It’s been the craziest thing getting to the age of 32 and “retiring” from my career. In some ways, there was no other option, given that whole female ticking body clock thing, but in other ways the time felt right anyway. I am a reflective person and so I guess, the last 7 weeks has…

Whimsical Deia
I have been lucky enough to have spent six months in Palma. We have been in shipyard mode, which means we have an unusual routine, for yachties, Mon-Fri, 9-5, with weekends off. Normal for the average human, not so normal for us. And so, my adventurous side has been tantalized in every way, taking hikes…
Train trip: Bangkok–> Chiang Mai
I can quite comfortably say that we have covered every single mode of transport that Thailand has had to offer. And this was one of the more interesting, throwing some great people across our paths, zero sleep for me and one very insistent Thai service stew. I am trying to work out whether I would…
Fifty shades of B L U E
Travel tip #1: Go to Sardinia Travel tip #2: Head straight to Cala Gonone Travel Tip#3: Hire a Motorboat It’s so easy, it cost us 70 euro for the ENTIRE day, we could drive it ourselves and they threw in a free cooler box. Legend. The company we went through was called Skipper, and they…
Camping on the coast- Cala Gonone
Oh man was I need of a weekend away from the boat. I can’t say it was anyone else’s fault but my own, but I was just feeling ratty, tired and annoyed. Boat life, sometimes it is the best thing ever, but some times it can feel incredibly claustrophobic and then throw in a little…
Sunshine & Pedalos in Corfu
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…
200hrs of Yoga Complete
I am officially a yoga teacher…I am needing to say these words over and over to myself, because this has been a dream for so long that I can hardly believe that this month has passed by and the goal has been met. The feelings I have towards the certification extend far further than what…
