One Love- Owner's 1st Love

Crew Profile

One Love’s Leopard 46 primary team consists of Captain Wayne and Chef Jules which makes up
quite the impressive résumé between the two of them. Captain Wayne with over 40 years of
boat handling experience. Starting at the age of 10 where he recalls his dad purchasing a small
12-foot fishing boat from Sears to use in the coves of the local freshwater lakes. From there he
advanced to competing in bass fishing tournaments progressing to larger and faster boats. He
became a pilot at the age of 16, enlisted in the military at age 17 with his dad’s consent and
decided to go airborne where he learned Skydiving. Later he founded Eagle Flight Skydiving
where he spent years teaching in the civilian world earning every license available. He said that
alone didn’t really pay the bills, so he continued pursuing his education and eventually started
up a successful technology-based company. Which afforded him the opportunity to have
Manna built and move to the Caribbean full-time. With the encouragement from his wife, they
together founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called “Manna for Missionaries” to utilize
the Yacht in the off season, as a way of giving back. With so much more that could be added, it
would be extremely rare to find someone more knowledgeable and more diverse to carry you
on this Journey through the islands.
Chef Jules earned her bachelor’s degree in marketing from New Mexico State University. She
has enjoyed the highly rewarding experience of helping others find the homes of their dreams
for two decades as a real estate broker. In her spare time, she too discovered two true
passions she never realized: cooking and sailing. Which as crazy as it might sound lead her to
obtaining her Captain’s license along with the needed STCW certification to cross international
waters. This was just the start as it has given her the freedom to navigate countless Caribbean
islands over the last eleven years preparing amazing meals and entertaining Guest along the
way. Did I mention Jules owns 2 private yachts and is how she was able to accomplish all this?
She now employees a full-time crew aboard and believes that the crystal blue waters, gentle
breezes, colorful sunrises, and sunsets along with the freedom of sailing, brings a special peace
and tranquility to life. That blissful feeling becomes evident in all the dishes she prepares,
making your meals utterly delightful. Jules looks forward to sharing her spectacular menu with
a variety of delectable dishes, assuring an extraordinary culinary experience.
