Indulge in a sojourn tailored to your tastes. Whether you desire a relaxing retreat or an unforgettable adventure on the open sea - it is up to you! Australian born, Fiona has been around the ocean through several occupations and passions for many years, including the South Pacific, North and South America, Mediterranean and the Caribbean. She has ventured the globe with varied professions and has
a strong passion for nature and all it has to offer. Based in the Caribbean for the last few years, she has steeped in the surroundings, music and culture of this magical place. Fiona loves spending time above and below the water - diving, surfing, and sailing. Fiona brings 18 years of experience working with fast boats and yachts. She has been a dive instructor for 12 years and has worked all over the world.
The Caribbean Brown B***y is truly amazing: it's a nomad at heart, traveling thousands of miles across oceans. Despite its wandering nature, it nests in large colonies on remote islands. Known for its impressive diving skills, it plunges into the ocean depths of up to 100 feet to catch fish. This b***y's distinctive brown plumage and adaptive behaviors make it a unique and remarkable seabird of the Caribbean.

Yet another appalling situation by Spirit Airlines 😳 with my very beautiful and caring Friend who recently visited from Australia. Been held on a flight from SXM to LGA an additional 1:40 min (amazingly just under there 2 hr refund policy) told the flight had a 'Security Breach'. When flight EJLCHG landed in FLL the connecting flight amazingly full already had left. The imaginary 'Security Breach' which was not affected by any other airline was a disgraceful fabricated story to cover up the over booking practices of Spirit Airlines. In addition to the cost and the uncomfortable situation was the response from Spirit. '$50 voucher with a 2 month expiry date'. 🙈
The guests were then sent to an already full hotel and told to sleep on the floor or at the airport. A $7 meal voucher was given and the agent told the guests they may get a flight either the next day or in the next week. Spirit Airlines you should be ashamed of yourselves! Shame on you Spirit Airlines.
Anyone else had issues with this airline?
We all need a little Iron in our lives. 😂❤️. Have a beautiful day everyone (GoodNight for the Antipodeans)
NO MILK PLEASE 🦔🦔🦔… If you see me in your garden, I appreciate food (unsalted raw meat, such as minced meat, I also love cat food but not fish) and I need water. Please don’t give me milk that would cause stomach problems and I could die. Please don’t use insecticides or traps. I'm inoffensive and help in your garden because I feed on insects that attack your veggies. My species is disappearing, please help us to stay alive 😘

After 16 years of Caribbean adventures during hurricane season, this year I decided to take a bold turn and head northwest to a magical island off the coast of Maine! I've camped, hiked, swam with dolphins and whales in the icy sea, and discovered unique local wildlife. Even though Hurricane Lee gave us a close call, shaking our tent and rumbling the spruce forest, it's been an absolutely fantastic journey! Waka and I have met incredible people, embarked on exciting adventures, and I've even started writing my book and building a new website. Never a dull moment above and below the water! 🌊 Soon, it's back to the Caribbean to prepare for an amazing season on the water around the beautiful Caribbean islands. Who's up for joining me? The season is booking up fast! This week was lawn mowing and Common Ground Fair fun.
