My only previous reference to Corfu was Gerard Durrel’s My Family and Other Animals, where the lead character lived on the Island. For some reason the book stuck with me. We were lucky that for a 2-week period in July, we were docked in Corfu, right in the centre of the town and right…

A quick “pull in” to Bonifacio
Our Captain and Deck crew made a very impressive docking into the Port of Bonifacio for 24 hrs of playtime for the guests! Such a beautiful part of the Med. Watch our timelapse!
Albania- the most random fuel stop
Look, I’ve been to a couple of random spots in my life, but never more random than a fuel stop in Albania, of all places. We were in one of those fortunate positions, where our guests had jumped off for a rare few days. The crew were obviously elated, until we were told…
Eze- a french delight
I’d been to Eze before, probably about 4 years back. And it was just as magical then as it was the second time around. Last time, we omitted the walk up there, but this time, Bryce and I had the right shoes (and sunblock) on and we trekked from the bottom all the way to…
Bucketlist: Ireland
As I sit here in Antibes, at my favourite cafe, listening to music, tapping my leg to the beats and smiling from ear to ear, I have to be grateful once again to my wonderful Uppa. Apart from being one of the biggest influences on my life and one of the best people I have…
CRAZY turn of events…Bucketlist Moment
I can’t explain to you what the last 72 hours have been like, but I am going to try. I guess I should start at the beginning. When Bryce and I got offered a charter position and I threw it out to the universe that if we got a substantial tip I would make my…
Istanbul: Walk on the Wall.
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul. Alphonse de Lamartine You need to get out of the center. You need to walk the wall and look at both sides, soaking in the vastness and greatness of the city, witnessing the meeting of East and West. Don’t…
RED BUS TOUR: Cape Town
Gosh, this was fun. Bryce and I had put it on our to do list very early on in our trip and due to our over zealous to-do-list we were only able to squeeze it in on the second to last day that we were there. We got a great crew together, met for a…
So long Istanbul, hello London & Oxford
This post has been a long time coming, trust me I’ve heard it from all angles, & I have no excuses,…..just reasons, I’m so busy filming mad videos on my GoPro & taking breathtaking pics on my DSL650 that I leave all the writing up to Tash;) haha So I need to give you the…
Bungee? In Russia?
There is a small coastal town in Russia, called Sochi. And just past that there is an even smaller town called Adler. This is where we were. The funny thing is it is actually home to the Russian Grand Prix and the Russian Winter Olympics. But, the town is not much to look at. And,…
