Meet the crew!
Captain Jean Paul (JP): Your Captain aboard Source of Wander was raised in a Sea-faring Family. Having grown up in and around the Sea, JP’s affinity for sailing is in his blood. His first voyage with his father at age 6 cemented his love for all things Sea, Sailing and Ships. Decades later, Paul, was also so very fortunate be able to complete his father’s last voyage on the Sea, together, as father and son, a memory of a lifetime.
Rest assured you are in the best of care with Captain Paul. As his USCG License reads, Master of Sail, Steam & Motor Upon Oceans and Unlimited Pilots from Galveston Sea Buoy to the Houston Ship Channel Turning Basin, Capt. Paul is always willing and ready to share his knowledge with guests on board.
After 27 years as a State commissioned Houston Ship Pilot moving over 12,000 ships, he retired to his 46’ catamaran with his wife, Donna. Retirement did not last long as his friends and cohorts continued to want to sail with them. Paul hauled himself out of retirement in order to share his love of the water. He enjoys turning people on to the beauty, the jewels of the Virgin Islands, and some his favorite secret hideaways!. As Capt Ron famously iterated, “If its gonna happen…its gonna happen out there! Now let’s get out there!” Can’t wait to see you “out there” aboard Source of Wander.
Chef Ashley: Ashley was born in Pennsylvania. Here she attended school, where she cultivated her passion for music and played classical violin in the local chamber orchestra. During her sophomore year she moved to Virginia, finishing out her scholastic career and working several different jobs including but not limited to LifeGuarding, as well as various food service jobs. Loving nature, the Appalachian trail is where she went and hiked after graduation. It was on the trail that Ashley found her beloved four legged friend, Majik, whom she still loves to this day.
Ashley soon became the parent of a wonderful daughter and in her new parenthood moves into a home in Virginia to raise her daughter and continue her work pursuing greatness in the restaurant industry. After raising her daughter and being ready for a change, Ashley sought a move that would give her the opportunity to use her honed skills in a meaningful way, and thus in the fabulous Florida keys she landed. After working in the restaurant industry the last fifteen years, becoming an Eco marine kayak and paddleboard tour guide was the perfect way to kick back and give back to those who also enjoy nature conservatorship. While providing fun, informative and
interactive Eco marine tours through the FL keys mangroves, Ashley found her way to the charter boat industry. Indeed you can rest
assured that your meals will be nothing shy of consistent elegance, no less than the atmosphere and the service she provides on your next trip on board Source of Wander.
