Meet The Crew

Mike

As soon as I learned about the Great Loop, I was hooked. We traded in our fishing boat for a scenic trawler and I’ve been upgrading it for the last two years.  

I am the VP of Sales for a midsized metal fabricating company in Chicago. I’ve gone from working in the office, to working at home in Texas and now making the switch to my floating office, Wishes!

Kelly

After a long successful career, I traded in my corporate pumps for a pair of boat shoes. I’m very excited about our new adventure. I have a lot to learn about boating but am ready to get started.

Jennifer

Hey y’all! I am 24 years old, and will be a full time crew member aboard Wishes. I was living in Corpus Christi, Texas teaching preschool but, when my parents asked if I wanted to come with on their adventure it was pretty much a no brainer… Take a year off from adulting and travel, sign me up!

Follow me on my social media for more and to keep up with our trip!


Michael

Hello, I am 20 and a student at Texas Tech. I am a Mechanical Engineer major, and hope to some day design race car parts. I spent the summer, working down in the engine room of Wishes to help my parents get ready to leave for their trip. I’m super excited for them and hope to fly out and join them when I can.

Harley

Hey I’m Harley! I’m a 4 year old Maltese/Poodle mix. I’m a total mama’s boy, and go wherever she goes. So, if Jen’s going boating so am I! The Great Loop is going to be so much fun and I can’t wait to go! I love to cuddle and play with my tennis balls and dinosaur stuffed animal. I’m excited to play and spend time with my best friends Bonnie and Teddy. Check out my instagram for more!


Teddy

My name is Theodore, but everyone calls me Teddy. I am a miniature poodle, I love to cuddle and give kisses to my family. My favorite thing to do on the boat is to lay out on the bow and sunbathe. My least favorite thing about boating is rough seas, I get a little seasick sometimes. But overall I am excited just to be along for the ride.

Bonnie

Hey! My name is Bonnie. I am a Maltese/Poodle mix. I am full of energy and love. When I’m on the boat I love to chase my brother Teddy around the gunnels of the boat (the walk around). I am most excited about getting to make new friends and spend time with my family out on the water.
