Leah Randall is a Coral Bay resident with a deep-rooted passion for the history of St John. After visiting the island as a teenager, Leah returned to make St. John her home over 14 years ago. Leah followed her father, who had a scuba diving business back in the 2000’s in Coral Bay. Before making St. John her permanent home, Leah’s professional experience in the States spanned education, history and work with the private and public sector. Leah has found great meaning in integrating her strengths and experience into her endeavors on St. John. Her extensive knowledge encompasses the area’s shipwreck history as well as its pre-Columbian, colonial and slave history, up through more modern history making her a valuable resource for the community. Leah owns with her husband, Colin Hanson, FlyAway Charters and their rental/retail store, Pirate’s Cove. Leah and Colin have made both companies committed to the preservation and awareness of local history. While Leah enjoys many aspects of her work, she particularly enjoys allowing her creativity to flourish in ways that help achieve a goal. In addition to her historical pursuits, Leah has previously served as Commodore of the Coral Bay Yacht Club, chair for the day charter board for VIPCA, and has devoted countless hours to nonprofit work and fundraising for various causes on the island. She currently is Vice Co-Commodore of CBYC and is honored to now serve on the board of St. John Historical Society. Her commitment to preserving and sharing the rich heritage of Saint John is evident in all her endeavors.
