Dear Tom and Kay,

Chip and I thank you for the wonderful sail we had last Friday evening. What a perfect night! The crew were terrific and all guests have said what a fun time it was for all…Thank you again for a wonderful time! We heartily recommend it for those “special occasions” and just for some fun anytime!

Sincerely,

Chip and Grace (celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary)

It was perfect! Thank you so much. Everyone enjoyed the day and even though it was a sad occasion, bringing my Dad “home,” we had a great time. My Dad was there with us in spirit and it will be a day to remember for a long time.

Hi Kay,

I just wanted to thank you and your family for a great time on the water yesterday. Everyone can’t stop talking about what a wonderful day it was.

Dear Tom and Kay,

What a wonderful sail Monday! We all enjoyed ourselves so much and are very grateful for the opportunity you gave us to raise money for the Phyllis A. Marine Association.

Your crew is remarkable and the vessel is beautiful! You all make the experience effortless and calm, making everyone comfortable. A few people had never been on a sail boat before and of course there were some “old hats.” And, they all had a great time! I had forgotten how much I love sailing in Gloucester Harbor!

Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Gloria Parsons (for the Phyllis A. Marine Association)

Kay,

Just wanted to thank you again for a fabulous sail on Sunday.  Everything was just perfect.  I appreciate all your help and patience with the planning.  This is a party my family will be talking about for years to come!

Good morning Kay,

Just a note to tell you that EVERYONE had a FABULOUS time Saturday evening on the Thomas E. Lannon! Everyone remarked how “spick & span” she is and how everything is so freshly painted and wonderful looking. My Uncle had a great time. He enjoyed everything. It brought back wonderful memories to him of when he used to cruise the coast on his father’s 42′ schooner. He was relating the many times they brought their schooner into Gloucester. When my Uncle was in the Navy during WWII he patrolled the east coast from Newfoundland to Boston. At the end of the Evening Sail my Uncle was telling Tom what to do! Tom was very patient with it. 97 years old, a new record for you! The Evening was wonderful thanks to the hospitality of your family. The chowder was excellent! Many thanks to everyone who made the evening such an enjoyable success!

All the best,

Charlie

Dear Kay,

Thank you for a wonderful cruise! It was beyond my wildest expectations! (Can you tell I’ve never been on a sailboat before!) It won’t be the last time. I loved it! So didn’t the rest of my guests. Thank Tom, Heath & Zach for making the cruise so enjoyable. My best,

Kay,

I want to thank your family and crew for a great experience. Everyone agreed that this was our best company outing yet. A day on the Schooner Lannon was just what our team needed to get re-energized. I’m looking forward to organizing a trip for my family and friends. Thank you.

To Tom, Heath, Kay and Dylan…

I just wanted to send our thanks for a superlative sail on Thursday, July 29th. As you know my family and my husband’s family were all there to celebrate his 62nd birthday! What a night it was. The weather was perfect, the schooner looked wonderful and was manned by all of you. Not only did you make us feel safe and secure, but also allowed us to feel that we were sailing with friends. As I mentioned, of the 38 of us who sailed that evening, I think 35 had never done anything like that before. Everyone had a great time and we have you and your crew to thank for that.

Thanks again,

Dear Kay and Tom,

We wanted to write this note to tell you that Brian’s 50th birthday celebration aboard the Lannon exceeded our expectations! All of our guests are still raving about what a amazing sail we had and how friendly the crew was. My only regret is that we did not charter the sail boat for longer. Our son Dave is serving in Iraq and was not able to join us, but he will be home this fall and the first thing we want to do is take him out on the Lannon!

Thanks for a memory of a lifetime!

Dear Tom and Kay,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful sunset sail we had on July 27th in celebration of my father’s 80th birthday.  Everyone including myself thought it could possibly be the highlight of our vacation.  Though we did not have any wind it still was a beautiful, clear evening and enjoyed by all.  My father I am sure will treasure that night for a long time.  I especially enjoyed the joy on his face when watching him swap sailing stories with you.  Thank you again and I hope to come back sometime.

