A typical day starts off with me getting suited and booted for a raging day at the office. Where I get to encourage the loyalist of my company to be the brand, be the company and everything else will fall in place. After delivering the morning charge to the troops, I sit down and adorn my fire battalion hat and attempt to make a flurry of calls, putting out the necessary fires that have erupted over night.

Needless to say much of the calls don’t seem to be much of an alarm, just the hapless retailer who’s afraid he’ll run out of meats, or the Bahamian grocer who constantly seeks to keep his shelves overstocked. After I’m finished soothing their fears, I finally reach over to grab my first cappuccino, but not before my blackberry pings 6-7 times reminding me of incoming mail.

After attending to one of my many aloof salesmen, who seems to have gotten himself into a pickle, after leaving the office for only 30 minutes; I now have free time to attend to the urgent matter at hand. The aroma filled cappuccino sitting on my desk and my everything bagel with toasted mozzarella and turkey.

After taking my palate on a delightful journey that has awakened my other senses, I snap into creative mode; which transforms me from a skilful sales manager into a star conductor of sorts. As I begin to bring the many elements of the web, the local media and the brand into alignment my pc hums as the pitter patter of the keys begins to create its own delightful concerto.

As the day draws on and noon tip toes into the afternoon, I am suddenly snapped back to reality by the hunger pangs in my stomach. As if needing no other guidance system, I promptly pack up my trusty notebook and holster my blackberry. As I begin to search for a quick fix to calm the ravenous beast that has lain dormant for a few hours. I set my sights on Poop Deck. A quaint restaurant located on the waterfront, that allows me to look over the yachts and the clear blue waters of the Bahamas, as I begin to savor the taste of my freshly caught Salmon entrée.

As my mind begins to wander about the traipsing’s of the fishermen who live on the Outer Islands, and have so much fun while earning a living; my next adventure is hatched. Tomorrow I set sail for Bimini, for fun, frolic and the best big game fishing the Bahamas has to offer!!
