In the Wheelhouse

Avast ye landlubbers and prepare to be boarded! Seems about the right caption for this somewhat scary looking guy, right? Well, looks can be deceiving! The man at the podium is Capt. John Aydelotte, a Vessel Assist company owner from Whidbey Island, Washington.

Capt. John is one of the unique personalities in our business. He's been assisting boaters on the west coast since 1978 and running his own boatyard as well.

But, what's with the spyglass? Well, Capt. John likes to style himself as rather salty, with just a dash of pirate thrown in for good measure. So, when John was retiring from C-Port's Board of Directors at this year's annual conference, the association presented him with a spyglass worthy of his image!

Many thanks for your years of service to C-Port and our industry, Cap. We all appreciate the work you've done, and continue to do for the association.
