Talented touring singer/songwriter/story teller/recording artist, book author and competitive sailor/surfer Marc Borde joined Discovery Channel Galactic Guy & SCENE Magazine Publisher John Ennis and Army veteran, Extreme Watersport Competitor and JET SURF HOUSTON Founder Jordan Davlin in the JetSurf Houston studio along the north shore of Clear Lake in the heart of the Waterfront Capital of Texas for the second Episode of Weekends On The Water. "The Ocean is my Playground. Music is my Passion,” according to the Trinidad & Tobago-born Borde’ whose interest in sailing was sparked after a two-week Caribbean island-hopping adventure at age 13. He quickly picked up as much sailing knowledge and experience as possible and before long was winning regattas, took first place in his Texas youth racing circuit, and was competing nationally on various single-handed racing dinghies. But his plans of one day sailing in the Olympics shifted toward a career in music as he reached young-adulthood. Most recently, Borde toured the country many times over as the front man and namesake of his Reggae/Folk group “That Captain” creating fun, original, dance music with a signature style that “blends reggae, bluegrass and jammy flavors.” Borde has been writing and performing music for years with super popular bands such as “Shark Attack” and “Cassette Tape.” In 2011, he formed a three-person all-star band appropriately named “The Crew” which recorded an album on a 26-foot sailboat before touring 300-miles off the Texas coast on that same boat playing 33 shows in 38 days. Borde authored a special-edition book (CD included) about this one-of-a-kind tour by only boat and bicycles named “Guitar Strings & Sailboat Things” which sold out three press runs. There is a rumor a collector's edition coffee table book version is in the works. Most recently, Borde has been based along the Northern California coast in Humboldt Bay where he has been completing construction of a 55-year-old, 50-foot trimaran that until last year had never touched water for an even more ambitious music tour of the entire planet Earth by boat. Plans for another book and to have this tour televised worldwide are already in motion. Borde is full of experiences from one day hearing his song prominently in a Hollywood movie without his knowledge, to completing a musical tour by sailboat, to being given a basically abandoned unfinished 50-foot trimaran from a French singer following a chance encounter and getting it seaworthy.
