Of all the journeys I have taken, this one has to be one
of the best! A memorable time spent in the company of
old and new friends. Jim, you are a great skipper and
a most interesting man! We enjoyed your thought provoking
questions at dinner and felt better for the laughter many
of them provided! Sally, you are a wonder! As a chef,
you excel but as a person, you are unmated. What a lot
we learned from you! We hope you have a wonderful summer
of cruising. We will thank of you often and wish we were
sharing the moment with you.
Thank you so much!
Love,
Gleims
Jamal Cruise –
5/10 – 21/04 Sat/Ktu
Jim thanks for the opportunity to cruise with you. There
is much to remember and remember I will. From the bears
and whales, to the dolphins and eagles, to quiet bays
and a pod of Orcas, this was simply a great trip. Not
one day of rain and only about 4 hours of rough seas,
how did you do it? It was an added bonus to help you and
Sally celebrate your birthday.
Thanks for letting us play with all the toys and drive
the boat around logs.
Whishing you a summer of sunshine and smooth seas, and
love and laughter as we have known these past 10 days.
Thanks,
Joe
Dear
Jim, Fran & Sally,
We have had a most fantastic cruise with a most generous
Captain. Sally in the galley had the most satisfying food
of any cruise I have been on. The sea lions and seals
were great to watch and the whales put on a fine show,
with their fluking and blowing. The scenery was awesome.
The sailing was smooth. I will never go on a large cruise
ship again. This is the only way to go on a vacation.

Den Jen, Mo, and Sally,
There’s nothing I could write that would express
how truly wonderful this trip on Jamal has been. The itinerary
you laid out was extraordinary, from the whale watching
to the quaint harbors, but the best of all was the opportunity
to spend time with three amazing women – the Jamalians,
of course! Also, special thanks to Sally for forever raising
our expectations of great food! I hope we all meet again!
Thanks for sharing your love of Jamal and the Pacific
NW with us!

Well, this is Day 5 for my week long adventure on the
Jamal. Grandpa & Grandma will still be with all of
you for a week after we leave. Trent & I, (newlyweds),
have had the most spectacular time with all of you. Our
crew, Captain Jen, Kathy (Kiki) & Sally Wally. You
have made this trip a dream come true for us. We came
here to relax before our big day, & we have definitely
accomplished that. It was above & beyond anything
we could have imagined! Alaska is beautiful & breath-taking,
but not half as beautiful & breath-taking as you three
ladies. The hospitality, amazing, the food, outstanding,
the memories, forever! The generosity of our Captain,
even though she was on a schedule, was perfect. She knew
how badly I, (Allie), wanted to see whales. She found
them & took the time out for us to enjoy them. I shall
never forget her for that; I will never forget any of
the crew. They will be forever in our hearts and I truly
wish they could be at our wedding. Thank you so much for
your kindnesses.
Jen – Don’t ever change! Your
bubbly nature is infectious! I love it!
Kathy (Kiki) – Great child-naming skills. Great
taste! Love ya!
Sally Wally – We love you! You are the gentlest,
sweetest woman we have ever met!
All of you will be forever remember, forever
loved!

Sensational sights of whales, glaciers, and bears have
made this voyage on the Jamal the most fantastic way to
see Alaska. Taking those narrow passages and hearing the
thunderous crack of the glaciers remains for me the highlight
of the trip.
Thanks to you, Jennifer, we have seen as
much of Alaska as possible in a short time. You took us
to waterfalls, sea lions, warm & hot springs and superbly
maneuvered the boat to sight whales. Travel in tandem
with DK, Stacy and Megan proved to be fortuitous, with
them some of our group went fishing and even saw bears
in action.
And, Jen, your crew of Sally, Sally Jo,
and Cathy went out of their way at all times to make us
extremely comfortable, well fed, and entertained.
You have all enriched my life and I will miss you. Alaska
will be here if we ever decide to return, but we would
be lacking something if we didn’t see you again.

We Love you ladies – and had an absolutely awesome
time! Highlights of course were: Sally’s incredible

just being here! You ladies are the BEST – we love
you all!
