American Idol

Who else has this dirty little secret, every year I say this time I won't watch American Idol...again I am sucked in, I was on charter recently on board a motoryacht that had satalite tv hook up, luckily for me our charter guests from New York were fans of the show, they would shout for me to come up to the salon after every commercial break was over, I was running between the galley (where I was prepping their desert) mini key lime cheese cakes with a toffee swirl - in case you wanted to know.
Had a great day with my friend Deb hadn't seen her since the infamous yacht that will remain nameless debackle, poor Deb hung in there above and beyond human suffering, if they gave out gold medals for outstanding performance on a sinking ship she would surely get the gold.

The walk over the mountain to Cane Garden Bay was lovely, we had a chance to catch up and exercise at the same time, a nice light lunch at the Big Banana Resturant, a quick swim in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean, and then off to town for a much needed pedicure, and to finish my perfect day.....American Idol.

Cane Garden Bay

Good morning am off hiking over the mountain of Tortola (land of Turtle Doves) with my friend Ms Debbie off the the sapphire blue waters of Cane Garden bay where today we will be tourists and loll around lunching and swimmng, may even fit in a pedicure just to superspoil ourselves.

Welcome

Hi Everyone welcome - I am new to the blogging thing so please bare with me. Well here I am sitting on my balcony looking out at harbour of Tortola from up here on the hillside the lights of the yachts in the marina are so pretty they always remind me of Christmas. Here I am 15yr later living and chefing on yachts in the Caribbean, it feels like only yesterday that I left Australia with my then boyfriend Peter to start this adventure with my family and friends betting on how long I would last....I showed them, now I am soon to embark on a new adventure - Yacht broker bringing me closer to home ( Australia) I am nervous will I be able to settle back into a regular life as a landlubber?
