Meet The Team
Captain Bud
Captain Bud is our Chief Captain. He is a US Coast Guard licensed 100-ton captain with certifications from the American Sailing Association (ASA) in ASA101 - Basic Keelboat Sailing, ASA-103 Basic Coastal Cruising, ASA-104 Bareboat Cruising, ASA-105 Coastal Navigation, and ASA-114 Cruising Catamaran.
Captain Bud loves to travel, especially near the ocean to enjoy his favorite past times; sailing and scuba diving.
Captain Mir
Captain Mir (short for Miriam) is a US Coast Guard licensed 25-ton Captain with several ASA certifications. She is also a PADI Master Scuba Diving Instructor, and 5th degree blackbelt. Mir has worked for the Federal government on and off since 1984 and is currently counting down the final months until her retirement.
Passionate about the ocean and the creatures that thrive on it, Mir enjoys being First Mate more than Captain as this gives her time to interact with the guests and discuss local history and the impact we have on our water environment. As an ordained independent officiant, and wedding planner, Mir is available to officiate your wedding and host your onboard reception. Her goal is to ensure you walk away with positive memories of your experience on Follow That Dream.
Deck Hand Melody
Melody has been a wonderful addition to our crew. She is extremely attentive to our guests and provides high quality customer service. She is learning the finer details of sailing and other aspects of chartering a luxury catamaran and is willing to jump in and help wherever needed. We are happy to have such a hard working and smart young lady as a team member.
