CAPTAIN JACK & FIRST MATE TRICIA
Captain Jack Bell was born in Ontario, Canada but has been a citizen of the US since 1967. Captain Jack and his lovely wife Tricia are semi-retired from corporate life. The company they owned was a consortium of 1,200 travel agencies throughout the US and Canada. Much of their work was associated with the cruise line industry. They were VIP guests on the inaugural sailing of almost every new cruise ship built in the last ten years. Their work in the travel industry privileged them with being able to travel all over the world participating in seminars and meetings in many countries. They sold their company three years ago and are doing what they love, boating in Washington State and Southern British Columbia, Canada. Captain Jack and Tricia make great hosts and can turn a normal charter into a fun filled, warm and pleasant experience. The highlight of their summer is when their grandkids are on board and Jack takes them exploring in the tender. Captain Jack is a licensed Merchant Marine Captain. He is meticulous and conscientious about safety on board, which starts with a brief safety lecture at the beginning of each charter. He says “We have never had any close call with guest safety, and we are determined to keep it that way.”

First Mate Tricia Bell’s duties at their company were to manage the office and staff and from time to time lead groups of travel agency owners to places like the Caribbean, Mexico and Alaska. Most of these trips were on cruise ships. She now says that traveling by private yacht is far superior in many ways to cruising on cruise ships. Tricia was born in San Diego and attended college in San Francisco. Her greatest joy is taking our guests on shopping junkets in Victoria and other small towns we visit while cruising. She knows every specialty store and bargain in every port! Besides helping Captain Jack as First Mate with duties on the yacht, Tricia also assists Chef Mary in menu planning and recipe selections for each cruise. She is a fabulous cook herself - to prove it, just look at Jack’s waistline!



CHEF MARY
Chef Mary Polley has been aboard Morning Mist for several years. Mary is retired from being an office manager in Social Services for the state of California and has had many years of cooking for special groups. She now resides in Desert Hot Springs, CA.

Her warm personality and wonderful cooking skills adds to each charter. Her specialty is fabulous homemade desserts. Mary carefully reads the guest menu questionnaire forms before each cruise. She does a great job of making sure the guests have their favorite foods available during their charter.
