We were stuck at sea for 4 hours yesterday.

The tide was so low that we weren’t able to get through the channel that leads back to our harbour.

We put the traps in the water today!

This setting day seems to have come around quicker than others. Partly because this year we set on April 25 where traditionally we’ve been on April 30.

A few weeks ago I took part in a writing group hosted by Kailea Switzer called Writer’s (Un)Block and it was a fabulous experience!

The physical, emotional and mental changes we’ll go through are plenty.

There is a lot of information out there and it’s important to educate ourselves. And commit to ongoing learning because things are going to keep changing.

Our operators are strong willed and determined. We know what it takes to work hard and to put your heart and soul into what we do. And if our governing bodies want to keep boasting numbers that don’t actually amount to what we feel is true success then perhaps there isn’t a lot we can do about it. 

We had a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica! It’s a place I’ve wanted to visit for a long time and now that I have a friend living there it seemed like the perfect time to finally book this trip! 

Most years I am so clear on what I want to achieve and I get motivated at the thought of choosing my goals and resolutions and working towards them. But this year there wasn’t anything specific jumping out at me.

As a tourism operator, the off season can be a tricky time. From the outside it may seem like a dream to have the time off but if I’m being honest (and I always try to be here), the lack of structure can be very challenging for me.
