Jerry and Heidi
Your Captain and Chef
Captain Jerry Roos and Chef Heidi Roos met while in the Caribbean. They had both ended
up there for a reason: a desire to achieve the kind of success in the yachting industry
that they had respectively held in their previous fields. Brought together side by side at
the Tortola boat show, it was love at first sight. Although Jerry had been a professional
captain for seven years and Heidi a professional chef for five years, they confess to
having the most enjoyable times together. Now married for over six years, they compliment
one another even more as a team with over eleven years of chartering
experience.
They have both come to the same conclusion: working on a
yacht as a team is as important to its success as it is to a successful relationship.
Jerry is very calm and easy going. he has the ability to converse on many topics and on
all levels. In addition to his sailing abilities, he can draw upon over 10 years of
experience owning an automotive repair company to fix any mechanical or electrical
problems.
Boating since a boy, Jerry set the goal of becoming a professional captain in 1984.
Aware that more than a license is required to navigate the oceans safely, Jerry has taken
instruction along the way in everything from safety and first aid to celestial navigation.
After receiving his first license in 1990, he proceeded to work his way up to the 100 ton
master he now holds.
With experience in everything to do with yachting from overseeing the construction of
two yachts and the complete refit of another, combined with the experience that nearly
50,000 ocean miles brings, Jerry has proven himself an able seaman.
Heidi is friendly and congenial. What's more her cooking will win you over! Besides
Heidi's graduation from the Culinary Institute of America to her credit she also has a
number of articles, including her recipes, published in Gourmet Magazine. A keen swimmer
and snorkeler, Heidi had the rewarding experience in the summer of 1992 of saving a child
from drowning by applying CPR. For this she received an Outstanding Citizen award - quite
an honor for a British citizen in the United States.
Both Heidi and Jerry took a two month holiday in Europe recently and used is as an
opportunity to expand their views and Heidi's repertoire.
