Captain Bertie -
Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he's off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious—whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.
Chef Michelle -
Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as their backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkeling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.
