The last year it has been a rare day that I have access to a good kitchen, a decent supermarket, and the time and inclination to actually cook. However, I am trying to get back into the habit, taking those moments when I can, such as today! My standard summer lunch is a variation of …
Two roads.
I have always loved this poem since I read it at high school (the only poem I have ever remembered). Maybe it resonates because I am not the biggest fan of decisions: Sailing tactical decisions? No problem! Food at a restaurant for dinner? Ahhh... Luckily with PJ we can usually order the 2-3 things I …
What is home?
In March I packed up my life in NZ, sold my car, as well as anything else that looked like it had some value (except my MTB & one set of kite gear as a girl has to keep some toys!). With no income on the horizon I needed something to keep me going! As …
One door closes…
After waiting for an answer since my trial with Brunel, I finally know today, that no, I will not be going back to sail with the team again, I am not required... It is a strange mix of emotions... On one hand, I have pushed hard this last year to get myself in contention - …
August…
Well this is kinda cheating, I mean it is still August... But anyway, there is a bit at the start to catch up on! August started in sunny (not) Gosport, training on Brunel, getting ready for the Round the Island race and the Fastnet. I was in a pretty dark place, the rope burn on …
Body & mind
I have been mostly lucky I think throughout my sailing career to escape too many serious injuries (although actually now looking back I can see a few!!), but I have always had pains and imbalances that affected me while training and race. For the six years leading up to London I had rather consistent pain …
Breakfast, my favourite meal!
So, starting the day, not always the easiest task, but luckily for me I just rather love breakfast so I am always pretty happy to eat it at least! I am probably a little boring when it comes to breakfast variety, but when you find something you love, why change?? Today like most days is …
Fitness or Enjoyment..?
Balance. What exactly is balance when it comes to fitness & lifestyle. For me, thats a question that I probably still can't answer as well as I should! Having been a high performance athlete for as long as I can remember, fitness has always been a part of my work. My body was my tool, …
Dinner: Simple additions for a balance meal…
I love a well prepared meal, but sometimes there ain't the time, or the resources! Take tonight for example, a packet of soup was on the menu ~ Thai chicken to be exact, I bought it a few days ago in case of such emergencies... I tend to be pretty religious about reading the back …

My Take on Food…
Anyone that knows me, is quite aware of that fact that I am pretty food centric, I have tried every style of eating, from vegan, to LCHF, I have been to enough countries to know what good food is (and I'm partly Israeli - and the really are all about the food). I love to …
