The Fashion Shoot...

Wednesday 11th August

While Edi was sitting up on deck this morning, a lady on the dock approached and asked him whether we would consider letting her use Daisy for a fashion photo shoot. We all thought that sounded like fun, so after discussing the rules (no shoes, no smoking etc) we agreed to let them perform the shoot. Bob insisted that Edi was in charge and had to keep an eye on things. The arrangements were made and we agreed they would perform the shoot the following morning.

That afternoon Danni filmed Julie’s ‘Daily Motivational Challenge’ right there on the end of the dock overlooking the ocean. Julie does this every day in an effort to motivate people to get fit and maintain a healthier lifestyle. You can watch Julie’s Daily Motivational Challenge on www.youtube.com search ‘Julie Wilkes’.
Danni, Julie and Edi went over to the Island gym for a workout in the afternoon, while Bob and I went snorkeling.
We had a lazy evening on board playing Mexican train and drinking cocktails. I cooked my delicious Creamy Crab with seashells Pasta for dinner.


Thursday 12th August

The fashion shoot troupe arrived mid morning, with hairdresser, make-up artist, photographer, photographer’s assistant, fashion director, models, magazine representative, the list just goes on…

Edi and I turned on the air con below decks as everyone arrived; fabulous clothes were hung in the saloon, two gorgeous models (one male one female) boarded, and Edi and I stood back and watched, we made pitcher after pitcher of iced water for everyone to drink.

Bob, Danni and Julie went over to the island to get out of the way for the shoot, while Edi and I stayed on board. It was fascinating watching the proceedings; all the work involved with getting a photograph just right, the shoot ran for most of the day. Bob, Danni and Julie arrived back after lunch and the shoot was still in full swing. We all kept as low a profile as possible not to interfere with their work.

Once the shoot was complete we all got our cameras out and enjoyed photo opportunity’s with the models and crew.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner out at one of the resort’s chic restaurants that night.
