Speaker 4: Hello, and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast
Speaker 4: for millennials who want financial freedom. Welcome back to another
Speaker 4: shot back Money Diary Monday, where we chat to a
Speaker 4: community member about them, their life, their story, their money
Speaker 4: and all the interesting bits in between. And Victoria, are
Speaker 4: you surprised to hear that I have a good ear?
Speaker 5: No, absolutely not, But I cannot wait because I heard
Speaker 5: I heard on the grapevine You're.
Speaker 2: Gonna love this show. Yeah, that I heard on.
Speaker 5: The grape vine that this Money Diary is gonna send
Speaker 5: blow deck vibes, and we all know how obsessed I
Speaker 5: am with that show.
Speaker 6: So I don't know if that's true or not, but
Speaker 6: Anna Lisa let.
Speaker 5: It slip before and I'm actually like, ooh, alrighty well,
Speaker 5: let me tell you all about her.
Speaker 4: So our diarist says. I'm currently thirty three living in
Speaker 4: the Gold Coast, but grew up between South Africa, London
Speaker 4: and California in a relationship, and I work as a
Speaker 4: physio with a few twists along the way. Three years ago,
Speaker 4: I took a leap of faith to quit my stable,
Speaker 4: permanent government job working in Queensland Health to move to
Speaker 4: on Tieps, France to be a yachty. The rest is history.
Speaker 4: I had a great season on a beautiful eighty meter
Speaker 4: motor yacht Milch around one hundred years ago, absolutely the
Speaker 4: hardest job of my life, but some epic financial benefits
Speaker 4: came alongside this. I returned home about eight months later
Speaker 4: to head back into physiotherapy, happier than ever to be
Speaker 4: in my regular job. Wouldn't take the experience or anything.
Speaker 4: Now I know how to fold napkins and have some
Speaker 4: fantastic bed making skills.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it does throw below deck vibes, you
Speaker 5: love fun, money dearrest, welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: I am so excited to have you.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks so much.
Speaker 6: Girls, low key, how is Auntie's curse like?
Speaker 2: We're going here, You're gonna love it. It's so stunning
Speaker 2: and it's such a fun area.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, I have a good time.
Speaker 5: I have some offline questions, but we really should get
Speaker 5: into the money dory because I don't think anyone cares
Speaker 5: about my travel plans.
Speaker 6: All they care about is your money dory.
Speaker 5: So let's jump straight into it with the first question,
Speaker 5: which is always can.
Speaker 6: You tell us a little bit about your money story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I grew up in a single parent family,
Speaker 2: so you know, we were always conscious of money. So
Speaker 2: I think my whole life, I've just been you know,
Speaker 2: a whare of my spending. I've always tried to save. Obviously,
Speaker 2: going through UNI was really tough. I'm paying those fees.
Speaker 2: I lived in Melbourne for those three years, so I think,
Speaker 2: you know, I worked a ton outside of UNI, So
Speaker 2: I think from you know, from the get going over
Speaker 2: the last few years coming into physio, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like I just have always had a really
Speaker 2: good saving mindset. But I've always, you know, worked really
Speaker 2: hard to get where I am.
Speaker 6: Of course, how cool? I love that?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 6: Next question is what do you do for work and
Speaker 6: how much money do you own?
Speaker 2: So I am a physio. I'm a physiotherapist. I work
Speaker 2: in Southeast Queensland slash Northern New South Wales. So I
Speaker 2: have three jobs three three. I know it was four
Speaker 2: last year, but I had to have down. So I
Speaker 2: have one kind of full time job in aged care
Speaker 2: I locom so I do random shifts at one of
Speaker 2: the local hospitals. And then I'm a sole trader in
Speaker 2: the disability arena. So I have three and I make
Speaker 2: about one hundred and forty thousand between those.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Cool we allowed to ask about an old job here, jess?
Speaker 5: Or do you want me to wait till the end?
Speaker 5: I commend to the end.
Speaker 6: I really want to ask loud.
Speaker 2: Yes? Sorry?
