Hi Coastal
Spirits
Gib Adams here; my girlfriend (Kristie Miles) and I recently
took a tour with Steve and Brodie. I just wanted to take
a minute to tell you how much we enjoyed the trip. In
particular, both Brodie and Steve were fantastic.
I've done a number of these guided "adventure" vacations,
and have really come to appreciate the importance of quality
guide teams. These two are outstanding. Several qualities
stand out. First, very well organized, and flexible.
The team know their business very very well: I think everyone
got enough of what they came for, while I don't think
any one individual was overly taxed. For instance, on
a short paddle day, those of us that were interested in
more "work" headed out with Brodie for an evening paddle,
while the tired ones hung out at camp.
Second, sociable, intelligent
and knowledgeable. Brodie's local knowledge (and patience
in cheerfully answering the multitude of repetitive questions)
was a great asset on the trip. Both Steve and Brodie were
engaging, genuine, and humerous - not always true for
guides, unfortunately!
Third, the meal plan was
excellent - we were very impressed by the variation in
the menu, and the quality of the ingredients - testement
to Brodie's planning abilities. Both Brodie and Steve
were excellent cooks, and always delivered timely and
tasty stuff for the crew. We felt that the value of these
skills cannot be underestimated. In short, a
great trip, thanks to both guides. Rgds Gib
