The Captain

My name is Bruce Johnson. I've been around boats all my life. Ski boats, canoes, kayaks, multihulls, dinner cruise vessels, sailboats and even a 70ft paddle wheeler.  I've sailed boats in the Caribbean, Hawaii, the east coast, the Great Lakes, Canada and yes, Walker Minnesota.  I have my 100 ton  Coast Guard Master Captains license with a sailing endorsement.  I've run  many boats but sailing is my first love. In my Captaining career I have had many people tell me "This has been a bucket list item of mine".  It's a lot of fun to watch the enjoyment on people's faces when they are fulfilling such a dream. Whether you are just riding and enjoying the sights or want to actually help run the boat, you will find sailing to be a unique and very satisfying experience.
It is a great feeling sailing a vessel close hulled and being in the groove (sailing terms). Or sailing on a reach and squeaking all of the speed out of a sailboat that you can get.  I am very excited about the opportunity to show people such as yourself around Leech Lake on this beautiful vessel and sharing my passion for sailing with you. As well as imparting a little bit of my knowledge about Leech Lake and Walker Minnesota.
