Ian is an MCA 200 ton Offshore Yacht Master. He also holds Marine Safety (STCW '95), Marine Advance First Aid and Advanced Open Water PADI dive certificates. He is currently working towards his PADI dive master qualification. Ian has been sailing and cruising for 16 years and enjoys all water sports. Growing up on the water in Ontario, Canada, he summered and sailed amongst Georgian Bay's 30,000 islands where he developed his strong sense for navigation and pilotage.

After obtaining an Earth Science degree from Canada's sailing capital, Halifax Nova Scotia, Ian returned to the Great Lakes to work as a Service Technician and to further explore Canada's best cruising grounds. After 5 years of work he took his savings and fixed up his beloved sailboat and set sail on an 18 month single-handed voyage from Canada's cold to the balminess and camaraderie of the cruising community along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard and then east to the Bahamas where he immediately fell for the turquoise water, diving, game and spear fishing.

Jody has studied advanced cuisine at the George Brown Culinary Institute in Toronto, Canada. She holds marine certificates in Safety (STCW '95) and Advanced First Aid.

Back in Canada she worked as a Human Resources Professional in the Automotive sector, a career that provided her with an opportunity to develop extremely strong customer service skills and the ability to perform in a very stressful and demanding environment. During these six years Jody's culinary skills were honed as she used cooking as her means of unwinding each night.

In 2005 Ian and Jody purchased another boat with a larger galley which they lived on as they worked their land-bound lives. Always sailing, cooking and entertaining and dreaming of a career that married both their passions. Their personalities already a successful union – Jody's boundless energy and spirit and Ian's adaptability, patience and practicality – a career as a crew only made sense.

In addition, a dive master is available to come out to the catamaran in a 22ft dive power yacht and assist certified divers with scuba diving.

Now, aboard Yes Dear, in the sun and warmth and consistent trade winds of the Beautiful British Virgin Islands let Ian and Jody share their passions with you!

Guest Comments:
Ian & Jody were awesome. They provided all that we asked for and some things that we didn't know to ask for. Ian was always willing to take us wherever we wanted to go and Jody's cooking was unbelievable. No need for restaurants.
