Davar takes his grandson home and tells me, when he gets back, I better not be on the boat. Go enjoy my day. It’s a bit overcast but I put my suit on and lay out in the front lounge area of the boat. The sun never comes out and it’s starting to get chilly.Continue reading “An afternoon off”

Think it’s gonna be easy, out of the routine,fun, different. The boat needs its service so we are taking her to a service marina. Davar and I laugh as we try to undock leaving some lines and taking some. With this type of dock he has to move the front of the boat close toContinue reading “Oh what a day”

My oldest and middle daughter planned a vacation months ago. Not knowing where I’d be, I didn’t book, but hoped that it would work out to join them

The long days got longer, the expectations higher from what I’d signed up for in my interview. A relative of the boss came on with friends as our guest. She had a different idea of my job description than I did, and possibly her idea aligned more with what my boss was thinking. I feltContinue reading “Had to have a talk”

My boss is flying back to miami for a few days. So I’m flying to Cancun next Tuesday-Saturday! Today we picked his daughter, her husband and 4 of their friends up. We decided to drop anchor and spend the night at sea tonight!

So today was my day. It was another balanced day of duties. I was refreshed and had the energy to do myself up with the outfit I bought after the store owner wouldn’t let me in. I come out of my room and my boss and his guests see me. They are so used toContinue reading “Big mistake…big mistake …huge”

Clean those in both the engine room and the back portion. My boss says weContinue reading “And there is balance”

Last night before I go to bed, he excitedly says “what’s tomorrow girl?huh? Huh?” I smile and say “my day off!” He says just dry her off and the day is yours. So I get up at 5:45 on deck by 6am as usual. He gets up about 8:30, I’m almost done drying. It’s niceContinue reading “Kinda a day off”

Yesterday I washed and completely dried my GiGi. Did some laundry as well. My boss went to a friends house for the day. He came home this morning while I was drying the morning dew off of her before we head out. The sea was calm as a lake, I was able to get allContinue reading “And this is our home for the summer”

As my boss has made this trip several years, around the same time every year he mentions to me that at 9am, I’m going to get to see the Statue of Liberty up close and personal. I almost couldn’t stay focused on my morning chores. I wanted to absorb the moment, feel what people feltContinue reading “Emotional Day”
