Tracy always was perfectly comfortable in the kitchen, cooking for the two of them alone or entertaining guests. Upon graduation Tracy landed a job with Quantas Airlines.  Then instead of taking that job, they made a further commitment to each other and and the charter sailing industry. They made an Atlantic crossing delivery to start.

Tracy’s more formal chef training started at a local college, and moved on to a 3 week intensive one on one chef and galley management course in Palma, Majorca.