Dear Kay,

I write to extend a great big “thank you” to you and Tom for your cooperation and leadership in planning and conducting our Grade 5 learning from the Adventure Program. All of the comments that I have received from teachers, students, and administrators were very positive and end with “We must do this again next year and in years to come”. Thank you once again.

Dear Tom,

Just wanted to drop you a short note to let you know how very much our Village Tours Group enjoyed our sail on the Thomas Lannon this past June. The ship is beautiful, the weather was perfect and your crew were such gracious hosts. Everyone in our group from Kansas and Oklahoma had a great time. We will be bringing another group aboard at approximately the same time next year. We hope you have much success in the future and we look forward to seeing you again.

Dear Tom & Kay,

Thank you very much for having us aboard the Lannon for our recent event…it was a wonderful sail. Thank you also for the tremendous amount of effort you put into making this event a success. I know that you and your staff spent much time coordinating with Katie at the campaign …in order to make the event run smoothly. As always, everyone has a terrific time, and the sail was great. Thanks for all your support and help.

All my best,

Dear Kay,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you and your staff for what was a great sail on August 16th. Everyone on board thoroughly enjoyed it and we certainly had what everyone was calling “the perfect sail.” You and your staff did a great job and we all look forward to coming back next year. Thanks once again for helping to make our outing a very memorable day for everyone at New England PET.

Dear Tom and Kay,

From all of us at AMMG, please know how much we enjoyed our sail with you aboard the Thomas E. Lannon Tuesday. The voyage outside the breakwater with heavy seas made our day, and provided most on board with an experience they will never forget. I also think all came away with a reminder of what our great Gloucester fishermen had to endure and the risks involved in such ‘sailing era’ fishing. You all did a great job entertaining and serving us in such unusual conditions-Keep Her Going-we’ll be back.

Dear Kay, Tom and the Crew:

Huge thank yous to all of you for a terrific day. You all outdid yourselves and our team is still talking about how much fun they had. We will definitely be back and thinking about how we can get our clients out for the day.

Dear Tom and Kay,

As always, the Mariposa staff had a wonderful time aboard the Lannon. you and your crew are always so accommodating. And Tom, you really did a nice job with the weather – Bravo!!! If there wasn’t any wind, we didn’t notice. Many thanks for an all around beautiful evening. See you again next year.

Thanks so much to all of you who made our wonderful cruise on Tuesday, the 3rd of July, possible. All of the VST employees were so impressed. We had a wonderful time – and thanks to you – I got lots of appreciation. I don’t know how you manage your contacts with the weather – but they are sure powerful. We had a perfect day and didn’t see a cloud until we got off the boat! I hope we can make this an annual event. Many thanks again for your hospitality. We loved our day at sea.

Best Regards,

Dear Kay and Tom,

On behalf of the St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee it is my pleasure to express our gratitude to you for your support during the 2001 St. Peter’s Fiesta. Your contribution of the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon for Cardinal Bernard Law’s Blessing of the boats in Gloucester harbor was truly appreciated. Despite the calls for bad weather, your commitment was firm. The hospitality you extended to everyone aboard was upstanding. Thank you for a job well done.

Dear Kay, Tom and Erin,

We would like to take a moment to thank all of you for a wonderful afternoon last Saturday aboard the Thomas E. Lannon. I know I can speak for the entire group when I say that we all had a great time. And we could not have picked a better crew! We are already talking about doing it again next summer! Thanks again-everything was perfect.

Dear Kay,

Again, we want to thank you for a great trip. When I talked to you the first time I knew we were in for a Great Day, but I had no idea just how Great!!! We all said that you people are truly blessed to be able to do something you love so much. My manager sent me an email saying this was the best outing yet and your schooner cinched it for everyone. Again many thanks- I’m sure we’ll see you again.

Dear Ellis Family and crew,

On behalf of the Gentia Software Sales and Marketing team, thank you so much for the terrific sail last Friday evening, July 17th. Everyone had an incredible time and enjoyed everything the Schooner Lannon had to offer. You are all wonderful hosts and made the sail especially fun. The lobsterbake on board was also a great success. We would love to come back and visit you and your beautiful schooner again sometime.

