RJ AND LESLIE
Leslie has a zest for life and loves meeting new people. She believes that strangers are just friends that she hasn't met yet. She enjoys exercising, telling stories, traveling and planning the next adventure.
Leslie was born in Nebraska, grew up in Virginia and returned home to "The Good Life". This is where she met her husband R.J., at a Nebraska Football tailgate. Their first adventure together was to the British Virgin Islands where they fell in love with each other and the boating life.
Her real calling was to be a rockstar but instead she became a nurse :). Leslie worked in surgery, trauma and then as an Oncology nurse. More recently, she has joined R.J. in their business doing occupational nursing and safety training.
She is considered by many, as a rainmaker. She can take an idea and run with it.
She enjoys cooking for friends and family. She has taken the Rouxbe Culinary course, studied in Thailand and is attending Yacht Chef training in London.
Leslie has two children and one amazing grandchild.
R.J.'s purpose is to have fun and live a life of adventure with passion while inspiring others. He grew up in Lincoln, NE and obtained a BS degree from Oklahoma State University and now owns a business in his hometown.
He is often quoted as saying "we only live once, let's do it right". He loves a new adventure and really is a genuinely nice human. He is always smiling and willing to lend a helping hand, support, or a compliment. Leslie has often been asked if RJ really is as nice as he seems and the answer is undeniably, Yes! He really is.
R.J. enjoys outdoor activities, investing, real estate, golf and snow skiing and is also a pilot.
Sailing and boating have been a big part of R.J.'s life as he has lived on a lake for the last 22 years. With a motorboat and sailboat in the backyard, it has been a lifestyle rather than just a hobby.
RJ and Leslie have shared many adventures over the years including fun trips like the Oktoberfest in Munich, Songkran in Thailand and the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota. They too are very involved in multiple ongoing fundraisers and philanthropic activities.
Their boat BelieveN came from such travels. Her red “N” pays homage to their Nebraska roots. They named her BelieveN, as a reminder to Believe in yourself. Pursue your dreams. Know that you are worth it. Take the leap. Sing the song. Make friends. Live a life – don’t just live. And whatever else you put your mind to, just don’t stop BelieveN
Please come on down and experience the life in this magical part of the world with us!
Reviews
You both have given us a trip that we will never forget and will talk about for years to come. We will definitely be back to travel with you all again. Your story has been amazing to hear and such an inspiration to follow your dreams. We look forward to our next trip experiencing the beautiful USVI. You have hooked us on the yachting vacation!
Leslie, the food was absolutely delicious. It was beautiful to watch you both work with each other. We felt so taken care of, you were always asking if we needed anything. You both are absolutely a pleasure!
Thank you.
Thank you for giving us a delightful and unforgettable week in the USVI.
Both RJ and Leslie have been the most gracious crew we could ask for and hope to bring our kids back to join us for another trip.
Every activity was a blast from chillin' on the boat, to hikes, to going to dinner, to snorkeling - all of it ...super! I absolutely can't wait to come back SOON
Thank you for having us.
Things were “smooth sailing” all week long, even after we almost ran out of beer on day 3 lol… the crew made more appear in no time and we were “howling at the moon” again as we watched the sun set and the “almost” full moon appear each night!
And WOW! The views!!! Hard to explain, so you’ll need to see it for yourself… beautiful!
So as we begin our return to reality and the crazy we live in 2021, we can’t thank Jace and Mackenzie enough for allowing us to escape for a few days and just enjoy life… island life!
We shared our taste in food/drink as well as our taste in music with each other and learned a lot!
We hope our hosts enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed theirs. Hopefully they can find their own getaway to Kentucky so we can return the hospitality. Either way, we are grateful and we will remember this trip to these islands forever!´
A great week above and below the water. Jace was a great dive partner and Mackenzie had amazing meals! A week in paradise.
After a year of longing to go somewhere (anywhere) it turns out we chose the perfect vacation. Jace and Mackenzie made everything fantastic. The meals , the cocktails, the games and sun. Mackenzie makes a perfect margarita!
Kicking off the trip with a birthday cake for Alice was a love and beyond! Can´t wait to come back!
Words cannot express how grateful we are for this beautiful week! Jace certified our 12 year old to dive and showed us some incredible underwater wonders along the way. Between dives we had some lovely sails, fun tours on the sub wing, spike ball contests, snorkeled with turtles, hiked pretty view points, floated with drinks, paddle boarded and ate like kings.
Mackenzie catered to our preferences and prepared delicious meals. Some favorites included tuna poke bowl, shrimp ceviche, eggs benedict, beet hummus and key lime pie. She also makes a delicious margarita!
Jace and Mackenzie also made it possible for us to meet up with friends several times along the way. We met several other families at Lime Out and anchored along the corner for the kids to mix it up with some water sports and the adults to enjoy sundown. They made it possible for us to meet up with others for beach games, cocktails on each other boats and dinner at Lavango.
We enjoyed every minute with these beautiful people and this beautiful place!
Jace was an excellent dive instructor and we had a great time exploring the reefs (finding different kinds of fish, turtles, eels, sharks, etc) We are excited to be scuba certified. Jace also was a great subbing driver :)
Mackenzie always made us feel welcome, and we loved all of our meals, snacks and cocktails. She made everything seem seamless, which made the vacation carefree.
This is a vacation that we will never forget. WE loved getting to know Jace and Mackenzie. We hope to sail with them again in the future!
