Meet The Crew – True Alaskan Sailors

Blain

Capt. Blain Anderson loves to show off Alaska. His sailing credentials include over 20 years of boating and sailing experience in Alaskan saltwater and he holds a 50-ton US Coast Guard Masters License. Over the years, he has acquired a lengthy resume of leading trips to some of the wildest and most remote country in Alaska. Trained as a biologist, Blain loves Alaska’s amazing wild-ness, and he enjoys interpreting its natural history on hikes and flipping rocks on beach walks. He also loves to catch fish, crab, and shrimp enjoys sharing salmon and halibut recipes fresh from the grill. He’s fun, but man, his jokes are corny.

 

Monique

Monique Anderson has hiked, skied, and boated around the wilds of Alaska for decades now.  In 2009, she took a two-year break from Landscape Architecture to sail the Inside Passage with Blain in their 33′ pilothouse sloop Oystercatcher.  Monique loves hiking and kayaking, and sharing her passion for photography and a deep knowledge of Alaskan ecosystems, with guests. Be forewarned, she sometimes enjoys ‘bushwhacking’ along the the paths less traveled.  You’ll enjoy her enthusiasm and charm as she prepares fantastic meals, particularly mouth-watering desserts and other goodies.  Together, she and Blain provide a unique and unforgettable Alaskan experience aboard Sailboat BOB.

 

 

 

 

History of Sound Sailing

alaska sailing expertsBlain and Monique purchased Sound Sailing and the legendary S/V BOB in 2012 from Rick Fleischman. We promise to keep running the BOB to the standards Rick and Jen Price have set over the last twenty-five ought years. They built a great business and we are incredibly lucky to call them for advice; but also to call them our friends (though don’t tell anyone).
