I developed from a laundry stewardess in Fort Lauderdale to scrubbing teak on our catamaran, at 05:00 in the morning, in our berth in Turkey. This was all just the beginning of my career.
I learned that you are greater than you think, and whatever you put your mind to is achievable.
Cooking for the owner on the 30 m sail boat, night watches, wash down, driving and cleaning cabins was a pleasure after long hours on the 65 m motor yacht.
People that you come a cross all around the world make the experience and everyday work life very interesting.