Lori Kerr

Dear Tom and Kay,

What a wonderful memory you gave us! Seeing my father at the wheel and how happy he was having his family around him. It was a perfect sail, so calm, refreshing, new. We won’t forget it….Your schooner ride was the frosting on their 50th anniversary party! They’ll talk about this for years to come. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Dear Kay and Tom,

Thank you for working with us to take the Keystone Leadership Forum participants out on the Lannon. We all enjoyed ourselves tremendously and it was a perfect introduction to Gloucester. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Dear Tom and Kay:

Just wanted to let you know how very much all of the residents of Brookhaven enjoyed our cruise/lobsterbake. Your entire family was so gracious to all of us, making each person feel so special. I just can’t begin to tell you how nice it was for many of the residents to be out on the sea. I can certainly understand the pride you have in your vessel…and most importantly the pride you must have in your family! Both are very special. We already know we want to go back in June for a half-day sail. I’ll spread the news among the other retirement communities that the Lannon Schooner is a must do trip!Again, thank you for your hospitality. I’m looking forward to sailing with you again.

Dear Tom and Kay:

On behalf of my entire crew, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to you and your crew for making our voyage to Salem a highlight of our summer. The schooner sailed beautifully and we were all most impressed with the authenticity of her design, construction, and rigging. She is a vessel we can all be most proud of, and thank you again for the privilege to sail aboard her.

Continued fair winds,

Dear Kay, Tom & Brian,

Our evening aboard the Lannon was just wonderful. You’ve done a wonderful job realizing your dream and extending it to the lucky rest of us. What a great enterprise for Gloucester harbor-it is a beautiful, positive message to send out to visitors from other cities and towns. We believe that the Lannon is just what you want to see out there on the water. We hope it is as good for you as it is for all of us who get to be on it and even just look at it. We wish you great success and we’ll definitely be back.

Susan and Bill Copeland

Kay & Tom-

Thanks for a great day! Everyone was delighted. It’s a great venue for a gathering! We are passing the word!!

Dennis McGurk

Dear Kay and Tom:

We just wanted to thank you for a very enjoyable day sailing aboard the Lannon. It was a special opportunity for our members, many of whom have watched the schooner through its various stages of construction, to actually come aboard and see it in action. The project was a great undertaking, and we congratulate you for your accomplishment. We are delighted that Greenbelt was able to be a part of it. Again, thanks for a wonderful afternoon and we wish you great success with the Lannon!

Ed Becker, Executive Director Essex County Greenbelt Association

Dear Kay and Tom,

Everyone enjoyed the cruise. The weather was perfect!! Thanks for everything. We’re looking forward to another private charter next year. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Kathy and Eddie Colbert

Dear Tom and Kay,

We had a bad weather day but our sail inside the harbor was most pleasant-no high waves, no seasickness. We were lucky to even get a harbor cruise in-rain was in torrents, but stopped for our cruise. Crew was just wonderful and most cooperative. Hope to plan another sail for next season. Enjoy your winter.

P.M. Costello, Mystic Valley Railway Society

Dear Tom and Kay,

Our Dad’s last trip was perfect…to go home to the sea on the Thomas E. Lannon. Such a beautiful tribute to a man who spent his entire life as a fisherman. We believe Dad was smiling as he watched his grandchildren and great grandchildren help raise the sails and as he watched his great grandchild at the wheel, next to your warm caring Captain Steele, whom we learned had just made the same trip for his mother.

Tom and Kay, thank you for your kindness that you shared with each member of our family. You truly are beautiful people. May the Thomas E. Lannon, Captain Steele, Tom and Kay sail calm seas, and bring happiness and comfort to all its passengers. Fair winds and following seas,

In grateful appreciation,

The family of Ralph Pete Goulart

Dear Tom:

I want to thank you for a wonderful day on the Thomas E. Lannon. All the teens really enjoyed it and were very excited about the beginning of their Ocean project leading to the Wang Center. The crew were all very hospitable and kind to the kids and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. I can’t wait to see the video taken on board, and its place in the final year long documentary. Thanks again and hope to see you soon.

