SSC SPOTLIGHT ⛵ Captain Shyah Miller
Wondering where Captain Shyah has been this season? She’s had a pretty good excuse.
Shyah spent three months working as a deckhand aboard SV Sea Dragon, a 72-foot expedition sailing yacht originally built for the Global Challenge Race. She sailed 3,273 nautical miles from Key West to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, with stops in Bermuda, Charleston, New York, Newport, Halifax and more.
“I love not carrying my phone everywhere, seeing rainbows in the spray and the fiery burn in my arms after grinding the headsail through a tack. I love figuring out how to be more efficient, improving on who I was the day before and learning constantly.”
From offshore passages to puffins, whales and a dockside welcome of warm croissants in Saint Pierre, it was quite the adventure.
We’re excited to have Captain Shyah back at SSC and bringing a few more sea miles and stories with her. ⛵

The next two Sistership Sails are on the calendar, and we'd love to see you there.
Join Captain Sarah for an evening on the water with a community of women who love to sail and support each other along the way.
Whether it's your first time stepping aboard or you're looking to build confidence at the helm, Sistership is a welcoming space to learn, ask questions and grow your skills without pressure.
Open to women and non-binary sailors of all experience levels, these evenings are about more than sailing. They're about building confidence, making new friends and enjoying time on the water together.
