Silver Moon Sailing

Your Captain, Bob White has been sailing since the age of twelve when he first learned to crew on racing dinghies with his father at the helm. He has lived and sailed in many interesting locations including England, Alaska, Chesapeake Bay, Caribbean, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama and his adopted home state of Texas. He has booked passage on a tramp steamer in the Med, kayaked amongst whales and glaciers in Alaska, fly fished the mountain rivers of Colorado, Arkansas and Texas and rafted down the Rio Grande in New Mexico. Trained, as a teenager, at the Outward Bound Sea School in Moray Firth, Scotland, Bob has sailed more boats than he can remember including a 131 foot three-masted barque in the North Sea, a 71 foot solid mahogany yawl around the Isle of Wight, a folk boat in the Chesapeake, delivered yachts in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean and now is thrilled to share with others the joys of sailing in what is considered by many to be the premier sailing waters of the world.

A sailor, singer/musician, writer, first class cook and proud father and grandfather, Capt. Bob is an easy going, patient team leader who thrives on bringing you the very best sailing experience aboard one of the most beautiful yachts in the Islands, and he may just play you a tune one moonlit night….if you ask!

Capt. Bob holds a USCG Master license with sail endorsement, STCW 95 endorsement and is trained in first aid and CPR.  You are in good hands on Silver Moon!

Your Chef/mate is Mary Asa-Power.  Mary claims Colorado as home but has been in the islands now for six years and says she may have seen all the mountains and snow she cares to in this lifetime.  Mary has been cooking for others most of  her life, has run a catering business providing full service party planning in Aspen, headed the operation of a hospital kitchen in her hometown of Glenwood Springns, CO and cooked in a high mountain Elk hunting camp for as many as twelve hungry hunters at a time. You will be amazed at the wonders that come out of the galley when Mary is working her magic.  She is an avid diver and snorkeler and enjoys guiding you through some of the finest reef sites in the world.  Mary is proud grandma to three super youngsters with whom she maintains regular contact.  Mary holds an STCW - safety at sea - certification and is trained in first aid and CPR.

Your singing captain!!