Paula Belezos Conrad, Express Yourself

Dear Tom and Kay:

Thank you so much for a fantastic evening on your beautiful boat. Everyone in our group enjoyed the sunset cruise immensely, and I’m sure you will be hearing from us again. You and the crew made every effort to share your knowledge and love of sailing with our guests. I enjoyed hearing about the construction of the boat in the old Essex yard, and talking to Tom about the paint factory. Your vision, boat and professional charter service are the best things that have happened to the Gloucester waterfront in a long time. Keep up the good work.

Geoffrey A. Curtis, Fourth Middlesex Bar Association

I can’t say enough about the assistance Kay offered throughout the whole process of organizing the event for my company. She was extremely helpful, above and beyond expectation! It was her recommendations that contributed to making the outing so wonderful! Also, the crew was absolutely delightful. They were extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions abut sailing, etc. The boat itself is beautiful, clean, well-kept, etc. I would take my group sailing again in a heartbeat! Thanks for a wonderful, memorable day!!!

 Comments from Public Sail passengers:

Dear Tom & Kay,

I wanted to thank you both for a wonderful time we had on your sailing charter this evening. It was a spur of the moment decision while sitting in the Gloucester House when your sail boat docked… This is all part of what I call “Perfect Timing” … It was great to meet you and the crew and I was able to begin my Gloucester venture with some really great photo shots… not to mention meeting you both and how welcome you made us feel…. It was a great day (1) …. and I already look forward to returning to Gloucester again one day…

Thank you again and best wishes to you and your family

Good Afternoon Everyone,

On Saturday evening August 1, Rick Price and I went on the sunset sail on the Lannon. We had a lovely time that evening on the boat.  The crew on board are just wonderful people and fun to be around.  The food was hot and delicious and the weather could not have been any better.  (okay maybe a little more wind). We look forward to our next sail with you and having dinner at the Gloucester House Restaurant. We just wanted to say thank you for an evening we will always remember.
Best Regards,
Jim and Rick

Hi Kay,

Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I really enjoyed our sail on the Lannon this past Tuesday evening!  I have always enjoyed sailing and have had many great sailing experiences around New England and in the Caribbean.  We look forward to coming up again in the not too distant future.  The crew was great (especially liked Lucy)!

Kay,

Thank you, your family and crew for making our day sailing on your schooner a truly unforgettable experience.

I received nothing but positive feedback from my travel group.  I forgot to tell you that one of my passengers was 95 years young and she enjoyed it.  Have a great summer on the water and I hope we can visit again.

Dear Tom –
If it was not for you I probably would not be living in Gloucester summers.  I had just sold my condo at Pickering Wharf in Salem and purchased a home in Florida but wanted a condo for 3 or months in the summer.  My realtor called me and said he had a couple for me to look at in Gloucester to which I said “who said anything about Gloucester?”.  I thought about it and figured I had nothing to lose as it was a lovely afternoon in July (15 years ago) so I drove up to lower Middle Street and while waiting for the realtor to show up I looked down the street to the harbor and there was a beautiful schooner hauling its sails.  I watched it sail out as my realtor arrived  and I said I will take it without even looking at it.  Of course I did look at it and it had a view of the outer harbor and I was sold.  The rest is history.
Thank you Tom.
Eileen Bolman

I just have to let you know how much we enjoyed the afternoon sail on the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon on Thursday, July 29th. It is a beautiful ship, and fulfilled a dream of a lifetime to experience such a voyage. It was the highlight of our vacation in the “north of Boston” area. What a glorious time we had, enhanced by Brian’s skillful story telling. He is a wonderful young man, and I know you are very proud of him. I hope we will be able to return to the area in the future, and surely will see you again at that time. Thank you so much, and the best of luck to you and your family. Continue to have a wonderful life!

Dear Tom, Kay and all the Crew,

I just wanted you to know what a great trip we had on your Schooner. We were up for a visit from South Carolina and only had so much time to do too many things. My son was very excited about going and I really just went to satisfy him. Well I will be the first to admit I had a GREAT time. I am so glad that I gave in to my son’s request as this is one of our best experiences of our whole trip! My son helped to raise the sails and I totally relaxed. The crew were great and the storytelling only added to the mood… Thank you for such wonderful memories.

