Happy New Year everyone🍾🎉
I hope you all enjoyed a fabulous evening & now looking forward to calmer waters this year 🌊 2020 has definitely been a year of challenges, changes, surprises & growth & I have a feeling 2021 is going to be just as exceptional 🤔😁🌈

Personally the last couple of weeks has been insane leading up to Xmas & NYE, jumping from boat to boat delivering supplies to islands, briefing boats, taking guests on day trips & attending wonderful little elopmements!

Flashback to my first Sydney to Hobart 2006, we were sitting there watching the fireworks & I turned to the crew and said 'so awesome! I want to be a Pyrotechnic!! Haha Obviously that did not happen.. but be careful what you wish for! Never in the foreseeable future did I think I would be driving the fireworks boat last night 😳😂

A big thank you to everyone for your support, kind words & love throughout the year 🙏 sending you all good vibes & happiness! 💙🌈

I'm probably the happiest when I'm creating! Writing beautiful wedding ceremonies, creating beautiful @nauticalstars , playing in the garden, concocting weird herbal recipes in the kitchen and asking friends to try it 😂 @dave3.7 and being on a sailboat ⛵ this i possibly need the most 💙 sun, salt wind & sea, the perfect recipe for me 🌈

Embrace your life with a child like wonder & watch it become 'an artful existence'

LOVE 💙 An Adventure Wedding!!🚤⛵ What an am

LOVE 💙 An Adventure Wedding!!🚤⛵
What an amazing day..Sooo much fun!!
My incredible couple Mike & Sarah sailed across the world & plan A get married in Sydney, due to lock down ..plan B sailed to Airlie & get married on their yacht 'Syntropy' So happy they chose plan B!!

Mooring out on South Molle Is with fellow yacht friends 🤗 Hiring me a boat through @airliebeachboathire I drove out to meet them.

Beautifully decorating their yacht they stood on the bow & conducted their wedding while live streaming to family & friends from all over the world 🌏

Fun didn't stop there 😁 I helmed their boat while everyone celebrated, taking them down to Palm Bay for the night for dinner then jumped in my little green weapon taking some guests back to their boats on my way home to Airlie.

Sarah & Mike absolute honor to be apart of the beginning of lifelong adventure together 💙⛵ may you be blessed with calm seas & gentle breezes 🌈
