This tasty treat is  so welcome when we are at sea sailing south.

Not sure if its just me or everyone feels this way but once the boat moves I eat everything I can get my hands on, I blame the fact that it takes more energy for my body to keep balanced in the motion of the ocean! What I do know is the more I eat the better I feel and the better I travel so thats all I need to know!!

Beach body starts once we arrive!!