Sincerely, Kristin Muise

A voyage on The Lannon with the Ellis family is one of the best things you can do when visiting Cape Ann! Being a resident of Rockport, I go by myself whenever I can….and then when I have friends or family visiting, they are treated to the glorious, peaceful experience also.

Dear Tom and Kay,

My family and I were on the Schooner during the first Lobsterbake of the season on Friday, July 5. What a wonderful and memorable night for us. The atmosphere, beautiful boat, menu and drinks were perfect. The staff was entertaining (no more than my husband) and service outstanding. My husband, Rick, will never forget raising the sails, the jib (?) and then putting on his kitchen helper hat to hold the watermelon for you, Kay (when staff was enjoying watching you struggle to cut it while the boat was swaying!). You all made us feel like part of one big happy family. Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had. It was a milestone for us landlubbers and eating our first real homemade clam chowder and fresh lobster was delicious and well worth it. Move over Red Lobster! It made our mouths water for more! Thank you, Kay and Tom and staff, for all the hard work and hospitality to make our ride on the lovely Lannon unforgettable.

Sincerely, Amy Haviland, Syracuse, New York

We had a truly wonderful experience on the Thomas E. Lannon. The crew was really friendly and low-key. They promote such a friendly and down-to-earth experience that everyone aboard is relaxed and open for a fun experience. We’ll be back!

My great great great aunt fell in love with a whaler who gave her a ring of marriage promise before he sailed from this port in 1765. His great masted ship never came home and the ring I wear on a chain around my neck in this year of May, 2007 in memory of the aunt who never married, but waited til her death at 82 for her lover to return.

Capt. Tom and Kay,

I just wanted to let you know how much Andy and I have enjoyed sailing with you. Both times we’ve been out with you, it’s been part of a perfect day. We spent part of our first date on an afternoon sail, and then joined you again for a sunset sail this summer.

Everything is perfect, the wind, the stories, letting us help set the sails. You’ve helped make one of my favorite experiences on the North Shore.

I wanted to write a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed going out on the boat with you. I am from Nebraska so you will have to excuse me for not using the correct terms. I did not grow up with water or boats so it was a treat to get out on such a beautiful schooner. I went on a Sunday trip and we had the best time. I went with my friend and her parents, they have been boating forever. You may remember us, we were the ones from Manchester. I think you were at the club the night before our trip. Again, I really wanted to thank you for a wonderful day and for the memories I will have of my first ride on a schooner.

Thanks Again,
Kelli Covert
P.S. I bought a t-shirt to remind me how beautiful your boat is.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great trip on Oct. 11. We were up visiting my sister, I brought my 15 year old daughter, and in a weak moment told her she could bring her two 15 year old friends. When we started out for the trip, they were thinking just some old boat trip, and they got into a 15 year old, “I don’t really want to do this mood, but have to because my aunt and mother are making us.” My sister warned you about three obnoxious teenagers, when we bought the tickets. Well, you took care of the 3 obnoxious kids, right off the bat. Thank you, you made my day, and made my trip and life easy for a few hours. It turned out they had a fantastic time, and I believe it was the highlight of their trip. Something they have never done and probably won’t get to do again. My daughter might when we get to Mass. again. I doubt I will be bringing any of her friends along!

Dear Captain Tom and Crew,

My husband and I would like to thank you all for a wonderful cruise last night aboard your ship. We couldn’t have hoped for a more beautiful evening and sail complete with music and good company. It made our anniversary celebration very special and for that we are grateful. Thank you also for the kind words and service brought to us through the Gloucester House Restaurant.

Warm wishes and Good Sailing,
Finn and Jody Arnold

This is just a little note to say thanks to all of you for a really great day! My wife and I had what we consider to be one of the best times of our lives together!! We can’t wait until next year! I’ve enclosed a memento of the day-some of the people on deck will be familiar, I’m sure. Anyway, thanks again and we’ll see you in the Spring!

Sincerely,
Peter and Andrea Pellegrino

Dear Kay,

Once again, I’d like you to know how much we enjoyed sailing on the Thomas E. Lannon. The ship is lovely and the weather was fine, but it was the welcoming attitude of the Captain and Crew that made it such a great experience. We’ll be back, I assure you!

Best Regards,
October
