Kevin Nash

Co-CAPTAIN

I was born in a small town in Iowa and raised in the Midwest before settling in St. Louis, Missouri after graduation from university. I have always had a love of the water beginning as a child houseboating on the Mississippi with friends of my parents. My first sailing experience was on a 19’ Lighting named “Lightning Bug”, of course. As an adult I then shifted to power boats with a long series of fishing, ski, wake and cruisers. After visiting Vancouver in the late 1990s, I knew the West Coast would one day be my home and in 2005 I moved to British Columbia. The Pacific Northwest reintroduced me to sailing as well as to the woman who would become my co-captain in life, Carla. I am the techy on board, keeping all things electronic going….in between smoking my beloved cigars.

Carla Nash

Co-CAPTAIN

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan where I completed my education before heading out to the West Coast. Spending summers growing up dinghy sailing, I was excited about moving to Vancouver and trying ocean sailing with the dream of living on a boat full time. After many chilly afternoons, I sought the comfort of a sailboat over a dinghy and started to crew on racing boats. Along came my co-captain and the dream turned into reality when we decided to transition to full-time sailors. I am the contortionist and mechanic on board, maneuvering into small spaces to fix plumbing, electrical and other boat issues…. enjoying a little Jack Daniels after the completion of my tasks.

Samantha and Dean

Our Furry crew

First there was Sam and then we decided our little Devon Rex needed a partner in crime……enter Dean. The hardest decision was naming Sam’s little buddy and it seemed Dean was a natural choice since her parents are fans of the Winchester brothers from the “Supernatural” series. Sam continues to be our boat diva queen and Dean, our easy-going little dude. They are our faithful crew who have adapted to boat life at the dock and at sea. Although they cannot manage the wheel, they have mastered the buttons on the autopilot and are always close to their peeps during watches.
