December 2013 - Paradise Connections Yacht Charters
(Newest posts at bottom of page)
Best wishes to all of you for the new year - Paradise Connections.
 Wow... 2013 is almost over. That was quick. Only a few days to go before New Years 2014 will be ringing in. Looking forward to the coming year and what it will bring.
It's astounding, time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll...
- The Time Warp
If
you're feeling a bit rushed and need a break, what about a quick
getaway and warm up in the islands? A bit too soon for a vacation, perhaps? Then take
a few minutes out of your busy schedule and turn your mind to something
extremely enjoyable... Start planning your next sailing vacation or
perhaps a barge trip.
Don't you deserve a break :) Tell us about it! |
