Welcome to the crew pages of Mad Dog Voyager.

This is the Crew page for the scurvy dogs that call Mad Dog Voyager home. Although we know who we are, and the people we know who know us also know that we know who we are but it's the people that don't know us, haven't met us or maybe have never met the people we know who know that we know who we..... Oh, this is getting too complicated - just read on and find out about us.

Mad Dog Voyager & Crew

Mad Dog Voyager is a 40' CR Yachts 400DS pilothouse sailing yacht. Although we live aboard Mad Dog Voyager full time, 365 days a year on the water, the boat has a Port of Registration in Alberta, Canada. Being landlocked with the Canadian Rocky Mountains situated between Alberta and the Pacific Coast, you will understand why we don't sail to our Port of Registry very often...

Mad Dog Voyager is crewed by two "Mad Dogs" & Fang the Bengal cat. Life on board is generally relaxed and laid back. After spending many years working long, hard hours, we are now enjoying some of the benefits of our labors. Onboard there are no hard and fast rules concerning position or job duty. Anybody can be Captain for the day, just rush out first thing in the morning, straight out of bed, grabs onto the helm (steering wheel) and don't let go for fear of being ousted from the position. Other than that, nobody has set jobs or tasks. Whoever is handy and available when a job needs doing or if one person is more skilled or able to handle a job then that person does it. Whether there's a cleaning, scrubbing or other undesirable job to be done, it’s just done and gotten over with rather than put off until another time. Simple! Why make life more complicated with rules and duty rosters than it needs to be?

Introducing each member of the crew:

	Crew member #1: Dean (click photo for more info) In general Dean is responsible for the well-being of the crew and the many visitors on Mad Dog Voyager. Cooking and feeding the crew and the many guests on-board Mad Dog Voyager is a real change from being on land. There are supply limits that you learn to work around. This has gone extremely well, and often there are positive comments about some fresh baked bread, a special raisin & nut loaf, a deluxe dinner or a dessert that's been prepared on Mad Dog Voyager. Additionally, Dean takes on most of the challenges posed by the extensive on-board systems and electronics on board. Dean is always willing to lend a hand or offer advice (whether requested or not!) and carries on with a pretty happy and chipper attitude. Dean also does most of the fishing onboard and is pretty good at it!

	Crew member #2: Leo aka "Hawk" (click photo for more info) Leo usually Captains most of the journeys that we embark upon. While Dean tries to convince Leo to make more use of the instruments and electronics on board, Leo has an intuitive "feeling" when driving the boat and usually relies on what he "feels" that the boat wants to do. Whether under sail or motor Leo "becomes one" with Mad Dog Voyager. Also, with his creative talent and desire to use this creative talent Leo does most of the photography and has put together this entire website. Leo always carries an incredibly positive and optimistic outlook on life. Although you hear the statements "no one has done that" and "nobody does it that way" Leo is always ready to buck the trend and do it his way - most times with success and positive results. (Hint: read the quotes on the bottom of our pages!) Hobbies: Graphics, Photography, Diving, Sailing, Music & Exploring Nature Leo's personal pages: Follow this link to visit my pages
	Crew member #3: Fang the Bengal Cat Fang is one of the full time crew members on board our sailboat Mad Dog Voyager. Fang is a Bengal cat who, on the high seas, can be found either sleeping or hanging his head overboard watching the waves go by. He loves living onboard and "howls" when he has to leave the boat. True sailing blood runs in his veins.
