LEE ADAMS – Captain, S/Y Segundo Viento
(Mariner. Weather-Whisperer. Keeper of Secret Anchorages.)
Legend has it Lee Adams was raised by the wind itself on the Cape Town peninsula of South Africa — though official records suggest it was under the guidance of his grandfather, Admiral Tom Hardiman of the South African Navy. From a young age, Lee was taught the ancient maritime arts: sailing fast, sailing smart, and knowing exactly when not to argue with the ocean.
His first transoceanic crossing took place in 1999, sailing from Cape Town to Antigua aboard a racing sloop — a vessel built for speed, not comfort.
(Side note: Lee still considers this “a nice warm-up.”)
After proving his mettle in Caribbean regattas, Lee was invited aboard the legendary schooner Tree of Life, a classic beauty rigged with eight entirely manual sails — the kind that demand teamwork, strength, and a healthy relationship with blister tape. Following a full circumnavigation of the globe, Lee assumed command as Captain.
*(Side note: No mutiny recorded. In fact, morale reportedly improved.)
For over a decade, Lee has roamed the Caribbean, eventually settling in the Lesser Antilles where he became something of a local institution. His knowledge of the region is spoken of in hushed tones: hidden coves, secret beaches, untouched reefs, and anchorages that don’t appear on charts. Weather systems tend to part politely when he’s nearby.
(Side note: This cannot be scientifically proven. Yet.)
As Captain of Segundo Viento — the very first Privilege 640 — Lee is both guardian and guide. Onboard, the atmosphere is a carefully calibrated blend of adventure and ease. Everything runs smoothly, guests feel instantly at home, and stress mysteriously vanishes somewhere between the first sail hoist and the second sunset.
Lee is endlessly active and happiest when wet — sailing, swimming, diving, paddleboarding, or launching himself enthusiastically into the sea “just to check something.” His humour is dry, his timing impeccable, and his sea stories legendary (accuracy varies by sunset).
(Side note: The fish were definitely bigger.)
What truly sets Lee apart is his ability to make guests feel like they’ve discovered something rare: a captain who is deeply professional, quietly brilliant, and effortlessly fun. Time onboard Segundo Viento has been known to warp — days blur, worries dissolve, and guests often forget where their shoes are.
Meet Lee Adams and you’ll understand why he captains Segundo Viento. Sail with him and you’ll leave with sun-kissed skin, unforgettable memories, and a sneaking suspicion that you’ve just been part of a very good sea story — one you’ll be telling for years.
(Final side note: Yes, it really was that good.)
