Andy's Dad Dennis taught Andy (and oftentimes Mia) everything he knows. Dennis started sailing in his mid-twenties with Andy's mom Gail - their honeymoon was to the Bahamas in the 70's with a captained charterboat. When they were just 28 and 30, they took off on an old Phil Rhodes-designed Chesapeake 32 and spent the winter cruising the Bahamas.

Dennis has sailed many thousands of bluewater miles. He has stood in as skipper over the years, and often joins our passages for the love of it. When he sails with us, Dennis quickly becomes the crew’s favorite person onboard, and we can’t blame them!
