| CREW PROFILES |  | | Captain: Leo Lynne | Nationality: US | | Number of Crew: 2 | | Crew Profiles: Profile - Leo Lynne
Capt. Leo was born and raised in New Jersey, and has been boating since the age of 15. He ‘‘grew up’’ in NYC, so when the University of Southern California presented him with a scholarship he traded cement for sand. With Catalina and Mexico so close, he enrolled in USC’s sailing and deepwater cruising program, and subsequently ended up teaching the courses. When his ‘‘real’’ degree was presented, he entered the world of finance and founded commercial lending offices in CA and NYC. He purchased a 42’ monohull and enjoyed cruising along the California Coast and competed in the Newport to Ensenada Yacht race. Though he put some hardware on the mantel he realized cruising was more his speed. With the 90hr work weeks beginning to lose their luster, he spent some time traveling Europe and accepted an invitation to sail a 44’ Lagoon from France to the US. Truly enamored with the boat and the lifestyle, he headed to his favorite playground - the Caribbean, and joined HYPNAUTIC as Captain. Leo has been coming to the Caribbean for 25 years and has sailed the entire island chain to Venezuela. His experiences have been life changing. His knowledge of the area, coupled with his island friendships, results in a very welcome feel wherever he goes. With stories from around the world and a love for entertaining, Leo has decided it was time to expand the ‘HYPNAUTIC experience’.

Profile - Amy Emel
With her mother’s Italian influence, preparing enticing meals is a passion for Amy. With the use of fresh, local ingredients and focus on detail, her meals often exceed the expectations of her guests. She loves the water and has been blessed to have grown up in Southern California. She also lived in the Chesapeake Bay area, the islands of the Azores and Florida’s Emerald Coast. She has sailed the HYPNAUTIC from St. Thomas to the Grendidines. The opportunity to combine both her passions of cooking and the water was enough for her to take a break from her career of nursing and share the islands with her guests.