Speaker 6: Sorry? Sorry?
Speaker 5: All right, I want to know. Next question, what is
Speaker 5: your big money goal. I think it's more of a
Speaker 5: lifestyle goal for me. So I just want to enjoy
Speaker 5: my life. I want to be able to live comfortably.
Speaker 5: I want to be able to have enough money to
Speaker 5: take you know, a good vacation or to time off
Speaker 5: during the year to enjoy my life.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be one of those people that
Speaker 2: you know, waits until they're sixty five to be able
Speaker 2: to take heaps of time off. So I think my money,
Speaker 2: my financial goal is just being able to have enough
Speaker 2: money to be comfortable in order to have the lifestyle
Speaker 2: and the time off and the flexibility that I want,
Speaker 2: but still able to comfortably manage my mortgage and those
Speaker 2: you know, those yearly bills.
Speaker 5: I love that. That's a good goal. How old do
Speaker 5: you think you'll when you do want to retire?
Speaker 2: I really love what I do, and I'm lucky that
Speaker 2: it's a job that I can probably do until I retire.
Speaker 2: There's so many different arenas of physio. I mean, earlier
Speaker 2: the better, but I'm pretty happy working into my sixties.
Speaker 2: But that is also being said, like, I want to
Speaker 2: live a life where I can take time off every
Speaker 2: single year, every few months. So I'd be happy to
Speaker 2: work into my sixties. But if I could retire in
Speaker 2: fifteen years, that would be great too.
Speaker 6: That would be an absolute win. That's the ultimate goal, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: But I love what I do, so I never dread
Speaker 2: going to work. I'm very lucky in that sense that
Speaker 2: I don't mind working a little bit longer if I can,
Speaker 2: you enjoy myself along the way.
Speaker 5: That's so epic. Next question, do you have any investments.
Speaker 5: If so, what are they.
Speaker 2: My partner and I have invested money in crypto. I
Speaker 2: would like to expand that a little bit more into
Speaker 2: other things, maybe the stock market or things like that,
Speaker 2: but one thing at a time. I need to learn
Speaker 2: a little bit more about that and how to go
Speaker 2: about it and the ups and the downs. But yeah,
Speaker 2: right now, just cryptocurrency.
Speaker 6: How did you peak crypto?
Speaker 2: My partner's idea.
Speaker 6: Seems to be the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm pretty happy with the decision. It was
Speaker 2: a mutual decision. You know, we're in a position where
Speaker 2: we have a little bit of disposable income, so if
Speaker 2: we lose it all, you know, it's not the end
Speaker 2: of the world. If something comes from it, fantastic. You know.
Speaker 2: We live within our means and we don't put in
Speaker 2: to crypto what we aren't willing to lose. So you know,
Speaker 2: see how things go in the next few years. Good
Speaker 2: time to buy hippeak.
Speaker 6: Next question is do you have any dates?
Speaker 2: Yes, I owe a few thousand dollars for we just
Speaker 2: were renovating. I have seven grand left to pay for
Speaker 2: my Ikia kitchen.
Speaker 6: Exciting.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's zero percent interest for the first year,
Speaker 2: so I'm happy just to pay it off little by
Speaker 2: little in the next year. But yeah, that's it, just
Speaker 2: the just the kitchen.
Speaker 6: How good?
Speaker 4: And a mortgage as well?
Speaker 2: Did you say the more?
Speaker 6: I was about to say, how good? And what's the
Speaker 6: debt on the property you're renovating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, luckily not too much more than we would have
Speaker 2: liked to have spend. But that's just the market at
Speaker 2: this point. But yeah, we were very lucky finding the
Speaker 2: place that we live where we live. Yeah, we were
Speaker 2: happy with the price considering the market.
Speaker 6: So yeah, epic.
Speaker 5: And does your partner have any debt or is it
Speaker 5: just the kitchen and the mortgage between the two of you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, just that airpic all right. Next question is do
Speaker 6: you shot back?
