Greetings from my sunny little life.
I have a yet another job - but this one is a keeper! I harness myself into a little dingy and fly around on the ocean everyday taking photos' of yachts for a company called Yacht Shots BVI. Sometime I take the company dog with me, and some days I have time to explore the islands inch by inch. Fun and laughter in the sun!
I am sad to say, i still drink too much rum; but it would be rude not to.

I have a few new pics:
Blighty: The after wrath of carol singing
BVI: Kates Hen party
BVI: Sailing w-end to Jost

Me and my New house mate (Abi) are planning a house warming party soon - so the pics will come soon.

Take care and I hope you are all warm and happy!

Love and hugs,

Happy Haloween and all that Jazz! The past two months have been a complete holiday and a real hoolie. I spent some time in Blighty, Ireland, met my new niece (Lexi) and spent a little too much time partying in London.

I am now back in the BVI for a month sorting out a new work permit, and then hopefully starting a new job taking pics of yachts for a company named Yachtshots. It all sounds very exciting and I can not wait to start!!

Other than that, I have been spoilt to a weekend in Anegada and this w-end I went sailing up to the North Sound on Virgin Groda. Check out the pics!
New Galleries are:

Ireland
Blighty: Drum and Base
Blighty: Kat's Birthday (and continued)
Blighty: Kensington
BVI - Peter Island
BVI - Underwater
BVI - Anegada

keep in touch and stay safe where ever you all are! Gem. xxxx

August 2nd 2006
Life continues on the rock in the BVI, and it looks like Tropical Storm Chris has luckily missed us. A small shame, cause I think a few of us were looking forward to a TS, and having the excuse to stay cuddled up in bed while the wind howls around us.
My house sitting days are over, and the season is getting super quiet which means only one thing... I AM COMING HOME TO BLIGHTY. Not too sure exactly when - but prob around the start of September.

I think the pictures in my gallery say a thousand words, so i won't bore you with what i have been up to.. just have a look:

*BVI - Party on windy Hill
*BVI - Party on Cane Garden Beach
*BVI - saturday night cab fever
*BVI - The world Cup final

stay safe where ever you are, and keep the updates of your exciting lifes coming. Love and hugs,

wow - it has been a while since I have been in touch with the outside world, and lots has happened in the mean time. Since mid april, I found a new coushty job working on a day charter sail catamran, and last month I found a place to live.

I am living in an amazing house on windy hill, and I sail every day as a living. Life is good! I celebrated my 25th b-day party last month and my rentals came out to help celebrate and enjoy a few weeks of sailing on Dawn Raider.

Check out new gallery sites:

BVI - Virgin Gorda
BVI - a day with mum
BVI - my b-day
BVI - Rachel's b-day
BVI - pool party... more pics to come

keep in touch,

18th April 2006. Happy Easter...
and Happy Birthday to mum, Leils and anyone else partying this month. I spent Easter sailing with Taylor and Larry, checking out Jost Van Dike, cruising past dolphins and sipping on wine. Very pleasant.

I am no longer working for Wanderlust, (well - on and off) and am trying to decide where to work next. I've had a few exciting job offers out here, so I may take one of them up. Watch this space!

So - I had to face Chris leaving last month, now Dan has gone back to Blighty for a bit. I didn't get a chance to party with Dan before he left - so when he gets back (hurry up Dan) i'll have pics of Dan's leaving and return party.

Well - it's still as beautiful as ever here and if i feel down, i just need to look around. Check out my new galleries:

BVI - Dan came to stay
BVI - Spring Sailing Regatta
BVI - Beach Sinanigans
BVI - Beaches and Views
BVI - sunsets and sunrises
BVI - fun pics.

Enjoy and stay safe and smiley!

12th March 2006.
I am back in the BVI and slaving away on Wanderlust. I arrived back to the rock two weeks, ago (managing to avoid getting aressted in San Juan), but me and Chris missed our connecting flight to Tortola, so we spent a night in a snazzy hotel in San Juan

The last two weeks, I have been working, partying (as usual) and soaking up the sun, Chris left the rock last week to sail around the world, so we spent some quality time with him partying before he left. Check out the pics:
BVI - sailing to Norman island.
BVI - tizwas cont...

and more are on the way.
Have fun where ever you all are.
Love Gem. xx

HAPPY NEW YEAR.. and all that jazz.

2005 was a little hectic for me, but i managed to squeeze in some skiing in Canada, surfing in Costa Rica, safaring in Zambia and 'chillin' in South Africa. Not a bad year, and now I am in the British Virgin Islands.

I am working as a deckhand and stew on a private Trimaran named Wanderlust in the paradise islands of the BVI. So far - it is a GREAT start to 2006 and filled with rum punch and white sandy beaches.

Over the new year - my photo gallery was wiped.. so I am having to start from scratch with my pics. Keep an eye on them, cause they are forever changing.

Warm wishes and sunny thoughts to you all - where ever you are.

Love and hugs,
Gem. xxx
