OUI CHERIE

Born in San Diego, California, I grew up sailing and offshore sport fishing Southern California, as well as the Pacific Northwest (between Coos Bay and Roseburg, OR) where I spent summers. In 1982, I purchased and lived on my first sailboat, an Ericson 35' Sloop, in San Diego, leading to a passion for sailing that pointed my compass to St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. In 1995 shortly after hurricane "Marilyn" had destroyed the island. Regardless of the destruction and debris, I immediately fell in love with the beauty of the V.I., its people, and the lifestyle. Being a general contractor at the time, I immediately shipped my truck and tools from San Diego and began to re-build homes and businesses on St. Thomas and St. John for the next ten years. As a result, I had an amazing opportunity to work and play, on multiple charter and pleasure yachts, both sail and power, with some of the best people and mariners in the industry. Also, as a result, I have a lifetime of marine mechanical, electrical, diesel and outboard engine repair, as well as general yacht maintenance and management. I have been from Alaska to Costa Rica, including the Hawaiian islands on the Pacific, and Maine to the U.S.V.I. on the Atlantic. I have worked my way through the ranks from deckhand to first mate, chef, engineer, and then finally captain, and will thankfully continue to learn daily sharing and enjoying the beauty of Seas!
