My debut as director


At the third annual Fort Yachtida Film Festival my movie "Happy Working Stews" won 1st place in the comedy category much to my delight! It is a funny video!
And now, I have a week left in this industry of big white expensive boats. Time to get back to the real world and deal with real life! I am a bit nervous but excited at the same time.
It is the end of an era (11 years) and the start of another amazing chapter in my life.

Caribbean Dreaming


Spent a few weeks on the lush island of St. Lucia. Anchored off the infamous Pitons, sharp pinnacles rising out of the deep covered in rambling jungle. We challenged the Petit Piton and climbed it in two hours. Don't be fooled by its name, it was quite a climb but the view from the top was worth every sweaty, tiring foot step!
The next day was spent relaxing on the beach and floating around in the warm Caribbean water. I was very lucky to have my birthday off and the crew spoilt me to no avail.
Off to St. Maarten and the mecca of yachting in the Caribbean. Alot of socializing to be had and catching up with old and new friends make this island the party capital of the tropics!