Speaker 2: Is that like the where you go to a shop,
Speaker 2: Like you go to a shop and you kind of
Speaker 2: put it on credit and then you can pay it back.
Speaker 5: We're about to blow your mind absolutely, Okay, Jess, what's
Speaker 5: shot back?
Speaker 4: So shot back is a plug in. They also have
Speaker 4: an app. It's a cash back site, so when you
Speaker 4: shop online and sometimes in store as well, you essentially
Speaker 4: get cash back on the purchases you make. So they
Speaker 4: get essentially what you could look at as a commission
Speaker 4: from the platform for sending you there, and then they
Speaker 4: share that with you.
Speaker 6: So it's a really good way if you.
Speaker 4: Are an online shopping to make a little bit of
Speaker 4: extra money back.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't. I don't do a lot of
Speaker 2: online shopping, so I don't know if that's worth it
Speaker 2: for me. I don't know something i'd not heard about.
Speaker 6: So there you are right now, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll look into him more, you know, all right?
Speaker 6: Next question is what is your best money habit?
Speaker 2: M best money habit is also probably tied to my
Speaker 2: worst money habit. I think my best money habit is
Speaker 2: I just enjoy my life. You know. I save enough
Speaker 2: to be able to go on holidays, go out for drinks,
Speaker 2: go for dinner with friends, like, I'm not too stressed.
Speaker 2: I think I have a really good balance. You know,
Speaker 2: I have enough in my savings and I make enough
Speaker 2: luckily that I can really enjoy my life and I
Speaker 2: don't miss out on things because I have a savings
Speaker 2: to pay for that, so on a whay am, I'm
Speaker 2: able to go on a little holiday or a girl's
Speaker 2: week and away. So I think that money habit of
Speaker 2: just having money there all the time and being able
Speaker 2: to enjoy it, enjoy my life, I think is a
Speaker 2: really good habit. So just savings and making sure that
Speaker 2: I enjoy my heart spend money.
Speaker 5: Now, tell us how does it link to your worst
Speaker 5: money habit? What is that I probably spend a little
Speaker 5: bit too much on takeaway and dinners.
Speaker 2: I think I could probably pull back on some of
Speaker 2: that disposable spending of drinks and eating out. So something
Speaker 2: that I can easily pull back on, and that's something that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it could definitely work on some of those social activities
Speaker 2: or just takeaway things like that could improve a little.
Speaker 2: But I do enjoy my life and at this point,
Speaker 2: twenty bucks here and there and takeaway is not the
Speaker 2: end of the world.
Speaker 4: It's finding the balance, right, like the things that you enjoy,
Speaker 4: the goals that you have, and if it's within your means,
Speaker 4: it's definitely not the worst thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, all right.
Speaker 5: The last question in the structured questions that we always
Speaker 5: ask money diarists is what grade would you give yourself
Speaker 5: if we forced you to give yourself a grade?
Speaker 2: Is that like out of five stars?
Speaker 5: It could be five stars, it could be ABCDFG, it
Speaker 5: could be anything.
Speaker 2: Probably probably at this point four stars. I've been really
Speaker 2: good this last few years about saving. We knew we
Speaker 2: wanted to buy a house, we knew you were probably
Speaker 2: gonna have to renovate. So I think my saving has
Speaker 2: really gotten quite good. But I think I could still improve,
Speaker 2: like learning a little bit more about financial literacy, investments, Yeah,
Speaker 2: just those little things that are kind of the next
Speaker 2: level of financial literacy I think I could improve on.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I've had a really good few years, thankfully,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I just kind of want to take it
Speaker 2: to the next level in the next year or two.
Speaker 6: How good?
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I cannot wait to get into boat chat,
Speaker 5: and we will do that after this really quick break.
Speaker 6: We are back money diarist.
Speaker 5: I need to know, Jess said, I had to wait
Speaker 5: until this segment of the show to ask you, can
Speaker 5: you tell us about being a yochtie, like how much.
Speaker 6: Do you earn? How much do you actually have to spend?
Speaker 6: And what's it like?
