Welcome to my blog...

I am currently working on a mega yacht in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We plan on heading to the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean for the winter. We made the crossing from Europe in October. Mike and I have had a great time thus far and look forward to our next adventures.

I miss everyone so much, but really am living my life to the fullest. I am experiencing new things everyday and gaining valuable maritime knowledge. Thanks for checking in on Mike and I, don’t forget to leave a comment! ~ Danielle

Dexter's new girlfriend, Carolina





I took Dexter with me to Mike and Sara's house where he met his latest girlfriend. We felt guilty watching them, it resembled a doggy porn! I had a wonderful time visiting with them and mmmm the dinner Mike cooked was fabulous!!! Carolina didn't even mind Dexter sleeping in her bed, even though he doesn't fit.

Burt and Ernie...


I want this kitty so bad! He showed up at my mom's house one night and has not left. She named him Burt to go with her dog, Ernie. He slept with me for 2 nights. He likes to sleep with his little head right under your chin. There is nothing better than a purring kitten sleeping with you!! I LOVE HIM!!

Ahh, so happy to be on the East Coast!!!!




I've been traveling since last Tuesday...2 nights in Seattle, 3 nights in Raleigh, 1 night in Wilmington, and currently 2 nights in Charleston. I am so happy to be back home!! I have had such a wonderful time back. The wedding I went to (Mike's sister) was one of the most fun and beautiful weddings I've ever been to. I had a wonderful time meeting his family. Of course my time in Wilmington was a blast! We are all going to miss Mike Tyrell and wish him the best in Germany!! My time in Charleston has been great. I have not been able to see everyone that I had hoped to, there is just not enough time in the day. I do have Dexter with me-so happy to have him for a few days! I take him to Myrtle Beach tomorrow and then back to Wilmington. Then I'm on to Sumter for a golf tournament, then maybe Florence, and finally Columbia. I had so much fun with everyone that I was able to see and truly miss those that I didn't.

I'm Back!


Finally! We are back in Victoria and I now have the Internet, so check back more often! We enjoyed our stay on the anchor at different locations throughout the gulf islands of British Columbia. I am happy to be back in Victoria, where I have access to all of life's amenities like haircuts and pedicures. I plan on getting both this week.
