Captain Red, aka Michael, by his mother and teachers...was born to be at sea. Red has worked in the Bahamas since 1999 on the Sea Fever and joined the BB family in 2004. He is a great cook and loves all that is Bahamian. He hates being tied to the dock, prefers the waves and salt air any day. Red was born 200 years too late as he would have made an awesome pirate :-)!