Speaker 2: It was the hardest job of my entire life. I
Speaker 2: definitely earned every single penny on the job. So I
Speaker 2: worked on an eighty foot boat. She was about one
Speaker 2: hundred years old. She was actually a warship. She was
Speaker 2: a hospital at one point. What. Yeah, it was really
Speaker 2: an old historical boat. And it was awesome because you
Speaker 2: could see like old photos of it. It used to
Speaker 2: be a gunship, so old photos of it in the war,
Speaker 2: and with all the old navy guys and stuff on,
Speaker 2: like old photos on the wolf, that was amazing. It
Speaker 2: is owned by like a quite wealthy British Italian family
Speaker 2: and yeah, they were really great. We had fantastic guests,
Speaker 2: we had fantastic owners. But it was really tough. You'd
Speaker 2: be doing. I mean technically you got an eight hour break,
Speaker 2: but you probably got about six hours of sleep some nights,
Speaker 2: most nights, i'd say, and you would do like you
Speaker 2: would rotate between laundry, housekeeping service. It was amazing, but
Speaker 2: absolutely have never worked so hard in my entire life,
Speaker 2: scrub toilets, making beds, detailing, vacuum cleaners. We were based
Speaker 2: out of the Mediterranean, so that was amazing. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was an amazing season, but made me very thankful for
Speaker 2: my physio job.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, how much did you earn doing that?
Speaker 2: I was a green stew so it was my very
Speaker 2: first yachting job, my first and last. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: remember what I earned. It wasn't very much. I think
Speaker 2: I was on about twelve hundred euros a month.
Speaker 6: Oh that's not that much, isn't.
Speaker 2: No, we were technically not a charter boat. So if
Speaker 2: you say, work on a charter boat where they're renting
Speaker 2: it out to new guests every week or every fortnight,
Speaker 2: you're going to make a ton of money and tips.
Speaker 2: That's where a lot of the money is.
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to ask.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking, this is going to be like below deck
Speaker 5: and then every week you go down below deck and
Speaker 5: you count you tips.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's like that on a lot of the other boats.
Speaker 2: But because we were a private boat, we got a
Speaker 2: little bit of tips, but it was more.
Speaker 6: We got to go.
Speaker 2: Hiking with the families, We got to go to dinner
Speaker 2: with the families. You got to go like tubing and
Speaker 2: swinging from like the boat swings, and it was a
Speaker 2: really like boat to work on.
Speaker 5: Enjoy being there instead of being like yeah all the time,
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, doing that and getting to hang out
Speaker 5: with a billion dollar family, that's pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's the worst?
Speaker 5: Yeah, get literally getting paid to hang out with billionaires
Speaker 5: like that's her job.
Speaker 6: Yess.
Speaker 2: Well, we definitely had to clean their toilets and stuff,
Speaker 2: so kept you humble. Yeah, but it was great. But
Speaker 2: you know, you didn't have to pay for rent. You'd
Speaker 2: never had to pay for food. You always had Seven
Speaker 2: Star food leftovers that you could always eat.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, how cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was amazing. Would probably have continued to
Speaker 2: do it had my personal situation at home been a
Speaker 2: little bit different, I probably would have done another season
Speaker 2: or two and gone to maybe a charter boat where
Speaker 2: you can make more money. But you know some of
Speaker 2: my friends, they are making thousands of dollars of tips
Speaker 2: in a fortnight.
Speaker 4: Wow, had a fine today's job. Because I'm sure there's
Speaker 4: probably some people listening, going, I can do I want
Speaker 4: to do that? Yeah, yeah, what I did.
Speaker 2: I'm really lucky I had a British passport or have
Speaker 2: a British passport, so it was quite easy for me.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to worry about the visa side of things.
Speaker 2: But you do have to get a work visa for
Speaker 2: wherever you want to get a boat, whether America can
Speaker 2: be a little bit tougher to do that. So I
Speaker 2: started in the Mediterranean, so I just went to France.
