Capt. John Cadamuro, m/v Samantha Miller, Miller's Launch - 2/2005 
  "On behalf of the crew of the Samantha Miller, I am extending my sincerest gratitude for your recent assistance in the lower Delaware Bay. I truly appreciate your effort in adverse weather conditions as we organized our tow. Things could have gone terribly wrong in rough seas, on a pitching, rolling & icy deck. It was certainly a comfort to our crew knowing you were on-scene to assist as needed, particularly in an emergency. The episode is now a distant memory except for the sound of your voice on the radio & the feeling of calm once you arrived on-scene. Thank You Again!  

John Hughes, Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control - 2007

  "Ice building on deck, freezing water, a down wind trip so the waves will be bigger at the ship, and the return trip is in the dark. All that worrying for nothing. The Delaware Bay Launch captain was an artist with the throttles and rudder and the railing were exactly in the right position on the launch and on the gangway."
