Feeling pretty lucky....

The chill spot
Lounging on the aft Sundeck, cruising the South Atlantic, preparing to finish off the rest of our Cristal, and trying to wrap my brain around the fact that this is actually mY life (and I'm getting paid for it!!).  If you would've asked me 4 months ago what I'd be doing around Thanksgiving never, in my wildest dreams, would I have thought "sailing around the Bahamas on the deck of a private mega yacht".   How is this a profession I've never heard about???  And why the hell isn't everyone and their mom doing this??  I'm just sad it took me this long to do what I've been wanting to do for years...get out of Minnesota, explore the world, and LIVE my life!  I could try and attempt to describe what I'm seeing, feeling, experiencing with pics and detailed blogs but it wouldn't do this justice...
So I've made it through my 1st charter and can't wait for round 2!!   The Mr. and Mrs. were planning to meet us in the Caribbean December 26th but apparently had such a good Holiday onboard they want to spend Christmas on here as well,  which means we'll be heading back out to sea the 1st week of December!!  The plan (although I've come to learn quite quickly that every "plan" is subject to change within an hour's notice) is to head to tour St. Lucia, St. Maarten, Turks & Caicos Islands, and be to St. Barts on NYE and they'll fly out sometime mid-to-late Jan...  :)  I've never been to St. Barts (shit let's be honest, I've never been to ANY of these islands) but if they're anything like what I've been seeing I can't wait!!   (apparently they've got the clearest most amazing water/beaches in the world, but I'm not sure what, if any, can top the exumas)!!  



Well that's all I've got...my brain is on E and it's too hot to type so ciao for now!!  Oh, and with internet being my only form of communication these blogs are getting easier (and seemingly more appropriate) so enjoy :)

xoxoxo,
mE

Happiest I've been in a long, long time :)

  1. Why isn't everyone and their Mom doing this? Because most Moms don't look like you or your crew mates :) XOXOXO M.
