Henry Milam

Raised in the Houston area, Henry Milam has been sailing for 45 years, beginning on Clear Lake with a small boat before NASA or much else was there.  He raced small boats for many years and has chartered in the Caribbean.  Teaching is his life, as he retired early as a professor and dean from a university in Iowa and moved back to Texas four years ago.  Through the years he has taught various boating courses for the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons.  In addition to his ASA certifications to teach Basic Keelboat, Basic Coastal Cruising, Coastal Navigation and Bareboat Chartering, he holds a U.S.C.G. 100 ton Master license.  He lives on a 41-ft. sailboat in a nearby marina.
