Staying with a friend…I’ve been here twice..think I know where I’m going. Pull up to her house, garage is open, boxer puppy in the backyard, start unloading luggage. My friend calls, cause she thought we’d be there already. Rylee said we’re here, in the driveway, my friend said…Um, no, I’m in my driveway. Rylee saysContinue reading “Made it back to Decatur Texas”

We are trying to make Destin Florida in time to enjoy weekend festivities. That means we have to travel 9 hour days. I’m more of a 5 hour kinda gal

Since I’ve done this before, I kinda know what to expect. I’m bringing my paddle board, Snorkel gear and alotta stuff I probably don’t need. The Jeep is packed to the roof!

My old boss called and said he has been saving my position for me. He wanted confirmation I would be returning to GiGi. Since I have been having no luck securing a yacht position in the Caribbean, I agreed. He is so excited to have me back. He sent $1,000 to help with the gasContinue reading “Going Back to GiGi”

I’ve been submitting resumes to several yachts based out of the Caribbean. Zero responses and I can only guess it’s because of my age. I am 30 years older than the typical people applying for this position. But I keep on trying. As we get closer to “the season” it might get easier. I’m inContinue reading “Gearing up to head back out.”

This photo was taken by my friend who was on Queen D in Sag Harbor. He sent this to me saying “where are you?” My yacht boss text me the other day and said “Gigi needs you. I haven’t hired anyone to replace you, and she needs you. Is there any way you could getContinue reading “To Gigi or not to Gigi”

The guys that work on the dock took this picture and sent it to me, saying “we miss you Stacy”. Here you can see there are 4 people doing my job. One guy on each side of the boat and 2 guys on the dock to catch Gigi’s lines and tie her to the dock!Continue reading “I am missed on the East Coast”

The moon tonight is heavy, not full. It holds my parents meeting in high school. This moon holds their marriage, the birth of me and my siblings. This California moon holds all of my high school river parties, first loves, first heart breaks, moments I will cherish.

My part of California, allowed me to enjoy the triple digit mid day summers, which I could escape with a 20 minute drive to the coast. Or a 20 minute drive to our local lake Nacimiento, where people routinely drive 2+ hours to get to. Winters that made you appreciate spring, with a 3 hourContinue reading “Back to my roots”

So….I quit my job, on my white sandy beach, drove over 3,000 miles to be with my mom, and when I arrive at her house, what do I find? A note on the counter…”gone camping, be back Sunday, love you!” I laughed out loud, then Saturday drove to the coast to visit with them andContinue reading “Back in California”
