And then there were 3…
Well, the taxi ride back to Valor was a very different vibe to the one earlier that night; that’s for sure. We all know that one person who turns nasty when they have consumed too much alcohol and Trevor unfortunately seems to be that person.
Trevor crossed the line here on a few counts, most of all with Kelley, who very admirably held his professionalism and remained level headed about Trevor’s offensive & out of order behaviour.
Captain Lee handed out one of his famous plane tickets & Trevor disembarked the vessel with no remorse (unsurprisingly).
#DREAMTEAM!
Trevor may have been difficult to work with but being a man down won’t ever be easy on the crew. The deck team definitely had their hands full this charter. The guests were demanding and there were a couple of slip ups but the strength of our Deck team really came through!
Cheaper by the dozen?
Ben had to create a 12 course tasting supper last night with demanding dietary preferences to cater for, limited prep time, lack of man power, and pretty much no space – a chefs NIGHTMARE.
Sierra generously stepped up to help here and was put in charge of our “free-from” friends supper. It’s a shame that that expectations on what she was going to deliver didn’t quite follow through.
I would say that problems established through misunderstanding, lack of communication and the pressure of a heated kitchen with demanding guests.
The Fois Gras with crostini & Strawberry Jam. Course number: something…
It wasn’t nice to see Sierra get upset, at all. She is my friend as well as colleague and I wish I could have helped her more on the night, but I was busy off doing things that aren’t shown a lot on camera, like turn downs and laundry in between helping on service.
The dominant dick on Deck
Okay, hands up I don’t think that I’m very good at reading signals, or am I?
It can be easy to find people you work with attractive, especially on a boat. You always have some mutual interests, you see each other every day and yacht crew tend to be attractive, well our Valor boys most definitely are! They both have looks, humour and skill, I think that I’m a very lucky girl to have both of them after me, and it’s not expected whatsoever….we’ll see what happens!
Weird & wonderful questions & comments
(throw them at me for next weeks)…
- Were you wearing Duck Tape on your knickers in that scene?
Haha, no it wasn’t duck tape, though I can see how it could look like it. I think that you’re referring to me changing in my cabin and it was my microphone.
- Do you not get angry when guests make odd comments?
I will react sometimes but it comes with the job, and with being a female… I don’t mind too much, I will sometimes vent to the other crew members then be over it or shrug it off :).
- How did you live with Trevor?
Trevor dug himself into a hole and wasn’t right for our boat crew. While he got ahead of himself when he was drunk I believe that he isn’t a genuinely bad person. I tried to help him onboard and talk him through with what he was finding hard but it was hard to get through to him. I really do wish him the best with any future pursuits (and anyone else involved with them).
- What do you do to make your hair like that? It’s really cool…
Ahh, thank you! If you have curly hair you will know that it is a nightmare to manage, especially in the windy humid climate! I try and give it coconut oil masks, I use TIGI & Kerastase products and if its very frizzy I will define it using curling tongs when it’s not been blown dry straight… Check out my lifestyle blog and youtube channel for more info.
- What’s it like having the Deck team after you? Who do you find more attractive?
It’s come as a surprise that Kelley & Nico are this “interested” in me and I am extremely flattered and was not expecting it. Like I said above, I’m not great at reading signals and I’m an openly friendly and maybe sightly flirtatious person so maybe I give off odd signals.. They’re both attractive and funny but I have recently come out of a relationship and it will take a lot for a man to catch me, so we’ll see.
