From Crew to Captains
Zander and I have been dreaming about starting a program on our own boat together, for many years. Zander grew up in Antigonish, Nova Scotia and I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, both of us sailing- just on different bodies of water. When we met in Los Angeles working at the Los Angeles Maritime Institute we were doing what we love most, sailing and working with kids! From L.A. we both went in different directions but our dreams stayed ever present. Zander spent some time working on Tweedsmuir, and I continued sailing with students on Lady Maryland. With the time apart we found that we really wanted to be sailing together working toward the goal of owning our own boat. That winter and the following one we sailed on the sailing cargo vessel Kwai together delivering cargo to remote islands of the South Pacific, an incredible opportunity sailing together and exploring the world. This past year Zander and I once again found ourselves sailing on two different bodies of water; Zander on Bluenose II and I again on Lady Maryland. During these many months by phone and e-mail we found and bought a boat and started a business!
