Hey everyone, welcome back to the Mention It All podcast.

I am so thrilled to be here on a very cold and snowy week in New York, but we are keeping

things hot and sunny today with below deck down under.

And Daisy Keller, our chief stew, is here.

Hey, Daisy.

Hi.

How are you doing?

I'm doing great. It's been a minute. I'm glad to see you in New York. You braved the weather. I did. I love coming to New York. I'm always so happy when I'm here. So snow, rain, sunshine. I feel like anyone who, like, New York and London are fun because it's kind of like the same but different. It feels just like a just like a little bit removed from your everyday life, but you're like, I can still like, you feel familiar. You feel like, I'm like, I know myself oriented here. Yeah. Like, it doesn't feel too foreign. We were just talking about being in Canawan this season on Down Under is a very like different vibe. It's a part of the Caribbean that's very

like kind of secluded like a little exclusive. I was thinking this is the first time that we've

seen you out of the med. It is. That's, you know, that's kind of part of the fun of it. I love the

med. Yeah. But I also love the Caribbean. And I'm used to being on world traveling boats. So obviously I went from

sailing to down under with a whole new crew captain. But part of that was like a new part of the world as well.

So it felt so fresh and so new for me, which was yeah, pretty exciting. Was it nice for you to finally

not have to deal with guests being mad that they couldn't sail? Yeah, yeah. I feel like every season I, it's like, okay, so there's no wind. And they're like, what do you mean? Like we came all the way out here just to go sailing. I'm like, I don't want to tell you. Yeah, it was, you know, they always have something to complain about, but that was

fun that it wasn't that. Yeah, it's a much, it's a bigger boat too, because I think the sailing

yacht is smaller usually, right? She is a bigger boat. Yeah, she, I don't know if she's much

longer, but she's definitely taller and more beam. So she was a big boat with lots of stairs.

I definitely kept me fit. But yeah, it was nice. It was a good

change for sure. You mentioned coming to Down Under and having this whole new crew. There's actually

a fair number of people on this season that have done below deck in the past, but kind of indifferent,

you know, like Ellie was on med before and you were on

sailing obviously and then there's people that have been on down under. What was it like for you
