Bypassed Glory – At Sea – [03/06/2015]
I can’t honestly say that the letter slipped under everyone’s door surprised me when it arrived beneath mine. In this line of work, you learn to spot an itinerary change memo before you even pick it up from the floor. … Continue reading

Poor Butterfly – Sydney, Australia – [02/10/2015]
“She who cannot live with honour. Dies with honour” I am told that the last time I saw Madama Butterfly I was a toddler, I’m not sure how old, you would have to ask my Mum – who told me … Continue reading
Peaceful Beauty – Bay of Islands – [02/07/2015]
It’s been years since I was on a cruise that made a call in the Bay of Islands, I’d almost forgotten how breathtaking it is. If there was one place in the world I would move to (other than back … Continue reading
Exchanges – Bora Bora – [01/26/2015]
It is a universally acknowledged truth that everything in life is made better by the presence of sunshine…and drinks with umbrellas in them. Well perhaps not everything but most things. I am still not a sun-baby…my skin is Irish pale, … Continue reading

Now and Forever – Papeete, Tahiti – [01/24/2015]
Papeete looks as I remember it. I suppose that shouldn’t really surprise me, for one thing it’s only been a year since I was last here, and that’s not necessarily a lot of time for hugely noticeable changes. Moreover I … Continue reading

At Rest – Manta, Equador – [01/13/2015]
I love port days… The office is so blissfully empty on port days…especially the port days right before a huge crossing, just a few moments of peace before the craziness sets in for the eight day trans-pacific crossing…and since I … Continue reading
Off-Season – Naples, Italy – [11/22/2014]
Every time I have come to Naples two major factors have prevented me from doing what I intended to do; weather and the time it takes to get back and forth from the place I was trying to get to. … Continue reading

One Horse Open – Palermo, Sicily – [11/25/2014]
It’s fair to admit that my memories of my last call in Palermo are somewhat…fuzzy. Lost in the haze of good friends, good food and Italian house red; days like that get freeze framed, you remember the individual moments clearly … Continue reading
Speechless – Vatican City, Italy – [11/21/2014]
It’s been a long while since I penned anything whilst on a moving bus, so we shall see if I still have the knack for it. One thing I will definitely say, the buses that take us to and from … Continue reading
