Finished off the day with CBC Joey and dock hand James coming onboard for drinks. CBC Joey brought red wine. Delicious red wine. He said something hilarious and I spit red wine out of my mouth. We all freeze and look at my teak floor with red wine all over it

My boss tells me…”I’m going to the city (NY) and my daughter and her husband are chartering the boat for the weekend. I ask (ummm whose the captain?) our neighbor Billy is going to Captain.

In talking to other Captains and crew, I’ve been told that the dew does NOT need to be dried off so early in the morning. If you get it by 10am the sun isn’t hot enough to dry the spots so you’ll be fine. I’ve been playing around with that a bit. So today IContinue reading “.aaand a perfect day”

One hard thing about yachting on a privately owned yacht that the owner lives on is never knowing what you’re doing and when your doing it.

I guess there is a hurricane somewhere near us. So we have had heavy winds and it rained all day. Did as much as I could in the engine room waiting for people to wake up inside. Then cleaned the interior. Ran to South Hampton for groceries, and came back. I was pretty tired becauseContinue reading “Rainy Day Schedule”

I hear a voice behind me that says “so…your boat is from Miami?” I turn around and say yes…then recognize the face. It’s Captain Russ. He invitesContinue reading “Meeting new people”

Remember when I was in yacht school? And I’d mentioned a girl that I got close to. She and I both had anxiety during the fire portion. She just text me today, that she got a job and is headed to my marina! I’m beyond excited. After leaving California behind, Florida was my new beginning,Continue reading “I’m so excited!”

As I was drying the boat this morning, my boss comes out and says I’ve rented you a bicycle, heres directions to the beach I want you to go to. There is a restaurant there. But I don’t want you to go to the other beach because I’m going to take you there tomorrow. I’mContinue reading “Starting to be skeptical”

Didn’t get much sleep last night. We have a brand new boat, and my air conditioner has been out for a week. Because it’s an after market product and under warranty we have to get the company that installed it to work on it…then the generator won’t stay running. Again it has to be aContinue reading “Nantucket”

Started the day at my normal time. Boss wanted to head out early. He loves having my help because we can arrive at our destination and have time to play. but what’s so cute is that he’s been where we are going, he’s seen it all, he wants me to see it. I finish allContinue reading “And…I hope this lasts”
