Description
Jack was a dear friend relaxing in the late afternoon, sitting on the "dock of the bay". He had a zest for life and tried hard to make sure everyone around him was enjoying life as much as he was.
He grew up in New Orleans and on the Mississippi River. His family owned a tug boat company and he became "Captain Jack" at a young age. He has graciously sailed us to the barrier islands in his 46' sailboat Tahiti many times.
Interestingly he was also "a Jack of all trades". Growing up on boats he learned to be self sufficient on and off the water. He was a craftsman with wood, a mechanic with engines of all varieties and an all around fix it man.
It's always smooth sailing now for Captain Jack, may my dear friend rest in peace.

What an attitude, I can see why someone wanted! Love his face stubble and big grin.

Laura, meet Captain Jack! He owns the sailboat that I have photographed so many times.

Great shot Kathy! Love the B&W for sure. I'd like to have a beer with this guy, such a genuine smile.~DUG

Thanks, DUG. As a matter of fact, I had a beer with him today! Jack owns the sailboat with the Green and Blue Sail.

Looking for his sailboat???
Kathy K McClellan replied:
All of my sailing photos were taken on his boat. Sorry about not having a photo of the entire boat under sail....I haven't figured out how to take a photo of the outside of the boat while being ON the boat! :)

Looks like a fun guy
Kathy K McClellan replied:
He is. Took us on our first sail. I'll be posting some pics from his sailboat in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
