I’m a Southern California-based sailor documenting real-world cruising, boat ownership, and life on the water. My content focuses on practical, experience-driven insights from sailing along the California coast and into Mexico, with an emphasis on what it actually takes to own, maintain, and operate a sailboat. I’ve restored and lived aboard a 36-foot sailboat in San Diego, rebuilding systems from the ground up including electrical, rigging, and mechanical components. That hands-on experience shapes everything I write. I don’t just sail, I understand how the boat works and what it costs to keep it moving. My sailing background includes formal ASA 101, 103, and 104 certifications, coastal cruising experience, and extended time navigating high-traffic harbors like San Diego Bay, Long Beach, and Newport Beach. I’ve also sailed extensively to Catalina Island and along the Baja coast. I write about topics including: • Sailing destinations and route planning • Boat ownership and refit realities • Harbor navigation and anchoring • Offshore preparation and mindset • The financial realities of sailing My perspective is grounded, direct, and honest. I focus on what works, what breaks, and what people don’t talk about until they’re already in it. I’m especially interested in sharing insights that make sailing more accessible, particularly for women entering the space without traditional pathways or unlimited budgets.

I run EpicEdits, an SEO agency for private jet operators and luxury travel brands. We help high-end hospitality and aviation companies stay visible when search behaviour changes. I track how affluent travellers research trips. The shift is clear. Thirty-one percent of luxury travel searches now start on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude instead of Google. These AI platforms don't show ten blue links. They synthesise one answer. If your brand isn't cited, you're invisible. I've spent the past three years studying what I call Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO). Traditional SEO optimises for Google's algorithm. GEO optimises for how AI platforms select and cite sources. The rules are different. AI platforms reward structured data, verifiable facts, and clear answers. Marketing fluff gets ignored. I work with private jet companies, luxury hotels, and premium tour operators across Europe and North America. One private jet client had zero visibility in AI search results in March 2025. By September, they appeared in 40% of relevant Perplexity queries. The fix wasn't more content. It was citation-worthy content. I also track luxury travel pricing strategies. Resort fees, premium economy creep, unbundled services-I document how companies rebrand basics as luxuries. The average resort fee hit $42 per night in 2025, up from $25 in 2015. Airlines now charge extra for the legroom that was standard in the 1990s. My background combines technical SEO with travel industry knowledge. I understand both the algorithms and the customer journey. I know why a private jet charter company needs different optimisation than a budget airline. I'm available to journalists covering travel pricing, luxury hospitality trends, AI search behaviour, and how travel brands adapt to answer engines. I provide specific data, real examples, and quotable insights—no corporate speak or vague predictions. Based in the UK, working internationally.