Speaker 2: I did my training over there. You have to do
Speaker 2: like a week long like fire rescue basic safety skills course,
Speaker 2: and I actually met a beautiful chief stewardess. She was
Speaker 2: renewing her training and that was my first training, so
Speaker 2: we actually met and bonded and she got me a
Speaker 2: job on her boat. So that was really very very
Speaker 2: lucky for me. But I think what most people do
Speaker 2: is they would go over there, and I actually did
Speaker 2: interview for other jobs. You basically walk the door, so
Speaker 2: you take your CV with you and you go to
Speaker 2: where all these boats are parked. You might have to
Speaker 2: talk your way in or sneak your way into some
Speaker 2: of the locked ones jeky, and you literally just go
Speaker 2: knocking boat to boat, You ring bells, you knock on
Speaker 2: the doors, and you say hi, can I speak to
Speaker 2: Sow and Sow the chief stewardess or chief deck and yeah,
Speaker 2: say hey, I'm looking for a job. Do you guys
Speaker 2: have any stewardess jobs available? So that was yeah, also
Speaker 2: very humbling.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to really hustle up a job, don't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely have to work for it. There are
Speaker 2: also other like job agency like yachting agencies that you
Speaker 2: can sign up for, but as a Green stewardess, there's
Speaker 2: not that many jobs that I was offered through there.
Speaker 2: It was more you have to like just meet people.
Speaker 2: It's all about who you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you ended up lucking out and finding a
Speaker 6: boat with an.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 5: Are you still in contact with the family, Like, do
Speaker 5: you contact them? Like you spend so much time with
Speaker 5: them if you're going hiking and hanging out with them,
Speaker 5: is that an ongoing relationship.
Speaker 6: Or is it like Noah, it was just fleeting.
Speaker 2: I was only there for a season, so I didn't
Speaker 2: spend you know, I was only there for six months,
Speaker 2: so I don't personally, but I know a lot of
Speaker 2: the staff who were there, Like some of the people
Speaker 2: on the boat had been there twenty years. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: that family was like family to them. So yeah, a
Speaker 2: lot of the people on the boat, I think, do
Speaker 2: keep in contact with some of them.
Speaker 6: That's so sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're still their employee, so you have to tread
Speaker 2: carefully in those kind of scenarios.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, of course was that ever Really, I
Speaker 5: guess hard to manage being so on all the time. Like,
Speaker 5: one of the things that I really value, love you, Jess,
Speaker 5: is being able to go home and just like curl
Speaker 5: up in my bed and ignore absolutely everyone. You then
Speaker 5: having to like share rooms and like be with your
Speaker 5: co workers twenty four seven, Like, how did you distance yourself?
Speaker 2: You live in each other's pockets. I was in a
Speaker 2: like a three bed little dorm room, and I kid
Speaker 2: you not. There was one single bed and like a
Speaker 2: bunk bed, two little bunk beds. I think we had
Speaker 2: like a foot and a half of space between the beds.
Speaker 2: We had a tiny room, but we did ever own bathroom.
Speaker 2: I was very lucky. I adored the people that I
Speaker 2: shared a room with. But yeah, you live in each
Speaker 2: other's pockets. They will rotate your break so some people
Speaker 2: will break from eleven to two, some people break from
Speaker 2: two to four, and so on, so you do get
Speaker 2: a few hours of alone time. But yeah, you definitely
Speaker 2: want to value those that you work with. Yeah, everyone
Speaker 2: really got along on our boat. It was a lot
Speaker 2: of family and a lot of couples, on the boat.
