderful time on our stay
on the Cuan Law!!! I could go on and on...everything was great.
Everyone in our family loved every member of the crew. They
all had such distinctive personalities and were terrific to
interact with. The food was amazing!!! It was more than
one could hope to expect on such an adventure. Everyone in
the group had an amazing trip...people loved all the different
activities..the divers, even though there were just a few,
had high praise for the dives and the crew who dove with them..
Anyway, you get the idea. We loved it and will love sharing
the memories for a years to come. We are having a family get
together this Sunday to share pictures. Thank the crew again
for us, they made the trip extra special. We came away feeling
we had a bunch of new friends...

To
the entire staff of the Trimarine Boat Co.
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful vacation possible. I do
know how much work goes in to making an operation run so smoothly that everyone
thinks that it runs itself. That is the mark of a truly professional
organization. Please convey to the crew of the Cuan Law the heart felt
appreciation of Sharon, me and all of our fellow travelers. I have spoken
with most of them since our return and they, to the last person, have had so
many positive things to say about their week aboard. We do so want to
thank Gerry for being so accommodating, allowing the dive and island tour schedules
to run concurrently and whenever our groups wanted either one. He worked
from the first moment we stepped aboard until the departure at the dock in
Tortola to make it a most memorable vacation for all of us. more...

Dear
Annie and Duncan,just found your website being new to the web
and having been dinosaur for the last 10years. Cuan Law still
looks as great as ever - the time I spent as cook and working
with you both at home still stands out as one of the highlights
of my time both in B.V.I. and yachting.Interesting to see you
are now doing many charters further afield, the photos of B.V.I.
and aboard bring back fond memories of a fantastic time. Working
hard as a Mum and Primary School teacher in a Special Needs
unit these days, but still take time out to remember those
great times with you all - fondest memory Ducan describing
me as a mermaid on one charter!!! now thats a compliment. Fondest
wishes to you and Shasha. Lynne West.

meet new friends at the same time.Many thanks to your crew:

My
wife and I justed completed a 6-day sail with the Cuan Law.
It was everything we had hoped for and more. Spacious room,
good food great diving, and and enjoyable, attentive crew.
We were especially fortunate to have Ducan serving as captain
this week, and the itinerary included some sites (e.g., two
dives on the "Chikuzen") not normally done in the
winter. The other guests were great, too, and we are in the
process of exchanging photos by e-mail. To Duncan, Bill, Gordon,
Alex, Louise, and Jesse, thanks for a great week.

Time
for an old Captain and Cook to touch base... Of all the yachts
that Holly and I ran in our pre-parenthood years, Cuan stands
head and shoulders above the rest, and we still proudly tell
the tales of our time with you. Dunc and Annie epitomise professionalism
and experience in the charter business, and their support enables
the crew to reach the same standards they've perfected over
the years. We miss you all, and the beautiful islands and reefs.
We'll be back with the girls though, so look out! Thanks! Peter
