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…
I’m back….
It’s been so long since I have written a blog post that I have actually been petrified to click the blog tab on my Chrome Tab Bar. Not only because I have so many things to write, but also because I am aware that our views have been fast and furiously dwindling, due to SIX…
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…
200hrs of Yoga Complete

It’s been a week. And if someone told me I had to go home tomorrow, I would have no argument that I have already got my money’s worth. I was told that I should come here with no expectations and I will leave here with a yoga teacher qualification and a life changing experience. That…
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…
Caribbean dreaming…
It happened again, luck struck us. We found ourselves on another amazing boat, doing a great itinerary, TOGETHER. We wanted to pinch ourselves as we chartered through all the most famous islands of the Caribbean- from Antigua to St Barths and all the other beautiful ones in between. The charter was intense, but the crew…
A New York Minute
“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.” ― Tom Wolfe When you google New York Minute this is what comes up in Urban Dictionary: “A New York minute is an instant. Or as Johnny Carson once said, it’s the interval between a Manhattan…
