The Crew
Captain Jon Baker
Born in 1961
US Coast Guard 100 Ton Master (Since 1986)
I started sailing when I was about 8 years
old and I have worked my way up to the big
boats over the years. I have made passages
from Alaska south and across the Pacific
to Hawaii before getting married to my wife,
Jeannette, and dropping anchor (so to speak)
in the San Juans.
Aboard
"Northwind" most of my time is
spent between navigating/maintaining our
Catalina 50 and helping out in the galley,
as I love to cook. I also am happy to go
on hikes or point you in the right direction.
I enjoy teaching people to steer the boat
and handle the sheets, but I am happy to
do it all if you want to relax. I really
love catching all the fresh local seafood
we have in our local waters, and I will
share my local knowledge with you.

My
undergraduate studies were in Salmon Fisheries
and Marine Biology so I am happy to educate you
about our local marine critters. I think you will
find I
have a great sense of humor and enjoy a good joke.
I also love Jimmy Buffett's music so If you're
a fan we will get along great. Jeannette and I
take great pride in introducing our guests to
our magical area and seeing the joy of their discoveries.
After 16 years experience in crewed charters we
think we have assembled the finest sailing yacht
and the best crew in the islands. Come see for
yourself...

Jeannette "Jette" Baker
Born 1964
US Coast Guard 100 Ton Master
Chef Extraordinaire, galley dancer and guitar/ukelele
player
Jon and I work
together well as a team. Where Jon's strengths
end, mine begin. For example, I tell a MUCH better
joke and he will never be caught baking a batch
of cookies! I've been sailing with Jon for over
17 years and acquired my Coast Guard Masters license
in 2000. We thought it beneficial to have a "backup
Captain" and also so we could branch out
into Women Only trips.
So grab 5 girlfriends and come along for a great
time! I tend to live in the galley where I prepare
three meals a day. People ask if I like to cook,
and I answer that what I love is feeding people.
I enjoy providing the gift of a delicious meal
and enjoying it together, complete with candlelight.
What could be better than that? Some of my specialties
include cranberry nut scones, crab cakes, fresh
made pasta, and many things with chocolate!
Another one of my unique contributions is as a
trail running guide. I strap on my running shoes
at least twice during the week and love having
someone along to share the pain! If you enjoy
singing, I usually have at least one instrument
handy to make music with and I love singing duets!
Another thing I enjoy is playing games. So as
long as I'm not dancing in the galley preparing
some tasty treat, then grab me for Scrabble or
a card game. I don't even mind if I lose! (Jon
enjoys playing cards and dominoes, too)

Dog and Dandie Dinmont Terrier. Chief tail wagger

main job is being cute and cleaning the galley
floor of tasty crumbs." In case you're wondering,
having our dog as part of the crew is strictly
optional!
