History
Established in 2010.
Rich Miller (The Idle Rich) spent ten years living aboard his 36′ sailboat, EAGLE sailing from Chicago to the Atlantic and south to the Caribbean. During this time he circled the Caribbean Sea almost every year, spending the hurricane season off the coast of South America, returning to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in December. After logging 30,000 sea miles he returned to his home in Alexandria. He began teaching sailing on 22′ Catalinas at the U.S. Naval Base, Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico in 1993, liking it so much that he’s been teaching ever since. In 2010 he dicided to form his one-man company, calling it Sail The Seas.
What you get is personalized instruction from a guy who loves to sail. As one student wrote «Thank you so much for your patience in taking us sailing and teaching us this weekend. We all had a lot of fun and Ken and I agree that you are an inspiring role model. (We liked your stories about hiding out from the hurricanes in the mangrove swamps).»
