Alan (chef, captain, dive master) Alan's love of the water started early, on family sailing vacations on Cape Cod and Lake Huron in the North Channel, where you can find some of the best fresh water sailing in the world. Alan spent over 20 years in the restaurant & bar industry in Canada where he learned the fine art of cooking in some of the country's finest restaurants. Alan also worked as a bartender and club manager before opening his own nightclub in the Market area of the Nations Capital. Eventually Alan decided to trade the hustle and bustle of city life for the warm waters and relaxed paced of the Caribbean. Alan is now in his 15th season of chartering in the Virgin Islands and has learned all of her secrets to make your week the most amazing vacation ever. Randeen (chef, captain) USVI Charters Randeen grew up in the chilly prairie lands of the far north. One ridiculously cold day she thought to herself "there must be a warmer place to live" , so she quit her job, bought a ticket and moved to the islands (it helped that her children were grown and she had a job that she could do online). Randeen has worn many hats throughout her working career- but her favorite is now a beach hat. Randeen's experience in corporate event panning and customer service guarantees that even the smallest details of your vacation aboard Free Ingwe will be well planned for. Randeen's menu is best described as Caribbean comfort food- tried and true meals with island twist. She expertly adapts meals and menu's to meet a variety of dietary considerations. When not in the galley Randeen happily acts as cruise director/ tour-guide leading the way on island hikes, beach bar reconnaissance and retail therapy missions.
