Captain Lynn Griffiths       -    English    -    Owner Operators                                 Pacific Wave History

Lynn was born in Cheshire but spent all her time by the sea in a small coastal town in North Wales. From as early as she can remember she was on the water in some boat or another.

A career in professional accounting took her away from her first love of sailing but she requalified  with commercial sailing license and has been sailing full time for many years, most of them as Skipper of medium to large yachts.

She has intimate knowledge gained from years of experience of both Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing which includes both island cruising and full on racing.  Lynn and Mark met at Antigua Race Week in 2004 and have been sailing ever since.

As a keen golfer and accomplished horsewoman she has an uncanny ability to find the best anchorages close to the best golf courses and the best stable yards. 

Chef: Mark Miles     English

Mark’s home county of Dorset in South West England was a good place to grow up and become involved in both sea and farming and, after his partner Lynn, it’s not surprising that his main passions are sailing and food.

Mark has sailed almost everything and now holds commercially endorced Ocean Master tickets, both for sailing and power vessels. He is also and airplane pilot and likes to bring the discipline of flying to his every day job as a professional sailor.

After a degree in Agriculture he farmed in Portugal and the UK.  This brought him close to food preparation as well as food production and has worked on road shows with some of the most renouned celebrity Chef’s of today. His style is tinged with global influences but mix Southern Mediterranean light cooking with classic cuisine and an intimate knowledge of quality fresh local ingredients.

Mark speaks fluent Portuguese having been a farmer growing vegetables and raising sheep in South West Portugal for six years. He also speaks Spanish and French.