Speaker 2: So yeah, very very lucky to have had a very
Speaker 2: good crew. There's always little nitpicky things, and people get
Speaker 2: tired and you get a little bit short of people.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know that like, Okay,
Speaker 2: well I'm spending the next six months with these people,
Speaker 2: like in a teeny tiny boat, so we better kind
Speaker 2: of any issues. I think being on all the time
Speaker 2: was tough, but I really liked to do the laundry
Speaker 2: and the ironing. So you can kind of tuck yourself
Speaker 2: away in the laundry room, play your music, and you
Speaker 2: could just kind of like hang up by yourself and
Speaker 2: do laundry and clean for you know, eight hours at
Speaker 2: a time. So that was a really nice shift to
Speaker 2: do because you didn't have to like on have a
Speaker 2: smiley hair perfectly done the whole time. You could just
Speaker 2: kind of like relax and get into the groove of
Speaker 2: things where say, if you were doing service that day,
Speaker 2: you would have to like really be hon.
Speaker 4: And did you ever get to swap your like if
Speaker 4: you were rusted on service and someone else was on laundry,
Speaker 4: were you allowed to be like, hey, like can I
Speaker 4: have your I'll do your laundry? If you do my service.
Speaker 2: You could kind of tell the chief stews like, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't really want to do service, like I'd prefer
Speaker 2: to do laundry. We had a girl who was one
Speaker 2: of the other stews. She loved doing service, so that
Speaker 2: was really good. I had had a lot of hospitality
Speaker 2: jobs before being a stewardess, so I was very happy
Speaker 2: just to do house keeping the laundry where she really
Speaker 2: wanted to do service. So just yeah, the chiefs sus
Speaker 2: would kind of figure who was better at this, what
Speaker 2: their strengths and weaknesses were, and kind of allocate accordingly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 6: So I tell us about the nitty gritty. Did they
Speaker 6: tip you when you left?
Speaker 2: You do get a tip at the end of season,
Speaker 2: so it was nice. We had a few little guests
Speaker 2: here and there. It was more friends of the owners,
Speaker 2: and they would tip you on our boat, not that much,
Speaker 2: a few hundred bucks each at the end of the season.
Speaker 2: It's kind of an incentive to stay on that one
Speaker 2: boat the whole season. So for your bigger tip, you
Speaker 2: have to wait till the very end of the season
Speaker 2: and then you get tipped. I think I got a
Speaker 2: few thousand dollars, maybe three thousand dollars at the end
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 6: Thank you, We'll take that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was happy with that. I mean, no complaints. Granted,
Speaker 2: I was definitely you know, I was on a lower
Speaker 2: earning boat because one I was agreen stew Two I
Speaker 2: wasn't too picky about my mind, just wanted it for
Speaker 2: the experience. And three we weren't a charter boat, so
Speaker 2: we had the owners on board most of the time.
Speaker 2: If you do work on a charter boat, you'll earn
Speaker 2: literally like six times the amount.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: So it's really you know, if you're in it to
Speaker 2: make make kind of money and make bank, which you
Speaker 2: absolutely can work on a charter boat, you're gonna I
Speaker 2: don't know how you would work Tripoli as hard, but
Speaker 2: you do, you really, really really you earn every single
Speaker 2: penny that you make. It's really tough.
Speaker 5: I have to ask, though, I didn't grow up in
Speaker 5: a family with a yacht. Yes, no, definitely mention it
Speaker 5: first as peasants over here, a season?
Speaker 6: What does that mean?
Speaker 5: So is that like a family goes and like spends
Speaker 5: a season on the boat like or is it like
Speaker 5: a week or is it a month? Is it like
Speaker 5: an entire year, Like how does it work? Do these
Speaker 5: people just go stay on this super yacht yea summer
Speaker 5: yep yep.
Speaker 2: So generally, I mean not that I'm like, yeah, a
Speaker 2: nodle about this, but you would generally have your like
Speaker 2: your Mediterranean season, and that may be from you know,
Speaker 2: May until October, and you would generally be around, you know,
Speaker 2: around Europe, so whether that be like Croatia or you know, France,
Speaker 2: Italy that area for their summer, and then you would
Speaker 2: generally the flip side of the year, you would be
Speaker 2: most of the boats would generally be around Florida and
Speaker 2: the Bahamas, so you would do like a US season.
