Incredible Trip!

Hi Gaelle,

How lovely to hear from you! I am missing “home” and my “boat people” already. So very often these last 2 days, I’ve spaced out a bit at work and wandered back to Ocean Divine and the wonderful warmth to be found in your home on the sea. Everyone from our holiday is missing Ocean Divine. It’s all over our facebook updates and comments!

Thank you very much for being so kind, patient, joyful and hospitable. We had a lovely lovely time in Maldives and it could not have been possible without all the little touches you, David, Dunie and the crew put in. It’s made our holiday feel not just a holiday, but a very special sojourn to the spiritual place we each hold within. I am truly grateful for the experience and immeasurably touched in ways I cannot describe. I have the highest admiration for you and David for pursuing and living your dream. How brave, how inspiring, how profound. Thank you.

Before this trip, I’d enjoyed all my beach holidays for the frolicking and the fun, and sometimes, a bit of rest from doing nothing. But Maldives on Ocean Divine has been different. Almost reverential somehow and it’s left me feeling privileged to have experienced something I cannot yet describe. I have come away with a deep respect for the ocean and all the life within. I’d always thought the ocean beautiful but now I think it is majestic. It teaches and it rewards. My biggest fear is that of drowning. Thus, swimming in the open sea has been a very special treat for me. There had been moments in the past week when I’d felt genuine sudden panic at the realisation that I could not find “ground” to stand on while swimming. I remember thinking it is only right to fear the sea. It is right and respectful. It is how, perhaps, a real love of it can begin, if that makes sense at all. And, of course, swimming with so many mantas unexpectedly has been a very very big privilege. I feel blessed.

Plse send our love to the crew. They had made a huge difference to our trip. Just knowing that someone was watching over me while I was floating at sea had given me courage to enjoy the water. The food was superb, the massage heavenly, and the fact that Ocean Divine is always so tidy and comfortable is true testament to the great effort everyone puts in! There is so much that goes on behind the scene we don’t see but have the biggest appreciation for. Well done, Ocean Divines! C’est magnifique!

I will sort out photos this weekend. There are some lovely ones of wee Dune! Wishing you and yours all the very best and I sincerely do hope we’ll meet again. You have a beautiful family, Gaelle. It’s immensely inspiring.

Bisous, Evonne

A big Thank You!

I had the most enjoyable time on Ocean Divine that will be very hard to top! I also consider myself lucky to have spent a week with some of the best crew/people that I have ever met!! I was blown away at how hard working and caring they ALL were! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you and see you again!
