PENELOPE P in PORT Aged 49 Penelope P is found licking her wounds and patching up her emotions after finishing a 6 year relationship. Originally from the UK, her split inspired her to move lock stock and 2 smoking barrels from Sydney to the tropical paradise of Port Douglas to start the next Chapter in her life. Not knowing anybody and putting a pin in a map, literally, this is the blog of her finding her feet, her confidence and her life.....

So what's the next step
Since I have returned from the UK from my Dad's Birthday in October I haven't really got any work.
It's a situation I actually love! It is amazing how days whizz by and I still have lots of projects and ideas that I would like to fulfil, but it does boil down to the old spondoolics... so I need to keep my head above water.
The last year has really eaten into my savings and though I have money invested it's not accessible so I have to earn my liquid currency!
On my return with my long term tenant in my house in Costa Rica gave in his notice after only 8 weeks of a 1 year rental agreement! I had no holiday lets in Port Douglas lined up so income was a little scarce.
Luckily I had done some work before being a snorkel guide on my friend's yacht.. so since I was back and they needed someone.. I am now working on their boat. So far this month I have worked 6 half days at $90 for half a day.. so that has helped.
It's good work not stressful and with only 3 crew (Jackie and her husband) and me and a maximum of 25 guests it makes for a lovely half day.
Going to the Low Isles which is a turtle haven means that one regularly sees turtles, sharks, giant batfish and it's beautiful.
I have applied for various jobs in diving and behind desks.. so it will be interesting to see where the next turn takes me!
The yacht I work on - my office at the moment.. all 91 ft of it!
