Captain Heather’s love of being on the water began when she was a teenager when she had her first boat ride. She had always dreamed of sailing away on the sunset and her wish came true when she met David. Her experience ranges from extensive cruising and racing. She has been an avid boater with over 4500 miles of travel under her belt from Point Conception to Mexico including beautiful Santa Catalina Island.

As a child Heather was always curious and engaged with nature and plants. Her mother is a landscape designer and taught Heather to love gardening, and native plant  conservation. Heather spends lots of time reading, painting and drawing the flowers and foliage of any plant species she can photograph in Catalina. Heather has shared her love of nature and plants with her two adult daughters (22 and 25) they both appreciate and understand her love for Catalina. The island has a special place in Heather’s heart as it has some of the most varied and individual species of plants and animals in the Baja coastline which she can’t wait to share with you.