Speaker 2: So in between, like the boat is going to be
Speaker 2: on the dock getting fixed or any little you know,
Speaker 2: things that need to be upgraded. Our main dock was
Speaker 2: in Barcelona, so we were you know, renovating the boat
Speaker 2: and tidying things up for the first few months of
Speaker 2: my season. But you know, some of the boats that
Speaker 2: they might be like an adventure boat and they may
Speaker 2: go to like Iceland, or they may go South Africa.
Speaker 2: It really depends on the boat you're on. But I
Speaker 2: would say the large majority they would have a Mediterranean
Speaker 2: season for the Yearuropean summer, and then the flip side
Speaker 2: of the year they would be around Florida and the Bahamas.
Speaker 6: And these families just stay on the boat year round.
Speaker 6: Is that so?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had maybe four or five primary guests, like
Speaker 2: primary flicks, there was all one family, but they kind
Speaker 2: of used it like a time share. So one of
Speaker 2: the siblings and her family and her guests. They would
Speaker 2: maybe come on for three weeks and then you might
Speaker 2: get like a week off. You'd have to flip the boat.
Speaker 2: You'd have to clear out everything to a deep, clean,
Speaker 2: big detail of the whole boat, and then you might
Speaker 2: have like another extension of the family. You may have
Speaker 2: the other brother, his family and all their guests. They'll
Speaker 2: come on for a week and a half. Then you'd
Speaker 2: have to flip the boat detail it have two weeks
Speaker 2: off to do that, and then you may have like
Speaker 2: the other extension of the family or like and their guests.
Speaker 2: So you caught. You know, you might have a few
Speaker 2: weeks for one section of the family and then you
Speaker 2: know different guests. It's nice you get a variety of people,
Speaker 2: but it's very long to have the boss on board
Speaker 2: for several weeks time.
Speaker 6: That would be so challenging.
Speaker 2: You're going at one hundred percent one hundred miles an
Speaker 2: hour for weeks on end.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just to impress them. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Also flipping it entire like resetting an entire boat, every
Speaker 4: fire boat. It's giving me really strong flashbacks, like when
Speaker 4: my mum would have people come over to the house
Speaker 4: and she'd be like, we musculan everything and you're like
Speaker 4: shoving things into cupboards, and but you guys are doing it.
Speaker 6: On like another whole level.
Speaker 4: Literally right, No shoving things into cupboards on the super yocht.
Speaker 2: No, you're detailing the cupboards and you're folding every single
Speaker 2: you have to like fold and color coordinate all the rags.
Speaker 2: Everything was clean with like Q tips.
Speaker 6: What clean with Q tips? Not just your years. I'm
Speaker 6: going to get now, I'm going to get slammed for that. Obviously,
Speaker 6: you should put Q tips in your ears. Children don't
Speaker 6: do that. But oh my gosh, that is wild.
Speaker 5: It's interesting to ask pervy questions about how the other
Speaker 5: half live because it's just.
Speaker 6: So foreign to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me tell ya, Like I've into France, I've
Speaker 5: into the south of France. I'm very very lucky and
Speaker 5: grateful for that experience. But yeah, I stayed in hostels,
Speaker 5: So when you said bunk beds, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I get vug beds.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we get vung beds.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was nice because like we had to try
Speaker 2: out some of the beds and make sure. You know,
Speaker 2: before the season like officially started, we had detailed everything
Speaker 2: and we had to make sure that everything flowed perfectly
Speaker 2: in the rooms. So our chiefs do it that. Okay,
Speaker 2: everyone pick a room. You have to spend a night
Speaker 2: or two in there. Make sure the air con works,
Speaker 2: make sure the TVs work, make sure the music works,
Speaker 2: make sure the beds are comfortable, everything's clean. So you
Speaker 2: kind of got forty eight hour luxurious experience sleeping in
Speaker 2: the guest cabins.
Speaker 6: Don't mind if I do.
Speaker 2: Back to bunk beds after that.
Speaker 5: I'm happy to test anybody's guest cabins on their super yachts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if anyone needs a hand, you just call me.
Speaker 5: I've got your back, yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, my goshene
Speaker 5: as well.
