Sea People co-founder and CEO Taking a season off cruising this year to work on SeaPeople, but 20 years of boating adventure before this. Fixed up a boat and took off to go sailing at 18 after a wild childhood. Broke off the mast en-route to the Caribbean. Never looked back. Worked in the boating industry in various ways ever since. As a professional yacht captain, racer wannabe , sailing school owner, racer wannabe, and marine film/tv work. In love with this community. Never want to work outside of boats. Co-created YCA with my wife Caroline out of a passion for bringing people together. Cruised the N Atlantic between Maine and Grenada for a few seasons. Panama and the canal 3 times. Lots of really dumb deliveries at really bad times of year when I was young and trying to prove myself in the wrong ways. Now enjoying most our time in Abaco while the kids are little and the shoulders are still able to surf. Stoked to meet all the other Sea People out there.
Trophies
In a world full of wake surfing… kinda funny (and awesome) to hear the boys (4 and 7) begging to ski. Luckily there was a mini pair of skis laying around. Super fun weekend as always. The lake was the center of our world as kids. You head for the sea for years, and only after decades somehow realize that it was all there, there whole time, on a lake close to home.
The waterways were a mess all day. As expected. Had a sunrise fish with the boys then avoided mid-day as much as possible.
Cast net and pajamas is all you need
Absolutely perfect spot for the kids to boogie board and surf little clean waves wrapping around the inlet. Just gotta roll through Camp Legeune and not go above high mark… or else! 😂 I actually think they are kinda chill about the barrier islands that are part of the military base, but not gonna push the limit. You can see the fake ranks and all kinds of practice targets for air and ground weapons. This section of water does close down during live fire activities.
Worked through some creeks out to Bear inlet where the water was bahamas clear and warm on the incoming tide. Definitely need at least 3/4 tide to get through some of the skinny spots. But a paradise unlocked for the kids
Overdue haul-out. We’ve been in the water since we splashed in December of 2022 after our restoration. Never intended to be in this long, but when we found a covered slip, we opted for no rain and no sun for storage, but staying in the water. I still think it was the right call. The boat looks incredible (after washing the dust off). The last picture is embarrassing. But I had the diver stop diving the boat in April since we knew we were coming out. Holy shit I had no idea we would get that kind of growth that fast!!! The water is bath water warm here already. And we have been so busy with SeaPeople we are unfortunately not using the boat at all in the last year, so the wheels don’t turn and the water doesn’t flow over the hull. Boats shouldn’t sit. Period.
No tears today. He really wanted to get on the boat which is a big win compared to a couple days ago. Brent is quite high functioning in the Down syndrome spectrum, and sometimes you lose track of his disability and your own expectations. But today was big. His smiles, his conquering of fears… it was all inspiring.
Seems like the waving crabs is part of courtship for fiddler crabs. Never seen it before. And WTF is a goBoat??
The mission: get Caroline uncle, a 55 year old man with Down Syndrome who’s petrified of boats, out on the water. There were a lot of tears, a lot of encouragement and a successful ending. He was dancing by the end. Maybe cried again when it was time to get off but hey, hopefully a step towards him getting out more regularly.
